    Help Identifying.....BG and ?

    Hello All,
    Friends of mine picked up a matted and framed pair of photos of Berry Gordy and a couple we are unable to identify. Purchased in Detroit earlier this year, they were told by the record store dealer that they came out of the Motown Mansion's pool house.
    Any help would be appreciated as to the identity of the couple.
    Thank you,
    Darin

    Marv, I'm impressed that you knew his name just by looking at the picture. I never heard of him. What I learned from the other two posts is that he was a Motown employee who shot and killed another Motown employee but the altercation was ruled accidental.

    Seeing the pics with Berry and the Supremes, he must have been quite important to Motown. Do you know what type of position he held?

    I believe he was The Supremes' road manager at the time.
