In hindsight Gordy should have left the music division of Motown in Detroit and moved only the movie and tv division to Hollywood. Taking Motown out of Detroit was like taking Philly Int'l out of Philadelphia.

Suzanne's expertise was more in the development of movie and tv projects. Gordy should have listened to his own ear where the music was concerned or hired Detroiters for that. Also, they should have consolidated all of the labels into only one or two. Between the rock acts and the country acts Motown lost its identity. I mean, Pat Boone? Cmon, really.
