Here It Is... Hitsville...The Making of Motown...Showtime Official Trailer

[luke]

The reason for Ken Burns documentaries and many others is to go behind the scenes and uncover or discuss things in depth the public may not be aware of to understand what contributed to the issues/success etc. I hope this will be in depth or what’s the point? Brenda Holloway, Shorty Long, Raynoma, Pam Sawyer etc ...all important.

In the trailer I saw, they had John Legend, Jamie Foxx and Dr. Dre talking about Motown.. That should give you a big indication of what this is going to be like. It will not be much different than Motown 40 that aired on ABC. That was nice for it's time, but now we're looking at 60 years and Motown has enough stories and living witnesses to tell them but they never use them on these types of shows.
