As long as we're on the subject, I've always been surprised that the Waters were allowed to record at Motown. Back in the '60s, unlike Sigma Sound Studios of the '70s, where any record company could send their artists to benefit from the Philly Soul sound, only Motown artists were allowed to record in Motown's studios. If that's true, how did the Waters get their foot in the door at Motown? Were they newly-signed to Motown in 1969, or were they an exception to the Motowners-only rule?
