(2) YA As related by an irrepressible narrator called "the Groove," this history of Motown smartly places the company and its hit records in the context of (mostly) 1960s America--and has a great time doing so. While the tone is generally peppy, the book gives due attention to the racism the company and its artists faced. An excellent discography and many photographs are included.
