Detroit 67 Quotes

“By January 1967 Motown had built up an unrivalled sales force under the formidable direction of their white Sicilian-American sales boss, Barney Ales, whom Gordy had met when Ales was a rising star at Warner Brothers. Ales was more than a salesman. He had been a strategic lynchpin in Motown’s ability to break through racial barriers and sell its sound to a white teenage audience.”
