I don't think it was ever mentionned : in France we had recently a fantastic book on Motown, "Motown, Soul & Glamour", written by Florent Mazzoleni and Gilles Petard.
Wonderfully illustrated thanks to Gilles Petard (former Head of Motown France, record label owner and collector extraordinaire) this hardbound book just came out a couple of weeks ago over here.
The iconography is just amazing.View a few pages here :
It's noted paperback, in fact it's a HARDBACK book, really heavy !
From John Lester's review on French amazon :
"Any Motown fan that doesn't get this book is gonna kick themselves in the future. I have spent a whole afternoon just looking through the pictures and I've only gone through it twice and I still need to look again. There are just so many.
I haven't had time to try and read it too - the pictures are just too amazing for words.
There's Temps pic from their Miracle days, a Marvelettes promotional pic that I have simply NOT seen before, the wonderful French EP's....
I am ordering more copies....this is up to the same quality standard as the Motown Coffee Book but it has many more rare pictures of the lesser known groups."
