Just thinking, we know all about Motowns Quality control regarding the Grooves,

However, there are some stunning designs for his Labels.

I wonder who was behind this,

Obviously Gordy as a name for a label speaks for Itself,

and the Design is stunning, as are the others V.I.P., Tamla etc.

He set off with the Tamla & Motown Striped Labels,

AND THEN ?

I just wonder who was responsible for the later Designs, and the Names.

Was Gordy pulling every string, Including the finer points of Label Design,

I Wonder!.

Rob Klein, who isn't on this forum but who is on soulfuldetroit soul-talk and some other forums, was an artist at motown (I think he did LP cover art) in the 60s. He would probably be a good person to answer your question...
