He   converted the garage of a residential house into a studio and recruited   teenagers from the neighborhood-like Smokey Robinson, Mary Wells,  Marvin  Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Diana Ross-to sing for his new label.   Meanwhile, the country was on the brink of a cultural revolution, and   one of the most powerful agents of change in the following decade would   be this group of young black performers from urban Detroit. From Berry   Gordy and his remarkable vision to the Civil Rights movement, from the   behind-the-scenes musicians, choreographers, and song writers to the   most famous recording artists of the century, Andrea Davis Pinkney  takes  readers on a Rhythm Ride through the story of Motown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roaring Brook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133506830576,"sku":"9781596439740","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781596439740_p0.jpg?v=1769901614","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781596439740","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
