Berry Gordy - To Be Loved | Audiobook Memoir

This is a great autobiography. Berry Gordy is a genius..Who else in the history of music has developed and discovered so many artist who would go on to be legends.

Thank God for Berry Gordy! Motown Music always made me feel good & I danced! A true genius!

I loved listening to this. Berry is great at telling a story. Did you know that Berry Gordy and former President Jimmy Carter share a great-grandfather, James Thomas Gordy?

Having grown up in LA in the 60s 70s and 80s, there is no question about Motown’s contribution to the Black community, Black culture, and the world! Now, as I take a retrospective look at the inspiration behind the institution, I see The true Berry Gordy: His Genius, his guts, His grace and his greed.

Man, this is the real deal. How rare is it to find Berry Gordy "narrating" anything?

I loved just how he explained his relationship with Diana Ross a pure gentleman is to be admired and much respected. A private matter in your life is simply that. He's a man of few words. Alot of money was withheld from his artists even though they were taken out of poverty, they actually were robbed of their future earnings to last in their retirement years. Berry Gordy looked out for himself, Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder got the best protection of future earnings, and the rest of Motown had broken wings. No one is exempt from their wrong doing. There's a price to pay for treating other's unfairly. Not saying he's a bad guy, but everyone is to be treated fairly.

I really enjoyed listening to this memoir by Berry Gordy. History is great.

Berry Gordy is a good storyteller. I enjoyed this audiobook.

this is amazing.....far better than any movie or TV show I've seen or heard in a while.

A living legend narrating his own life, .....I can dig it!✊🏿✊🏿✌🏾😎

I read the book years ago but this audio makes his story even better.

I read this book years ago when it first came out, but him telling the story himself made it even better!

History at it's best thank you Barry Motown you are loved Blessings!

The fact that Berry still alive in 2024 is incredible he’s a walking living breathing Library.. Crazy to think he was born the same year as Dr King reminds you the harsh Jim Crow era wasn’t really that long ago

Thank You Mr. Gordy For Your Gift And Vision To Create And Manifest An Amazing Career For Yourself And Others. Amen!

That is why most of these artist are having their own studios,producers rob a lot of these great voices but time alone will tell

No need for my reading glasses ! This is great !

This is right on time! In light of the 60th Anniversary of the Temptations as well as The Supremes, I've been fascinated by all things Motown. Thank you for this upload.

I like that he fell back and just became transparent. This music is legendary. It's going to be long around after we are all gone. I mean it's like Bach and Beethoven Motown is timeless. Berry Gordy details his intuition and instinct didn't always fail him. He really believed in his vision and grew as he moved forward. People who wants to go in the business should listen to this. He clarifies that you have to put in the work . He even elaborated about the different correlations he developed. Like how he and Diana Ross was moving. That for me demonstrated his human side,of course it was beneficial for Ms. Ross's career. That's besides the point. He targeted in one person and proved it can work..ok the relationship was denounced later for business reasons but at least he shared what he wanted to now. What's clear is that he knew that everyone didn't like his curt decisions,but he understood that. Point is in the end like what Marvin Gaye said in his book. Berry made each and everyone of them a household name. For that he was thankful.

Iam so impressed with his story and talent l wish l could meetmr berry Gordy listening to him is like a business 101 class outstanding teacher
