The Other Side of Motown

By Audrey Thorpe

In the 1960s, Motown Record Corporation, located in Detroit, Michigan, was in its heyday, churning out number one hit records in rapid succession. Maria Arlington was just nineteen years of age when she began working for Motown as an assistant to a talent manager. She was surrounded by a sea of famous singers, songwriters, producers, and musicians. A handsome young trumpeter captivated her heart and became unforgettable in her life. When Berry Gordy Jr. moved Motown from Detroit to Los Angeles in 1972, Maria was anxious to discover "the other side of Motown" after the company had relocated. She also wished to renew her friendship with her musician friend. After many years have passed, Maria and her musician friend meet again, and Maria is willing to travel to Los Angeles to renew their friendship, even though she's now a married woman and someone is secretively plotting to destroy her marriage.
