One Nation Under a Groove

An expansion of an article for The New Republic, One Nation Under a Groove examines the business behind Motown`s music. The book covers many aspects of Motown`s particular culture, such as the unusual Midwest location of Motown records. It chronicles the life and business career of Berry Gordy, and the period in which the music itself rose to popularity, between the demise of Tin Pan Alley and the rise of rock `n` roll.
