370 Marv Johnson (1938-1993) “You Got What It Takes” 1959

“While working in a Detroit record store, Mr. Johnson met Berry Gordy Jr., the man behind the Motown sound…Mr. Gordy paired Mr. Johnson’s gospel background with a churchy female chorus and a male bass. The result was a new sound with black roots that also appealed to white listeners” (The New York Times, 5/17/93).
