Johnny was hired not long after Maurice King came to Motown (1963), when, as Johnny put it, 'they started to pay real money' to musicians. He was there until Motown left town. He played regularly at Studio A and quite likely is on many if not most of the stuff recorded there. If you have specific questions email me. | ||
