I totally agree, Tammi would have been treated second rate if she had
stayed at motown.most motown stars left bitter,they were all happy in
the early days,and tammi was a new motown artisit so she was happy with
barry gordy and motown,had she lived she would eventually have to leave
motown like everyone else,if she was to continue to have a career.the
only top female artist barry seemed to push was diana ross,he wanted
diana to have the best songs, the best writers,and get into
movies,tammi would have had to leave to reach her full potential.--- In
