myfoxdetroit.com - Motown's first employee, Al Abrams begged a job from Berry Gordy in 1959 before the label was even launched. Soon, he became Hitsville's iconic director of publicity.
Hype & Soul provides a behind-the-scenes look at one of Detroit's most famous businesses and the creative, savvy and complex figures involved in Motown; a genius named Berry Gordy; and how a small black company came of age during the Civil Rights Movement.
This book is a must-read for anyone who loves music, history or Detroit.
Abrams will be at the 60th Annual Jewish Book Fair on Sunday, November 13th at 6pm.
