Well his wife is honest and i like her.
Ok so I need to read this book now.
Thank you so much for uploading this special moment in history. I've read Berry, Me and Motown by Raynoma Gordy SIngleton twice now - an absolute essential read. Greetings from Australia.
"Class will turn the heads of queens and kings."
‐Maxine Powell
Very good and enjoyable show recognising the beautiful talented woman of Motown.
RIP Sylvia Moy🙏
RIP Syreeta Wright🙏
RIP Gladys Horton🙏
RIP Raymona Singleton-Gordy🙏
RIP Maxcine Powell🙏
They were some classy women and kick-ads chicks. What a time to be alive!
Oh no. I didn’t know they passed.
We all have a date and time. Enjoy life and live it the best you can...be loving, kind, humble, and seek out the Most High! Rest easy Sisters!!!!!
So glad to be able to watch this!
I grew up loving the Motown sound. I danced and sung there songs with all my family and friends. It cannot be compared. My mom and dad danced and would sing all there songs it was great growing up listening to this wonderful music. I'm so glad that I grew up at this wonderful time in my life.
Love the respect they gave Martha Reeves
Same should’ve been given to Gladys Horton, lead singer of The Marvelettes
@@NOV123 Absolutely, Grace and the Marvellettes. They produced the very 1st number one hit for Motown. (Please Mr Postman) The continued with Big Hits like "Don't mess with Bill" and "Anytime the Hunter Gets Captured by the Game." The had a few changes of members due to pregnancies and illnesses but they kept working in the studio. Motown later dumped the Marvellettes and didn't even tell them that their services were no longer preferred. Many of these women had issues with Gordy and Motown but must admit that if it wasn't for Berry and the success of Motown none of them would have been working in the field of their choosing. Notice how Raye got shafted by Berry but she would admit that she could have been doing something worse like selling her body on the streets! Amazing stories bit we all know that these record companies are frickin rip offs.
WOW! I never saw this when it originally aired or anytime after. These ladies are so well spoken and spoke their truth. I appreciate their honesty. I loved this segment and all of the history shared. Thank you for posting this.
Wish this was a two hour special to give more time to so many talented ladies! Motown put Detroit on the map and enhanced our race! I spent all of my summers in Detroit as a child and my cousin was Martha Reeves best friend , Yvonne Jenkins who could also sing! She couldn’t get along with Diana Ross , so she left Motown!
I can tell Martha didn’t really feel comfortable talking about berry in a negative way
Rest in peace Mary Wells and Florence Ballard......July 5th 2020...here in Maywood Illinois USA
Amazing episode. Love the original commercials
Some real tension on that panel.
It’s all women. What u expect?
I caught that too!!!
@@NOV123 you’re absolutely right
those looks they had for each other was everything ! The side eye,the evil eye, and the plain ole eye.
@@christinekelly7769 plane Ole eye lol!!
iT WAS A GREAT SHOW AND THE LADIES WERE WONDERFUL.
These ladies are great.where is Mrs Claudia Robinson she and her brothers should be acknowledged
You mean her cousin
Claudette
Geraldo said the British invasion wiped out Motown. It did not. They continued to thrive.
Motown only started getting going during the British invasion. Motown hits continued all through the 60s. There was no stoppage of hits
Geraldo is an idiot.
Motown had it's biggest hits at the peak of the British invasion and the Rolling Stones and Beatles covered Motown records.
Syreeta Wright will always be my favorite
I loved the little Marvin Gaye tribute but it would’ve been nice to see at least a small pictorial tribute to the Motown ladies who had passed away (at that time) like Tammi Terrell, Florence Ballard and Georgeanna Tillman (of the Marvelettes). 🤷🏾♀️
Barbara Acklin too. She should have been a super star.
@@jamberry8026 Was Barbara Acklin ever signed to Motown? She was still alive when this show aired in 1990 tho.
@@LadyDuchess She recorded on the Gordy label which is a subsdiary of motown. She has been deceased since 11/27/98.
instablaster
@@jamberry8026 but she passed years after this aired
Some of the best .R.I.P to those who have gone on to a higher calling
What a wonderful clip! All of the ladies had interesting stories. Thank you for uploading. (Even the commercials were interesting)
Makes me happy that you and others are enjoying this video that I had saved for decades.
Thank u Randy Vest this is a great relic of American history....🌈
Ms. Martha Reeves, so full of class.
Martha Reeves the Queen of Motown.
@@aarondigby5054 I always loved Roz. Such a doll baby ❤
Thanks for airing this enlightening and delightful inside story on Motown.
I saw a Christmas special once and Martha Reeves sang "silver bells". I can't get it out of my mind because that's the best silver bells I ever heard!
Martha Reeves, Tammi Terrell the best singers.
We are in the 21st Century and I am still listening to the Motown Sound. That kind of meaningful, peaceful, caring, understanding and loving Gem Music would continue on until the end of time🎶 RIP towards some of the ladies on that Panel whom has journeyed on. And RIP Mary Wilson.🌹 Also the 1960s, 1970s and 1990s were similar in their style of Soulful Ballad Singing Groups.
Yes today’s music, the stuff I’ve heard has nothing on these oldies. Just thinking how beautiful the love songs were.
Thanks for posting. Love Motown. This aired when I was 7. Thanks to you I was able to share with my 7yr old.
It seems as if The Velvettes are the forgotten girl group of Motown - I wish Geraldo could have given them an honorable mention.
Motown forever! But only heard of The Velvlettes now. Who were their members and what were their hits?
Mrs Jones the lead singer of the group was a young lady named Carolyn (she has a very distinct sound) and they changed members throughout their tenure. Betty Kelly from Martha Reeves and the Vandellas was also a member. Their big hit was a Needle in the Haystack (you can check out a live performance on UA-cam when they were on a dance show in the 1960s). They stood out from the rest of the girl groups at Motown because they still attended high school and held down part time jobs while being recording artists whereas the other Motown girl groups were devoted to Motown on a full time basis.
@@cantkeepmedown100 Oh!!!! I remember "Needle in a Haystack " The group's name is not familiar to me though. Thank you.
I agree with you 100% also you got Blinky and Gladys night
@@Gr8LilLady Their signature hit (and it wasn't a monster hit but did respectably well in certain areas) was "Needle in a Haystack". It was on the V.I.P. subsidiary label of Motown. They may have dented the charts with another single "A Bird in the Hand (Is Worth Two in the Bush") but much of their material was not up to the standard of most of the classic Motown hits and the hooks weren't as strong. They were, I believe, a sister group. I saw them live once here in L.A. and they are gorgeous ladies, polished, and lots of fun on stage. Too bad they didn't find their own H-D-H; I think if Berry had given them more attention and promotion muscle they could've gone as far as other Motown artists. If you liked the sound of "Where Did Our Love Go" you will enjoy "Needle in a Haystack".
He was introducing the women that people may not have known that were behind the scenes at Motown. Yes, Kim Gladys and Martha are up there but, it was mainly about the women behind the scenes.
Thank you for posting this SHOW
You're very welcome. It gives me joy to know that so many have viewed it and that it has given them such pleasure.
Lot of tension up there, Geraldo handled it 100% like a pro's pro. Folks wrote off Martha Reeves as a nutcase (including some of those she mentions here) yet she clearly shows her deep intelligence/loyalty in mentioning "prayer" when she goes into the shock of some of her co-label mates having had recently passed on. Deep. She is a great person. Syreeta Wright summed it all up well, very wholesome just like she sounds.
How did I miss this? Thank you so much for posting this, so sad that we have lost some of these ladies since this show aired, whatever demons Berry Gordy was dealing with he helped co found one of the greatest record labels and companies of all time, Motown had a hand in changing the course of Popular music forever and it's influence still reverberates today, 60 some years after the fact...
Motown I grew up on a music my mother she loved listening to the radio I cried like a baby when I when I couldn't get to the more time review didn't know Barry was a pimp but hey you know he and he he involved he he he went on to be a multi-millionaire helped everybody that came through his company and son and people that didn't I'm a detroiter proud to be one I was a kid back then listening to this stuff now grown man is very interesting go ahead Motown
@@randygaines2295 Right On!
To be honest it was good that Diana Ross was not there. Her celebrity would have outshined everyone. Let these women have the spotlight
Yes very true
I'm glad she wasn't there as she doesn't belong there. She's a distraction.
Stevie wonder's ex wife is so beautiful she can be a model.
Yeah bc lord knows not one of them could’ve gotten the spotlight ANY other way lol... with the exception of the MARVELOUS MS. MARTHA REEVES
@@nancypiccirillo405 ur right. Because she’s a SUPERSTAR
The truth will set you free should be the title of this video!!! It goes to show how wonderful women were but used for men to get what they have and always gotten credit for? Many of these women seem that they sang about their lives and many people then and now still have and had a problem with the truth which is something women are wonderful for breaking barriers with which is the courage women are still doing things and will for their children. It is quite amazing but we are coming around women, but we still got a long way to go beginning with women supporting women! The truth will set you free but otherworldly ideology has its own agenda! This also is amazing how a Puerto Rican man to have a show honoring women something not too many of our own men ever did, yes they used them to make money but they never got the props they really and earnestly deserved! Those songs were and still are amazing songs with true stories that still right now today hold to be true. Men always get credit for things when without women would be nothing! Together they can break all kinds of barriers and when women support one another big things happen!
I used to watch Geraldo with my mom when I was a kid. And I always thought he gave good advice
8/20/20: Mable Johns THANK YOU for SETTING THE HISTORICAL MOTOWN BEGINNING STRAIGHT. For speaking up for the talented Ray Gordy Singleton for letting people know BE CAREFUL - BECAUSE ITS NOT WHAT YOUR WORDS SAY WITH THE ILL TAKE CARE OF YOU-ITS WHAT YOUR ACTIONS DO!
Her name was MABLE JOHN
You can tell who was still on BG’s payroll and who was not. Janie Bradford, even to this day, will defend him beyond rebuke. I think Raynoma described Motown perfectly: “triumph and tragedy”.
That's not true. I wasn't on Berry Gordy's payroll and I feel the same as Janie Bradford, and Motown fans around the world, we love Berry Gordy.
Janie does not mince words she would tell it like it is LeimertDreamer.
@@manuelesparza1081 Berry was a visionary but he was also a pimp. He used those people and tossed them like soiled cotton balls. He used the Marvellettes and later didn't even tell them that their services were no longer preferred. He used Ray and left her with zero. He invested and got his money back tenfold. He controlled Marvin for a while until Marvin said that he wasn't going to do it his way anymore. He controlled Stevie until he refused to record unless he owned his own production and lyrics. He used most of those women on stage. Guess how many of them are wealthy right now. They are only giving him props because he didn't have to give any of them a chance but he did.
Berry Dordy had a gambling problem and William Robinson stepped in to save motown from vultures. If not for William Robinson wouldn't be no motown from the jump!
@@locadisa All record companies are like that.
she was in love with gordy, but he wasnt interested in her
Great Show 👍 !!!.....Geraldo At His Best !!!...
This is before Geraldo lost his mind and started pedaling racist propaganda on fox.
Her brother Little Willie John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Stevie Wonder January 17, 1996 plus a book was written on him called Fever.👌
The FIRST LADIES OF MOTOWN should’ve been there. MARY WELLS and CLAUDETTE ROBINSON!!
Mary Wells was suffering by this time with throat cancer. And was reduced to whispering. They acknowledge this towards the end of the clip.#Rip Mary Wells Queen of Motown. 😪
Cruising through UA-cam came across this classic! Awesome topic awesome show used to watch him and all the great talk shows of the eighties and nineties as a young teenager,
Thanks Geraldo!!!
definitely great and unforgettable music !
I'm so happy I came across this video this is such a valuable video I'm surprised he doesn't have more views Berry Gordy wow a lot of information on his path
Well respected women. They had respect for each other.
17 dollars to turn tricks for your husband was sooo sad. However, he couldn't give her at least 1million dollars when he sold the company. 17 dollars in the 1960's is equivalent to $150.00 today
I thought the same as far as Berry giving Ray at the least 1million.
The brown skin on Glady's, Kim, Syreeta, Martha and the others look stunning.
Yes all the women black beauty!!!
Kim Weston looks FANTASTIC!!!
Berry Gordy ripped everybody off except some of the men.
Are they paying these women's to come on t.v.tell there busyness what happen years ago.
you're nuts he ripped everyone off except
Diana Ross
@@lindahines9380 Uh uh.. Mary Wilson and the funk brothers got their money. So did Martha Reeves. She's worth as much as Mary Wilson was when she passed away this year. If it wasn't for William Robinson gangsters would have taken over motown. In fact, there wouldn't be no motown if not for William Robinson! You don't even know what you're talking about. He ripped off Diana too. That's why she left and went to I think it was RCA.
Listen....Berry was streetwise in those days but he was no gangster! The Ruffin Brothers, some of the Funk Brothers were actual gangsters!....Berry knew who not to "Chump".
@@a.c.6475 He chumped all of them, truth be known.
Everyone gives Diana her props for becoming a superstar, diva or whatever you want to call her but for some reason, Diana is apparently too good to appear on the same shows as these women.
You say Diana is apparently too good to appear on the same show as these women , I thought why didn't Diana appear on that show. But after thinking about it if it were me I wouldn't appear either because bring on that show would only feed gossip columns more mess specially if a certain bandmate would probably be there. I personally would be sick and tired of the bull whether your intentions are to do good. The gossip colunms would make hay if it . I guess you either didn't know or either forgot or didn't remember that Diana was still climbing out of the mess brought on by a certain bandmate I will not name ,and as a professional move to protect herself from further damage would be better to give space between herself and tthem, and I would not at all blame Diana for doing so .
Exactly
And you know this Miss Jane Bradley said she always been that way
They don't want to tell the true story
@@brianwoods9741 that
sounds immature and ridiculous
Because you go on shows clear up and stop the fake gossip
@@yogibrown220 your coming is ridiculous none of these women are has been they are icons know the difference as long as you still alive
U r not a has-been
U r the sounds of Ignorance
Why go that far and say to seens to good to be on the same show, we'll never really know the real reason she didn't appear ,it could be already contractually obligated ,she may not have not known about because they may have assumed she wouldn't appear with them all again making it a difficult obligation to break at th ed last moment. Or maybe she simply didnt want to there, which is her reasonable response if that be the case. Remember there was a time whatever Diana did as far as trying to tell her part she was being attacted .and you think about it. Who wants to go in the lions den only to keep being attacted. Diana has been interviewed giving her side of the story only to fall on deaf ears it seem. She only human as we all are and I noticed diana after being interviewed left whatever that was going on between them as positive as she could. I always felt Diana could have said more damning info then she let on . Diana had the weight of Motown on her shoulders and she carried that weight for many , many years and because of her obligation as a figure head at Motown maybe she couldn't or chose not to respond to things she may even wanted to go after. We'll never really know . Did you know for example Mary Wilson and Diana was on the phone for hours like sisters who hadn't talked or seen each other in years just days before Msry Wilson died , according to Mary's eldest daughter reported all while people was hating on diana. Again so we cannot nor should people get all tied up in knots. And in Diana's defence I have heard Diana say it's the media that's making us seem like we're at odds with one another.
Thank you 2023 ❤
Maxine Powell is a frickin legend
Wow, that is some talented lineup!
Martha Reeves looked beautiful
Raynoma really was key in making Motown what it was in the beginning. I can't believe she admitted to prostitution, that is something I would never tell in a book, in an interview or anywhere.
You can't hide what your truth is when others, know about it.It's best to tell your own story. Most importantly have a talk with JESUS, (repentance) and keep it moving.
@@miadellahayman2491 your own truth is the best truth.
Gladys Horton is technically the biggest star up there. And ironically, she says the least. Martha was neck and neck with her. She was the singer on Motown’s first number 1 song which is Please Mr Postman!
Gladys was a headliner as lead singer of the Marvelettes
Mabel John recorded the original version of your good thing is about to come to a end when she to stax records before Lou Rawls did it
Watching this again, 👍🙏✝️♥️✌️😎
Geraldo paved the way for Maury, Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos
Claudette Rogers, Brenda Holloway, Annette Sterling, Betty Kelly, Rosalind Ashford, Sandra Tilley, Wanda Young, Katherine Anderson, Gladys Knight, and Mary Wilson should have been up there too!!!
They would need a lot of chairs and time! Plus Teena Marie, Valerie Simpson, and the female writers they had!
Dam 90s talk shows were incredibly great!!!!!💥 so much more than interesting ,💥 we were spoiled at that time, what the hell happened???
Social Media has destroyed everyone's brain.
The years of padded shoulders
Berry Gordon saw the Golden Gooses, he saw the gifts that fell in his lap ,he took advantages of their gifts and stuffed his pockets with all the millions and royalties and gave these gifted young people peanuts,all these kids wanted was to get on t v and wear fancy clothes and Berry took advantage of their short sightedeness.
MABEL JOHN PUT INTO PROPER PERSPECTIVE. AMEN
This was back when he had a spine.
Ok......who read Barry me and Motown?????
Reading it now.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit what platform it's on plz
@@lovedavis9572 Amazon
I did & believe her
I did I brought and read every book about any Motown artist sorry I feel Raynoma was treated badly and unjustly the only one really rich from Motown is Berry Gordy probably Smokey comes 2nd but so many of its artist were just done wrong
Missing Brenda Holloway, Mary Wilson, Mary Wells, Cindy Birdsong, Wanda Young, Jean Tyrell
Mary Wilson is sitting on the stage in case you do not recognize her. She really does look amazing, so perhaps you do not recognize her sitting at the end on the right of the stage!
You might mean Florence Ballard is missing!
Mary Wilson was not there.
@@shirley9529 where do you see Mary Wilson?
@@Modelt5000 Mary Wilson was not up There alot more Motown Women was not There
Wow wonderful show! Thanks for this!. Motown was a dominant Black owned business and of course will be scrutinized more than the other record companies.
Racism is not a card. Phil Spector dated Ronnie Spector, but it's not constantly brought up as part of his legacy. Motown artists were shot at in the south. Gordy couldn't get a hotel room in Tennessee while doing record business. The Geraldo show had an hour and some of the questions and comments were ridiculous. Motown had 110 top ten hits from 1961 to 1971 alone! But if you choose to think the inequality in this country is a card game go ahead.
It Was A Race Issue
I was glad when when Raynoma Singleton wrote her book very telling. Raynoma was a beautiful woman
@@kenj280 i msut say it is weird when you look at that era because the other black acts such as the Ronnettes, Dionne Warwick, Johnny Mathis, Nat king Cole,Little Eva,and the shirreles are not seen as being black music like Motown is. I always found that weird
@@devanshepard9118 That's true. I have also seen Motown tributes that don't seem to realize it was a company!
Martha ' still fine as Heaven.steve wife is simply " Marveless.
That brown skin is pretty especially on Glady's. Kim was a foxx also.
Yes Kim got that brown beauty as well yep!!
11:10 I believe Raynona Gordy that Berry was a Pimp! She doesn’t come across as bitter but as the woman that knew him before his success.She also puts her personal business out there which if someone was lying, wouldn’t do!
Where's Brenda Holloway?
Who was your favorite, Brenda or Tammy? I think that I missed something.
Chile bye!
Geraldo had the best talk show. This was excellent. So much talent. Such great memories. 🌲🎁🎁
I love how Geraldo makes his entrance.
WOW...so good to see Carol Martin from CBS News in New York during the commercials... i had a MAJOR crush on her... her and Anne Curry are still my all time favorite TV news ladies 😍
Hope Ian Levine made good and paid those Motown artists because he still owes them. I sure didn’t like how he disrespected Mary Wilson when she died and I told him so
Damn commercials every 2 minutes SMDH
marvin gaye was murdered too young. i love his albums before he passed. by far a sound that has not been reproduced. i miss him.
JANIE BRADFORD TOLD ALL OF THE TRUTH!!! And set them all straight at the beginning! I love it
No she didn't she was set straight when that lady said she was there before
A Motown
@@QueenAnitaSoul Exactly! I liked her the least of everyone!
@@QueenAnitaSoul, it's funny because some here don't know who you know or who we know. I have to be fair here because Janie Bradford is nowhere as bad as some believe this appearance makes her look.
You know me so I know that I don't have to justify how I've met her to you. But to you're right...Janie didn't tell EVERYTHING that went down at Motown & people like Sweet Pea, you & myself are fortunate enough to have met or actually KNOW many of those who passed through Motown.
And the ONE rule that just about ALL Motown artists know & adhere to, is that you just don't speak badly about Motown.
A lot of artists without hits have continued to be able to work on the strength of the fact that they were once Motown artists :)
1990 wow ... I had the opportunity 2 meet all the ladies except the great Sylvia Moy and spend some good quality time with them. They all look so beautiful.
Ian Levine use 2 call me "Spookey," at home too get their home numbers so he could record them; he would beg me just too call Jean Terrell or Gladys Horton to let them know and I did.
The way Berry Gordy did Flo Ballard was terrible and he needs to give her kids some money
I met some money
Florence signed that away.
Stevie's wife is very pretty and Gladys from the Marvelette's
Yeah Syreeta Wright wrote a lot of songs with Stevie even after they divorced they were still a writing team
Did you actually think Stevie was that blind??
he could’ve just did an interview with Diana if he wanted to know so much about her 😐.
Man was i in Love with her.
His ex-wife is pretty!
Yea it's not Dianas fault Berry paid her more attention but she could have told him not too.
thing is- it might not be fair, but the simple fact is diana is quite simply a super mega star talent, elvis / jagger level, and someone that insanely good and that driven is destined for massive success and they gotta be up front in a group, its just how it is. she schemed and plotted etc, of courseshe did, but thats part of the game in a very competitive high stakes industry / endeavour.
Janie Bradford was NOT going to knock Motown or Berry Gordy with any negativity! And let's be realistic.... There was plenty of "shit" that went on! Especially with the girl groups..... It was SUPREMES all the way.... Or should I say "Diana"!!!!
You should say Ms Ross.
@@kirk5487 😅🤣😂
Great show but it seem like Janie Bradford has issue with Sylvia Moy.
Janie is a company girl to the bone....Sylvia is an independant
Just saw the Shady Brooke commercial. Wonder if General Hospital is getting paid for that?🤔
Incredible label.queen diana
AMEN
17 dollars???
A damn shame....and Barry Gordy gave his ex wife only a plaque after selling Motown for 61 million dollars.He wouldn't think about doing that to Diana Ross.Smh
I would like to see the Geraldo episode of LA girl gangs, which was recorded in Phoenix, Arizona.
They are some beautiful Hebrew Israelites Qweens .every last one of them. And I thank you ladies.many children were made by yall voices.
I would have thought that Motown could have at least paid to have some of these ladies teeth to be fixed several years ago...they did it for Diana Ross.
@Janette Webster That's right, Janette! You want new teeth at Motown, then you need to bed Gordy!!
@@pianoman551000 Motown also fixed Tammy Terrell's teeth as well.
@@Modelt5000 they fixed her Teeth? james brown knocked her teeth out whoever did her teeth messed her up
they didn't fit her
The former Berry Gordy's wife is very forthcoming surprisingly how is it that she ended up with nothing after he Soul Motown I have to find this book She Wrote I'm flabbergasted right now 61 million dollars and his wife didn't get any of it

True! I wish Gabrielle Union would have played Mary Wells when she was younger they are almost identical.
2/27/21 - Well, well, well... Frankly, after watching this entire episode of Geraldo, what I found more interesting though were the commercials not Geraldo & things have not changed much today February 27, 2021:
1) Sale prices for men's clothing about the same 2 shirts for $14.99
2) Orange juice (OJ) commercial with blonde kid asking his mom (Nicole look-alike) and his little friends for some OJ while looking in the fridge - those ads disappeared after the OJ Simpson's case. It's a teeny tiny stretch, but in essence you may surmise that OJ had something to do with its (orange juice ads) disappearance 😂.
3) 51:01 - Gov. Mario Cuomo (father of current-in-hot-water Gov. of New York Andrew Cuomo) ran an ad for his re-election. He served 3 terms (12 years total). Ironically, the current Gov. Cuomo is in his 3rd year which ends in 2022. Re-election is quite doubtful. Well, at least we can say he and hia dad equally served 3 terms!
4) There's news of weather disaster in the South just as we currently have news of weather disaster in Texas.
5) 39:49 - Geraldo straddled his leg up on the rail exposing his crotch directly towards the Women of Motown (such disrespect) is not any different than the harassment of the #metoo & cancel culture that women & Trump experienced in the last 4 years 😂.
6) 11:07 - Producer Gordy pimped his wife out to prostitution....kinda like Epstein exploiting teenage girls.
7) Transparency for AIDS patient records to employers to contain spread of toxic fluids or is it a violation of human rights in the 90's .....as in Transparency of Ellen's working memos in a toxic environment as she violates human rights of her employees as seen last couple of years.
