Tommy Good - The Motown Collection
It must have been extremely frustrating for a number of the Motown artists who, having been given that golden opportunity to record for the mighty Motown label at Hitsville during the glory years period alongside some of the worlds finest songwriters, producers, and together with the greatest house band ever seen only to find all your efforts were to be in vain as your work fails to dent the US charts and radio stations just don't pick up on your recordings and the company despite its best intentions at the time don't give the artist the same kind of push and exposure that some of the more familiar acts were lucky to enjoy.
Tommy Good appears to fit neatly into that category. A white artist who managed to secure a recording contract with Motown during the middle 1960's after recording a number of tunes as Tommy Good and The Tabs during the early sixties and who was discovered singing in a Detroit nightclub by Motown songwriter/producer Clarence Paul (who worked heavily on Stevie Wonder) who then asked Motown boss Berry Gordy to take a listen to Tommy and he was signed to Berry Gordy's music empire.
