OK we've got a "DISCO" sighting here .....




Now the book is more or less chronological so we're just now exiting the sixties and getting ready to move on into the seventies when during a brief
synopsis of The Temptations break-ups (departing members)

Berry Gordy says this:

Page 254-255


This was not the last time the Temptations lineup would change . Years later Eddie Kendricks decided to follow a solo career staying with the company. Working with producers Frank Wison and Leonard Caston he conquered the seventies DISCO market with hits like "KEEP ON TRUCKIN'" and "BOOGIE DOWN. "

Being an entrepreneur the way I was - having a hand in everything at my company - had always worked for me . But looking back , I can see it was around this time , in the mid-seventies , that it started working against me.

The chain of command was fuzzy since everybody knew only one real boss -me . And their boss had a major preoccupation -making his second movie -
