Anyone who knows me knows I have a severe MOTOWN fixation. And it don’t get more severe than Suzanne De Passe, my friend for 30 years and with whom I recently shared a burger and much gossip. First Suzanne become Berry Gordy’s top creative assistant when she was 21, then she discovered the Jackson 5, then became President of Motown Productions, then co-wrote Lady Sings The Blues, produced Motown 25, the show that provided the sacred ground upon which Michael Jackson debuted the Moonwalk, and on and on to this very day.
