| In
1969, looking to expand, Motown established branch offices in
New York City and Los Angeles. In 1971, with an eye to the future,
Motown started the Mowest label out of L.A. with signings of
D.J. Tom Clay, Thelma Houston, G.C. Cameron (former lead singer
of the Spinners), The Four Seasons and The Commodores. This
short lived subsidiary was shut down in 1973 when Motown had
finally moved all of it's operations out to the West Coast.
The UK version lasted until 1976. |
