Come To Me was what Berry Gordy intended as the very first release on Tamla Records, his start-up company in Detroit, but initially, he needed money to pay for its making. He didn't possess enough cash himself, having recently received a derisory $3.19 as all-in royalties for recordings by the Miracles that he had previously leased to an independent New York label. Moreover, Gordy was no longer writing songs for Jackie Wilson, the catalyst for his first significant success in the music business. • He had hustled around town to raise $1,000 to pay for the recording, pressing and distribution costs of Tamla 101, but didn't like the obligations which came with any such loan. The 29-year-old's final option was the Gordy family's savings fund, known as the Ber-Berry Co-Op, and so on January 12, 1959, he made the pitch to his kin, seated around the dining table of his parents' home. The positive outcome is among the best-known business deals in music history, although the loan was trimmed to $800 to satisfy some family members' slight reservations. • Watch more of The Motown Story: • The Motown Story: Berry Gordy • It’s been 60 years since the son of a plasterer, Berry Gordy Jr., began building what grew into an astonishing hit factory and the most-recognized record company of the 20th century. He did this in America's heartland, away from its traditional music capitals, but the iconic map of Detroit printed in the center of almost every Motown 45 was more than a lesson in geography. The music and artists associated with that city and that company have entertained and empowered millions of people around the world, and have influenced the sound of popular music ever since.
