There’s an old saying, “Behind every great man is a great woman.”. If true, in the case of Berry Gordy, founder and chief architect of Motown Records and the Motown Sound, four phenomenal women stood behind him – his sisters Esther, Anna, Loucye, and Gwen. The Gordy sisters not only stood behind their brother but also next to him and sometimes in front of the man to help put Motown Records on the world’s music map in 1959.
