Fan Survey
I sent out an email question to people I know who were fans of Motown during its early years. This included the invitation to forward the survey to others who might want to respond to it. I have only recieved one response so far.
Responses:
For reference, of if you wish to take the survey, here is the set of questions:
1) Tell me a little bit about yourself--some brief bibliographic information.
2) How were you introduced to Motown?
3) What drew you to Motown? What do you think drew Motown fans of your demographic to the company and its sound?
4) How concious were you of Detroit as the birthplace of Motown? Did you have an idea of Detroit in your head, and do you think it affected your interest in and purchase of Motown Records?
5) Did Motown adversiting and P.R. reach you? To what extent? How do you
think it affected you?
6) How did you react when Motown moved to LA in 1972?
7) How did your pre-1972 interest in Motown compare to your post-1972
interest? Did your interest change?
8) Did the Motown Sound change post-1972?
9) Anything else I should know about your--or general fan--interest in Motown?
