Motown HOF songwriter Mickey Stevenson takes ML, Marc, Shawn, Intern Patrick and Kaleena behind the scenes at Hitsville, U.S.A., while Joe keeps things humming.

THE STRAIGHT DOPE- Motown’s first A&R man Mickey Stevenson – fresh from induction to the Songwriters Hall of Fame – zooms in to tell the crew how Barry Gordy convinced him to work for $5 a day and all the chili he could eat.

Find out what Gordy told Mickey after he auditioned as a singer (spoiler alert: He was brutally frank).

What was it like to work in the same house as Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye and many of the greatest artists you’ve listened to your entire life? Listen and learn from the man who made a lot of it happen.

Mickey tells us how, despite his better judgment, he helped launch Stevie Wonder’s career. It’s one of the most interesting stories ever told on our show!
