WHEN MOTOWN AND ‘GOLDEN WORLD’ WERE AS ONE

**GOLDEN WORLD and its subsidiaries** were purchased by Berry Gordy in 1966, and folded into Gordy’s Motown Record Corporation. The Golden World studio became Motown’s “Studio B”, working in support of the original Motown recording studio (Studio A) at Hitsville USA. Before its purchase by Gordy, the studio’s recordings often included moonlighting Motown back-up musicians, including James Jamerson on bass and George McGregor, who was the studio percussionist. *(Source: WiKipedia; Golden World Records)*
