Detroit67 is the story of the city of Detroit in the most dramatic and creative year in its history. It is the story of Motown, the breakup of The Supremes and the implosion of the most successful African-American record label ever, set against a backdrop of urban riots, escalating war in Vietnam and police corruption. The book weaves through the year as counterculture arrives in Detroit and the city's other famous group the proto-punk band MC5 go to war with mainstream America. The year ends in intense legal warfare as the threads that bind Detroit together unravel and leave a chaos that scars the city for decades to come.

I was very familiar with what was going on at that time. There were multiple instances of wrong street names, confusing 12th Street & 14th Street at one point. Identifying the Sheraton Cadillac as the Sheraton Chrysler. One of the characters in the book was described as living next to the Hamtramck Poletown Assembly Plant when it wouldn't be built for another 15 years. Claiming Jimi Hendrix burned an American flag when it was actually his guitar. Hendrix never burned an American flag. Numerous grammatical mistakes. Cosgrove seemed to try to fit events into 1967 that were from later years. Much of the material on the MC5 was from 1968 & later. John Sinclair was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 1969 and the Free John Sinclair show in Ann Arbor with John Lennon didn't happen until Dec. 1971. Timeline for some of the events of the riot were not correct. I would often have to put the book down as it made me so angry with the mistakes. It's very obvious that Cosgrove's Detroit is only one that he read about. I doubt whether he ever set foot in the city.

By Iain Peter Black I really am enthusiastic about the subject and read the text with interest and frequent enjoyment and it sent me back again and again to listen to the music which is always a good sign. However I cannot think of any book I have read which is so crying out for a decent editor and a proof reader. Did no one perform either or both of these essential tasks? I cannot comment on the accuracy of the information in the text as a previous reader has but really the amount of needless repetition of facts/information became really, really irritating. There were frequent typographical errors, extra letters, wrong words etc, which too often made the text read like something poorly translated from another language! And as for the punctuation... such frequent use of the comma splice made comprehension rather difficult at times. When a full stop to end a sentence properly is required then that's what is used, not a series of commas. Detroit 67 is so clearly a labour of love on Stuart Cosgrove's part that one has to wonder what went on that resulted in the publication of this terrible mess of a book.

An enthalling and informative look at the beginning of the end of the Motown dynasty By Al Abrams If you think everything informative about the Motown Sound has already been written and published, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Scottish journalist Stuart Cosgrove here presents a fresh take on the configuration of events that involved the record label with the fate of its home town. This was the year of the deadly Detroit riots and it also saw the emergence of counter-culture musical genres in Detroit. Motown, the label, was in as great a state of turmoil as was the city. National media were quick to recognize the emergence in Memphis of the distinctive soul sound of Stax/Volt Records and major newspapers such as the Chicago Daily News now heralded the "Memphis Sound" as they once had extolled the musical virtues of Motown. This is a great read and a welcome addition to anyone's Motown bookshelf. Highly recommended!
