Women of Motown (Avon)
“What distinguishes this series is the way the artists' recollections drive the stories, not vice versa. Whitall's Women of Motown in particular uses this with great effectiveness, letting the individual voices of not only singers like Mary Wells and Martha Reeves but out-of-the spotlight vocalists such as Claudette Robinson, Brenda Holloway, and Mable John paint the colors of the music, which was hardly black and white."
--Margaret Moser, the Austin Chronicle

Women of Motown (Avon)
"Women of Motown digs beneath the veneer of the Motown publicity machine..."
--Scott Westerman, keener13.com

“...Motown buffs will relish hearing a few more voices add to the lore: the rise and drawn-out demise of Mary Wells; on the road with Diana Ross; the sequined dresses; the rivalries, the romances; the summer 'Dancing in the Street' was banned in some cities for inciting riots.”
--Paige Smoron, The Chicago Sun-Times
