Paul Riser Sr. Donates A Piece of Motown History

Motown alumnus, Paul Riser Sr., Motown musical arranger, composer and trombonist, who was responsible for co-writing and arranging dozens of top ten hit records recently donated an amazing piece of history to the Museum–an original song inventory from Motown’s Artist & Repertoire (A&R) department! This binder was one of the ways Motown kept track of the influx of songs being recorded in Studio A. The inventory includes over 40 Motown artists and their songs–many of which had been recently mastered and released to the public. The producers of the songs are also noted. Thank you, Mr. Riser for this magnificent addition to the Motown Museum archive collection!
