Motown had a few disputes. IIRC, either Little Richard or James Brown had a massive suit against them not too long ago over issues in the 60's. Details fuzzy.

No, I wasn't involved, but read about them.
I was actually frightened to read about the image factories controlling how much somebody weighs and enforcing it by starving them to maintain the projected image.
And some, but not all, of the so called hospitalisations due to complications from anorexia has nothing to do with anorexia, and everything to do with how the image factories force people to lose weight at any cost and keep a certain image that the company wants to sell.
Add to this arm twisting for abortions, intentional drug addiction to maintain control, and practical brainwashing of some artists to keep them on a short leash... The whole industry sickens me.
And I was reading about MoTown a few weeks ago, and how they tried to "whitebread" their artists. Straighten their hair and bleach their skin a bit to make them appeal to the white folks, who had more disposable income.
Made me start wondering about Michael Jackson. He started off as a young black boy with MoTown, and wound up being an old white woman.
Sick.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
