This article highlights the overlooked contributions of Black women songwriters and producers at Motown Records during the 1960s. While the label was known for its star performers, women like Janie Bradford, Raynoma Gordy Singleton, and Sylvia Moy were instrumental in creating the "Motown sound." Bradford co-wrote Motown's first hit, "Money (That's What I Want)," and later became director of writer's relations. Singleton, Motown's first executive vice president, established the tape library and formed the first female arranger and producer group. Sylvia Moy, the first in-house female songwriter, co-wrote and co-produced Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)" but often lacked producer credit, hindering her career. Valerie Simpson later became the first Black woman to receive full credit as both songwriter and producer at Motown, paving the way for future female creatives.
