His interest in movies meant Gordy had less time to pay attention to the music side of Motown. But many of Gordy's established artists were growing restless.
Motown's contract terms often didn't favor artists. Performers could be charged for studio time and most songwriters were hired as employees, therefore not retaining ownership of their work. Gordy defended these terms, as working with Motown opened doors for many people. But that didn't stop some from feeling ill-used. The songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland, responsible for a slew of Motown hits, ruptured with Gordy in leading to lawsuits.
