I can't speak about how the Beatles achieved super-status, but I can about how Berry Gordy took neighborhood kids, like Diana Ross, Mary Wells and Smokey Robinson and made them into superstars. I can speak with authority about this because I was there, as a wet-behind-the-ears 17 year old recording technician when it started happening.
