Producer of R&B/Soul, Rock and Pop
A.k.a. Mike Valvano
White Detroit teen Mike Valvano went to Motown in 1960 with his group the Modifiers, but became far more useful as a behind-the-scenes jack of all trades – studio hand, engineer, acetate cutter, tape op, audition panelist, and eventually a producer and writer. He cut two of his own singles as an artist for Motown, one credited to “Mike & The Modifiers”, the other to “the Hornets”, but ironically his best-known contribution on the fun side of the mic was his foot-stomping on the breakthrough million-seller Where Did Our Love Go
