chris clark was there pretty early on, as for recording, not until mid-60's. foxed me a bit as id forgotten about debbie dean, yes, she did cut some stuff early doors so, thats probably the right order.....however, no doubt about ms. dee, great voice and deserving of the opportunity that came her way. dont forget susan schumaker as well!!. on the subject of groups, i would have thought mike and the modifiers would have qualified as first white group.

pretty neat pictures and wonder if we can get a whole list of white artists on Motown, R Dean Taylor must have been one of the white males on Motown

Debbie Dean was the first white artist/woman on Motown. Her debut single for the company was # 1007, "Don't Let Him Shop Around", in 1960.

The Valadiers apparently think they were first...  :D

yes, they are the first white vocal group on Motown. Nick & the Jaguars are the first white artists of any kind however

that bio on the Valadiers page is a bit dodgy - "It all started back in 1959 ... At the time Motown was considered one of the most successful independent recording companies existing." - not in 1959 it wasn't!

Did you not read my posting that confirmed that - per your question - Debbie Dean was the first white woman to be signed to Motown - as a singer and songwriter - in 1960, then?

Was my wording not clear enough to understand?

Didn't she look white enough to you in 123-Motown's excellent pic sleeve of one of her early Motown 45s?

What's the point of posting accurate information up here if you choose to ignore it?

I don't know why I fcuking bother sometimes...:D

Oh, yes, very funny - who writes your scripts, Patrick Kielty?

The bloke posted up for some information, I posted up the correct information, he's chosen to ignore it and is still asking the same question.

Unless you're him under another name, I suggest you go and peddle your pearls of wisdom on another thread, you've added nothing to this one...
