    Tony Newton has definitely outdone himself. His movie documentary "Groovemonster" really gives the listening audience a thorough understanding of the contrast between the movie "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", and Tony's Movie "Groovemonster".

    It's a must see movie if you have any love for the history of Motown.
