B-Side: Conversations with a Motown Engineer

Bret Miller

Lifelong Detroiter Steve Smith walks us through his life and career working for Motown Records, including mixing Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going On?' when he was just nineteen years old. Now, as his sense of sight fades, his love for music only grows stronger.
