Early on in Motown records history, Barry Gordy hired a lady named Maxine Powell to teach the singers class, style and refinement.

It obviously worked. Motown singers more often than not seemed the epitome of class

The Obama girl is not the only one who needs such lessons.

Here’s Maxine Powell’s Obit. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/10/14/obit-maxine-powell-motown/2982505/

Our young women need more like Maxine!! There may be a market for “finishing schools”. Those young women would be light years ahead of what is out there now.
