Summary: | Archivist Frances "Fran Heard" Maclin was born on March 31, 1939, in Roanoke, Alabama, but grew up in the same neighborhood as Smokey Robinson and other Motown greats in Detroit, Michigan. She attended Miller High School, graduating in 1956. Maclin began working for Motown Records in 1961 as the record company's first tape librarian, organizing the library and making it a legitimate music archive. Maclin retired from Motown in 1986, after twenty five years. She began working for World of Life Christian Center in Birmingham, Alabama, in charge of the outreach department. In 2009, she published her memoir about her time at Motown, I Remember Motown: When We Were Just Family. |
