There were a couple of reasons- Money, Location and Berry Gordy's desire to get into movies. Though many of the long time musicians remained in Detroit, the Motown sound was already waning in the minds of the younger generation. Disco was hot, Break dancing was evolving into hiphop, and the love/romance and R&B crooning formula was on it's way out (business wise).
L.A. brought a new genre to The Motown Sound, but the market was getting broader and times were changing. Enter Jackson 5, Commodores, Hi-Inergy.
