As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the ownership of the masters at Motown Records has been a complex issue. Originally founded by Berry Gordy in 1959, the label's catalog has changed hands multiple times over the decades. Currently, the masters are primarily owned by Universal Music Group, which acquired Motown as part of its broader catalog acquisitions. However, specific details about individual artist masters can vary, as some may have retained ownership or negotiated different agreements.
