What Motown Acts Deserve Biopics?

Most of the major Motown acts are worthy of a movie. Mary Wilson's autobiography "Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme" was very successful. I thought I heard that was going to be a movie, but that hasn't happened yet. The Four Tops went from 1953 until 1997 without a change in personnel. I heard they were as close as brothers. So there might not be enough drama for a movie. There was a TV miniseries about the Jackson 5. Michael Jackson remains a controversial figure. I think TV movies and miniseries might dilute the prospects of a theatrical movie. Gladys Knight & The Pips had their greatest success after leaving Motown. The late Billy Preston had his share of heartaches. Teena Marie had an interesting life. So did Mary Wells. There was a good VH1 Behind The Music about the late Rick James. I don't know if there is enough drama for a Stevie Wonder movie. The same goes for Lionel Ritchie. The history of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles might make a good movie. The story of MARVIN GAYE needs to be told. The life of Tammi Terrell might make a good movie. But that could be incorporated into a Marvin Gaye biopic because they worked together and were very close.
