How Motown slipped my mind completely I don't understand but yes you're right, but I wasn't under the impression that at Tin Pan Alley the songwriters did the production themselves. That said, I hadn't done much research into that era of recording.
There wasn't really production back then, as that stuff was usually cut live to two track, then the vocals overdubbed. But the song writers were also the arrangers in many cases.
