>... how did the Motown groups record the group harmonies -- one mic or
several?
I preferred one and sometimes another over their heads feeding the 
chamber. Cal Harris, my mentor, always did separate but the rest of us 
stuck with single. (Cal had started out at Western Recorders and Gold Star 
in LA recording the Beach Boys vocal overdubs among others.)
Before we went to cans in '65, I understand people gathered around the 
mike listening to the band track on the A-7 playback speaker.
