    I've never heard the hit in "It's All Been Said Before" that so many hear. It's a nice song, but it has never done anything for me. Like previously said, the intro to "He's My Man," grabs you...

    If I'm not mistaken, I think this arrangement was later used in the 60s medley with Scherrie. Or at least a very similar one was used.

    As much as I love Jimmy Webb, the album's failure really falls on him. The song selection, arrangements, having Jean sing in keys that made her sound shrill, etc. It's hard to blame Motown for not...

    Most likely they were able to tolerate and handle Otis. Others may not have been so willing to go along with or put up with Otis’ direction. That’s not to say this is solely about Otis, but the...

    Diana needed the Supremes to develop her craft. As others have discussed, there's no way she would have been a soloist right off the bat and been successful. If she was really determined, I'm sure...

    Anyone else find it weird they start the song midway through? Diana doesn't sing the first two verses. When Mary and Cindy join her, she starts singing the third verse which is odd to me.

    There...

    This was a time in Cindy's life where she was financially strained so buying a new dress probably wasn't in her expenses. And for a event of this magnitude she probably didn't have something that was...

    Has anyone ever confirmed where this supposed dress code came from? I've heard it mentioned several times, but no one has ever said who came up with it. Was this something one of the producers said?...

    Yes, she wore the black dress that she wore on The Black Stage when she performed "You Danced My Heart Around The Stars." Cindy wore a simple black dress too. I always thought the white dress she...

    Plus for a least a solid decade after The Supremes disbanded, she continued to wear Supremes gowns and even had her background singers wear them too. Sometimes all three would match like in the photo...

    I think there is a mistake on DFTMC for this. The track was cut in Detroit with the Funk Brothers on June 13, 1969 and I believe it was intended for Junior Walker. All of the other recording info is...

    I will never understand why Mary for the longest time included her background singers in her publicity photos. Even well into the early 2000s she had them included. It was a big mistake on her part...

    It's only the Supremes on Sam Cooke. The Andantes were added to several tracks on Country Western & Pop like "Baby Doll," but not every track.

    It is just Mary and Flo on "Shake."

    "Whisper You Love Me Boy" is a double tracked background - two sets of vocals from Mary and Flo which is making it sound like there are other voices.

    This is what I don't get about Gordy. He loved "Love Child," but apparently hated "Stoned Love." One is a song about a girl born out of wedlock afraid of repeating the same mistake and the other is...

    "If You Let Me" is a standout track for me that could have done really well as a single, but I doubt Motown would have released a single with Lawrence on lead.
