Very nice guys
These were years of a lot of country influence too - Charlie Rich, Crystal Gayle, Olivia
I think there is a mix of IABSB that could have been a hit - but there were clearer mixes that wouldn’t...
Thanks - I have a memory of one of them in a black dress with a solid backing group probably singing Postman??
Me either Mary but that’s because we are old not because they are unknown
Sorry
Didn’t one of them get a moment on Motown 30 or 40?
Berry and Claudette and Smokey were there with Martha in an oversized hat - looking very happy
I thought Jean did a nice job and Scherrie does too. It’s one of the Diana songs that other singers can hope to hold a candle to - but the Diana led version is by far the best one
To me, it clearly should have been Its All Been Said Before - He’s my Man lacks the hooks that catch the listener -it’s lots of bluster and got some dance play but that didn’t turn into sales. It...
I don’t know the answer but half of these songs were really good and half were awful. I did not enjoy HMM, EML, TIWIBIY, and YTMA. But the other cuts on the album made me think the supremes had a...
Didn’t Motown 40 have one Marvelette singing a song backed by a strong group of backup singers - I remember reading she was not in good shape but I don’t recall which one it was

From reading Will You Love Me Tomorrow, I think even by 1983, the Marvelettes could have only been attendees not performers - the girl groups outside of the Supremes and setting Florence aside, all...
I would venture a guess and say this is the kind of thing that happens when the hit making days are ending or over - AS barely scraped the Pop Top 40 and the Supremes and Motown had probably given up...
What does it mean - “I found a lot of Motown’s promotion department over this” and “We had a lot of feelings for the JW album’?

Marvin Eddie and What Became the Legend Most?
A fair bit of criticism here which surprised me.
Sadly, most of this grouping was gone within a year which meant the whole group sound was going to change. And they went silent for too long after...
No - he said we’s giving the fur to Eddie.
MeTV just had Ed Sullivan with the Supremes singing Forever Came Today and the Fats Waller Medley -it’s of 3 part harmony - they were pretty good
What did you miss?? Well Diana got steak tartare and sent it back to be cooked.
I agree - I was going to say something about them but I don’t know much about their clothes.
Did they ever wear these again? How long after this were Jean and Lynda gone? Who went first? Such a...
That was surprisingly good - often the medleys are awful but this wasn’t. Where Did Our Love Go can be hard to sing live without sounding really tinny but this is good. Tossin and Turning is also...

Most of these groups have a similar history to the Vandellas - fractured relationships or non existent ones. Often addiction to drugs or alcohol, abusive relationships, financially destitute, and...
