Mary's "diary" has many other inaccuracies, it's not hard to put this in that category.
I just played it again - I really think it's The Andantes. And i don't think it was a good initial single for Ross. It got some play after ANMHE dropped and there was no follow-up - and it sounded pretty good - maybe top ten good - but only on the strength of it's predecessor. By the time Remember Me came out [[2 months later) the momentum was gone and JMC had 2 songs climbing the top 10 & 20 at the same time. Motown seemed very hesitant to have both acts on the chart at the same time - to the detriment of both, I might add.
