Getting back on topic, I think perhaps the biggest reason is that the Supremes were entertainers, not musicians. When you look at their contemporaries: The Beatles, Elvis, The Rolling Stones; these artists wrote [[and produced) their own music. The Supremes were just "the voice" for HDH, and others. I don't know what Diana or Mary could add; in many cases the vocals were laid down seperate from one another; a far cry from the early days when they were bunched up in a recording booth. And truth told, if neither Supreme can ever remember the YEAR a record was released, there's little doubt they can remember much about a session.

What would be interesting, although it wouldn't span the Supremes whole career, is a "hit by hit" guide from HDH. The stories behind the songs. Put to rest the rumors of: was Kim Weston REALLY originally intended for "Dancing in the Street"? How did "Pay Back" [[working title) eventually become "You Keep me Hangin' On"? Was there a real "Bernadette"?
