Ok supremes nation[hi miss roberta]this one is for you,now we all know that[where did our love go]was turned down by the marvelettes, now there was another song written with the marvelettes in mind that was given to the supremes,name it and who gave it to them?

[nabob]

Shot in the dark: Smokey Robinson Your Heart Belong to Me. This always sounded like a Mary Wells song more than the Supremes.

[arr&bee]

Nope, smokey had nothing to do with this one.

[arr&bee]

Nope, i'm kinda surprised that with all the supremes fanatics here someone hasn't gotten it.

[westgrandboulevard]

Buttered Popcorn, via Berry Gordy/Barney Ales - ?

[Methuselah2]

Is it I WANT A GUY?
[[Ended up recorded by The Marvelettes, as well.)

[arr&bee]

Nope,wow i'm surprised that it's taking this long.

[Methuselah2]

Baby Love?

[captainjames]

Could be a number of songs as they were switch around a bit like "After All" or even "Someday We'll be Together"

[nabob]

Nope, smokey had nothing to do with this one.

Second shot in the dark: H-D-H When the Lovelight Starts Shinning sounds like something the Vandellas would have recorded.

[arr&bee]

You got it,nabob brian holland gave it to the supremes to help jumpstart thier career.

[luke]

Can sure hear Martha singing it.

[arr&bee]

Funny thing is that berry didn't[order]this one to be given to them,brian just thought it world help them and it did at the time.

Interesting how we all can hear Martha singing "Lovelight," but apparently it was originally written with The Marvelettes in mind. Can anyone "hear" Gladys Horton singing the tune? I think I can...but not sure if I'd hear it as a single by them, though!

Ok supremes nation[hi miss roberta]this one is for you. . .

The hat tip to Roberta should have been the give away.

So "Lovelight" originally had the Marvelettes doing it, then in the key of Martha Reeves but one of the HDH members decided the Supremes needed a sizzler and gave them that to start them off... what a doozy...lol I always thought the song was meant to be for the Vandellas, it was strikingly similar to Heatwave.

[westgrandboulevard]

......also, "When The Lovelight..." is similar and recorded around same time as Mary Wells' "You Lost The Sweetest Boy".....so it's yet another of those 'could have been' releases for several acts

Out of curiosity, can you provide the source of this information? Is there an interview or link somewhere?

[westgrandboulevard]

My thoughts entirely, Mary.

It's been 50 years. While I don't automatically doubt what Arr&bee says, equally I've never heard of it before.

There is so much I don't know, and a great deal of information to be learned which is of interest, but I do need firm authenticated evidence, to separate the facts from hearsay or conjecture.

[arr&bee]

If i give up my sources, i can't ask these wonderful questions...and no i'm not making this stuff up, it's documented whether true or not i don't know,but it's documented...bye bye!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

"Whether true or not, I don't know..."

Hmmmmm...........

[arr&bee]

WEST,YOU'RE A SKEPTIC...no I would never make up stuff dealing with the history of the music it's from a source I just ain't sayin which ones.

[Methuselah2]

Well, then, let's play GUESS THE SOURCE.

My guess: Shantel Baker.

[westgrandboulevard]

Arr&bee's best customer for his hooch.

[arr&bee]

No far west, you got methuselah on the case, as brilliant as he is my goose might get cooked.

[westgrandboulevard]

And it's all far too late for Shantel, I fear....

[Methuselah2]

Dinner is served!

[westgrandboulevard]

Just don't ask what went in it.....

[Methuselah2]

I won't, WGB. I'm mum as an oyster.

[arr&bee]

Be careful west....greasy grady reads this stuff!!

[westgrandboulevard]

I've read his menus. He can't write, so he can't read.

Good luck Greasy....wherever you are......

[arr&bee]

He might be over in the[clubhouse]preparing our lunch...[gulp]!!!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Then let's go and give him something we prepared earlier.
