All of you Motown fans that pretty much know the story and what went down at Motown. Here's a question. From the early Motortown Revues of the early 60s we know that the Marvelettes and the Contours were very popular acts and were allowed to perform several numbers each during the shows. While the Supremes were allowed one Country flavored number and the Tempts were used as back-ups to Mary Wells. Some would characterized the Marvelettes and the Contours, although very talented, as being a little rough around the edges. Within a few years company priority was given to the Supremes and the Temptations. Would you say they replaced the Marvelettes and the Contours respectively? Thoughts:
