A recent thread reply from Rovereab mentioned Smokey Robinson & the Miracles/[[COME 'ROUND HERE) I'M THE ONE YOU NEED seeming to be more suited to THE FOUR TOPS or THE ISLEY BROS. And I have to say I completely agree--I think it's a terrific recording just as is but it always struck me as sounding written, perhaps, with The Tops or Isleys in mind.
I feel the same way about Martha & the Vandellas/I'M READY FOR LOVE--a sensational recording just as is but whenever I hear it, I can't help thinking that it sounds like something that must have been written for The Supremes.
I know HDH material was often assigned to one artist or group and ultimately released by another. So my survey questions here are:
What HDH tunes do you think sound just right for a particular artist or group but were released with someone else? Any other HDH tunes that you know of that were specifically re-assigned from one to another?
Thank you.
