I definitely thought she sounded different. I think I was 12 at the time. To me, the voice had an exaggerated forced quality, almost like a Mae West impersonation. Of course, being 12 and unfamiliar with what shenanigans could be going on, you're right, it never crossed my mind that it might not be Tammi singing. But of course I was still years away from even ever hearing about the Andantes!
And even back then it was obvious to me that on a couple tracks they were just Tammi solo vocals with Marvin's voice added.
Midnight Johnny is right, a good listen to the LP is quite revealing.
