Always respect Bankousedave's opinions butI have never bought the Motown explination. Were the other Beatles replaced except for the lead singer? The Emotions? Destiny;s Child? The other three tops? The rest of the classic Temptations?It would not have been that hard to get Mary and CIndy and Diana in same studio while they were touring. WIthout the distinctive Supreme voices its no wonder many records didnt do well aka Composer, No Matter What Sign..It was a foolish move as it hurt the morale of groups and watered down the sound. The Marvelettes were dormant when their final album created with only Wanda, and Katherine felt so bad she refused to be on the cover. How in the world were Susaye and Scherrie and Mary able to all get in the same studio for their last two albums when they were touring like mad?? Sometimes they were recorded separately but they ALL sang on the record.
