Motown purchased full page ads for Bad Weather in all the trade magazines; I think those ads were running about $7000 a crack in 1970.

Another version of Bad Weather is that after it's release, it just didn't catch fire; the song is hookless and just meanders. And Motown very well saw that by 1973, the group was "out" as out could be; they needed to ditch Pedro, all the fancy dresses and get back in touch with the grass roots and the kids; and they weren't anywhere near close to it.

Perhaps if Syreeta had come in at that time, they dumped Pedro, took on new management, stabilized the members of the group, dropped the glitz and glamour and became a whole look more like the Pointer Sisters and the Emotions ~ they might have had a better chance.
