valid points and don't necessarily disagree with them. But the Supremes sound and fan base wasn't the heavy "soul" sound like Aretha. it certainly became more r&b with Jean in the group. The group had always been more pop and that was the sound people associated with them. BW was a real departure for them. in the grand scheme of music, no, it's not the most hard-edged r&b songs out there. not by a long shot. But radio stations and fans that were seeking that type of sound, typically would not have looked to the Supremes to provide it.
and you should post a youtube of you whistling Bad Weather! lolololol would love to see that
