Mag 7 - for your love
Touch - here comes the sunrise
Return - I'm glad about it
Dynamite - melody
Floy joy - now the bitter now the sweet
Roundup - 530 plane
Sup 75 - can't stop a girl in love
High energy - high energy

I'm sure you can include the hits as well
Then it's
Ladder
Stoned
River
Nathan
Gotta have love
Melody
Auto sun
530
Can't Stop a girl
Iglmhdtw
Let yourself go
That's a good list too. I see you included the Scherrie Payne years too.Quote:

I'll make my favorites from the Scherrie era soon!
You did a great job Weslley. Thanks!
Three songs? That makes this a bit easier.Quote:

Love It Came to me this time
Tie ...530 Plane/I keep it hid
I just didn't like the Floy Joy album
Luke, do you mean you didn't like any of the singles or that you just did not include the singles in your list?Quote:

I kinda guessed that. They had some really singles out during those years. I really did like all of them when I think about it now. I liked some more than others, but I definitely liked each single release in the 70s.Quote:

Their material in the 70s was not only more complex, it was also decidedly more soulful than "Diana Ross & the Supremes".Quote:

Album tracks only

Gordy Hunk, everyone one you listed was a winner in my opinion. Nothing from "Dynamite" stood out to you?Quote:

Touch is my fav Jean LP... too hard for one choice...every cut makes this my pers. fav..so its everything that wasn't a single.. except Time and Love...I hate that song by everyone, [[ditto Love The One You're With) but composer Laura Nyro's is tolerable.
Over and Over
5.30 Plane...not fond of anything other than 5.30 Plane and IGITM...both are among my all time fav./ any grouping cuts....Jean Terrell just nails it and owns it....feeling that way having the one song follow the next on this LP was a great convenience for me. No "Tone Arm hoping" necessary
as for the duet LPS...I didn't give them much play. I was just discovering non top 40 car radio AM rock, and there was too much other stuff I was being newly introduced to and would rather hear at the time...[[Please don't tell Jean she periodically took a back seat to Grace Slick) but loved the beautiful version of cringe worthy over recorded mega pop hit "If"..it was another Terrell showcase and remains the benchmark version for me, Melodie, I Wonder Where We're Going and Knock on My Door
Not counting singles:
Right On: Bill, When Are You Coming Back
New Ways, But Love Stays: It's Time To Break Down
Touch: This Is the Story
Promises Kept: Never Can Say Goodbye
Floy Joy: A Heart Like Mine
Produced & Arranged by Jimmy Webb: 5:30 Plane
I haven't listened to The Supremes' albums with the Four Tops enough to have favorite tracks. I do like their cover of "Love the One You're With".
Great choices Gman and Thornton!
right on....but I live you more...up the ladder to the roof.
New ways.....time to break down
Shine on me
Touch....here comes the sunrise....live it came to me this time
Floy joy....now the bitter now the sweet....over and over
I see You Move Me made a few folks lists...I love Jean, but this one is one of her most "shrill" vocals. I actually like Then I Met You a lot.
I loved Right On...like the '75 LP it was a bit of a mixed bag and I liked the diversity.
