Follow-Ups That Should Have Been Bigger

Tom I have to agree with you again on both counts, that bit with The Miracles does do it. And yes Something's Wrong was another missed opportunity.

Thanks McMotown. We should mention what a clever and wonderfully-written song "From Head To Toe" is... of course both versions were written and produced by Smokey himself!

"Something's Wrong" is a stone cold killer... a rollicking Northern Soul floorfiller... a pounding non-stop thriller... I just love it!

BTW I believe Chris re-recorded "From Head To Love" for Ian Levine and his Motorcity Records label... and that version ain't half bad either, especially Chris' vocal... :)

Tom I'll check that out. Yes Chris has great vocals. Her, Tammi and Gladys were the top female vocalist for me.

Yes indeed, you don't get any better than Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight! :)

I agree. It's, by far, my favourite Supremes track.

It is so utterly, utterly fantastic!! But what would you follow it up with? I believe Motown went with "Touch", which is very nice but not a hit IMO. Especially after the feisty and funky "Nathan Jones"...! :)

I think I'm in the minority on Nathan. It's not a bad song, it just doesn't do anything for me. If I were going to choose a song from the album other than "Touch" to follow Nathan up, it might be "Here Comes the Sunrise". If the decision was going to be made to swing right into Promises Kept after "Nathan Jones", I would have either chosen "Tears Left Over" or "Take Your Dreams Back".

Oh, no, not this again, RanRan! More musical disagreements, eh? Sigh... lol

I agree on your other points though; "Here Comes The Sunrise" is great, and, oh, my, I just LOVE "Take Your Dreams Back"... can't believe it wasn't even released. It's funky and has a great, catchy hook!

Hey, we can't dig all of the same stuff. Lol Yes, "Sunrise" is fantastic. I think it may have captured the public's attention more than "Touch". "Take Your Dreams Back" is so good. I really think it had what it took to be a hit.
