Not only did Phil Spector produce his version of Martha's "A Love Like Yours [[Don't Come Knocking Every Day)" on Tina Turner for Philles in 1966, he also produced a duet version on Cher & Nilsson for Warner-Spector in 1974. He must have really loved Martha's version for him to produce it on not one but TWO of his artists! It really is one of Martha's prettiest.

There's a recording unearthed from the vaults in "Unreleased Motown 1968" in which Gladys Knight and the Pips do "Show Me the Way," and they do it really well. A great track which should have been released long ago.

You're welcome, Kenny, and you're right! We both love Motown, yet we seldom agree on which songs we like. Doesn't make much sense, does it! By the same token, we both love Classical Vocal music [[Choral & Opera), yet you love those old Mono Opera recordings while I can't stand 'em. I've gotta have fresh, newer Stereo performances. We're so much alike yet so different. Go figure!
@Gary, don't worry, I still love ya even though you don't have my great taste! LOL!
Motown missed the boat in not releasing this and not just as an album cut. It could have been big as a single!
