The group or the song?
For me, it would have been the group but I think blueskies means the song...I remember the
first time I saw that performance too many years ago to count, I thought how good they sounded but how too close they were to The Emotions sound with this track...I thought other things too but they don't involve music:).....or maybe they do....
Actually, Kamasu, both. Why, whatever do you mean, Splanky?:rolleyes:Quote:

The only digital disc you can find by the group is an import, which is selling for close to $50.00. I had forgotten the late Frank Wilson PRODUCED It Must be Love. Allegedly, Alton was considered as a replacement for Jean Terrell in the Supremes.
No she wasn't. Alton McClain was considered a potential replacement for Mary Wilson in the summer of 1977.Quote:

Do we mean as in back to "no hit Supremes"? So an Alton McLain or Destiny would have been a good fit?
Nothing much from the mid 70's group wise seemed to stick or last.
Yeah, If she had joined, I feel it would not have made any difference to Alton McClain's or the Supremes' fortunes at that time. But that's just my opinion.
Well said, to the earlier poster . Kamasu jr
No it means "No Hits Diana Ross" for last 28 years!!!! LOL!!!Quote:
