Keep "You turn me around" and "Can we love again" as the ballads with Mary on lead. It's all been said before, reworked for single release and then He's my Man as second release so at least we have a Mary, Scherrie duet.
I do find that Mary took over on soul train. Scherrie only sang lead, and then only as duet, on He's my man. They should have showcased Scherrie with a strong song that could have taken them back into the charts.
I also wish that Scherrie and Susaye were given more freedom in creativity during their tenure as Supremes. Would they have come up with the same songs they did on their Partners LP?
