He did however redeem himself by putting his own "Money" in the track listing. Cha-ching!
Playing producer, if you could have the girls cover any two Motown cuts, fit for A Go Go, to replace the two non Motown cuts Mary mentions above, what might they be? You can also choose among any shelved Motown covers recorded in time for the album.
I think I'd go with "Nowhere To Run" with Flo on lead and "Too Many Fish In the Sea" with Diana. I also think a more uptempo "How Sweet It Is" might have been interesting. Probably 4 Tops overkill, but the group doing "Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever" would've been nice too.
