Dream compilation - The Florence and Mary Leads
Not sure if this idea has ever popped up around here, but I've ben thinking of all the Supremes compilations and reissues that have popped up over the years, one I would love to see is one that compiles all of the [[or the best of the) tracks featuring Florence and/or Mary on lead, either as solo leads or group leads, between 1960-1969.
I've compiled a potential track list of 20 tracks, in order from the era in which they were recorded. I am excluding tracks in which Diana is the primary lead with Mary or Flo adding in minor solo featurettes [["Let Me Go the Right Way," "Manhattan," "Fancy Passes," etc.).
Here's the challenge: if you had to narrow it down to a typical 10-track LP, which ones would you select?
1. After All [[Mary, Florence, Diana)
2. Buttered Popcorn [[Florence)
3. Save Me a Star [[Florence)
4. Hey Baby [[Florence)
5. Heavenly Father [[Florence)
6. Baby Don't Go [[Mary)
7. I Saw Him Standing There [[Florence)
8. It Makes No Difference Now [[Mary, Florence, Diana)
9. [[Ain't That) Good News [[Florence)
10. People [[Florence)
11. Our Day Will Come [[Mary)
12. Silent Night [[Florence)
13. O Holy Night [[Florence)
14. The Christmas Song [[Merry Christmas to You) [Mary]
15. Come and Get These Memories [[Mary)
16. People [[Live at the Roostertail, 1966) [Florence, Mary]
17. Falling in Love with Love [[Diana, Mary)
18. The Ballad of Davy Crockett [[Mary, Florence)
19. Can't Take My Eyes Off You [[solo version) [Mary]
20. Son of a Preacher Man [[Mary)
