Indeed they were with five top ten hits, and almost six with “River Deep Mountain High” reaching #11. They easily could have scored more had a more commercial song than “Touch” been released and a...

I tend to agree. The single edit sounds far more polite.

Songs like “So Macho” sound as evergreen today as when first released.:rolleyes:

I’m impressed. Given your youthful years, i thought you were going to think Linda who??.
You may be right about the lack of vocal sophistication not being Supreme enough.
By the same token, i ...

Had the album charted as high as those Diana Ross & Supremes albums mentioned at #28, #31 or #33 i would say that it charted reasonably well. Farewell and Talk Of The Town being live albums released...

Not sure about the lovely Denise Williams, but there was the perfect type voice in pop/soul singer Linda Carr.
Check her out singing the hit “High Wire” on you tube. Vey Dianaish.

Given that Diana would forever cast a long shadow over the group, was it a voice the public ever wanted or even associated with the Supremes.
The material on both HE and MS&S was too notch, but...

Personal and professional are two very vey different things. Are you saying Mary might have enjoyed being beaten and abused as reasons the marriage lasted that long?.
From my experience of wives in...

I think to some degree it was more to do with the sound and style the general public associated with the Supremes. Had Scherrie been lead on “Up The Ladder To The Roof”, i doubt the record would have...

I really like the arrangement, being a lot more interesting than Diana’s. Would have sounded much better with just the female lead. I can sing better than this guy lol.

I disagree brad. I prefer this version, but only just. As it stands, the song hardly set the charts alight, but think Susaye’s lighter, more pop approach might have been better suited for mainstream...

Susaye sounding very Denise Williams on this version of the song. It’s lighter, brighter and kinda more fun than the Scherrie led version which might well have made all the difference. It’s also the...

Sounds like my idea of hell lol.

The thing being, the arrangements are so dissimilar it’s like comparing two separate songs.
I love the youthful exuberance of the Marvin and Tammi version, but also love how Diana turns it into...

It certainly had all the ingredients for another hit, far more so than the sophisticated, but far less commercial “Reach Out I’ll Be There”.
Even if not a big a hit as “Mountain”, at least “These...

It’s a lovely song, that released at another time might have performed well as a single.
A handful of the songs featured on the Thank You album such as “”I Still Believe” and “Tomorrow” might have...

“”Someday” was the perfect song to bow out on, while “Reach Out & Touch” proved just as valuable a song despite it not being a smash.
I really wish Motown had tested the water by releasing deeper...

I enjoy the uplifting “In Your Heart”, but find her voice a little mushy. I wish things had been better for her in 99 so she might have recorded a more uplifting set then the melancholy and slightly...

As Mary has stated many a time, for her it was not about the money, but rather recognition of her worth as an an original group member who had worked so many years to keep the Supremes flame burning....

Mary the schemer, Diana the sainted onlooker who tried so hard to distance herself from it all.
If that were the case, Diana certainly made it easy for Mary to play the victim as you claim.
Mary...

We are talking 2012 my love. I agree, the red frock she wore for Christmas in Vienna was lovely.

That’s disappointing. I’m surprised there is even a need for a Diana Ross character, unless as you say in flashback.

Interesting info on the technicalities of singing background sup.

There is certainly a lot of ground to cover. I hope it’s a good one.

I was getting a bit confused as you didn’t mention lack of radio play when first commenting on a Scherrie lead and how the song was unlikely to hit. All sorted.
