    Here’s the link to Kim Weston’s version of “Your Wonderful Sweet, Sweet Love.” A little punchier, no? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sokhUiLNHE

    Martha did a great job on “Wild Night.” Van Morrison, who wrote the song, had a Top 30 hit with it in 1971. Both versions are top notch. Martha’s entire album is terrific. It should have been a...

    Holland-Dozier had the smarts to change up the arrangement for Chris Clark. It suits her jazzy style very well. Nella Dodds’ vocals were pretty good on her version but the instrumentation doesn’t...

    “Selfish One” hit it big in the summer of 1964 but it was recorded by Jackie Ross. Fontella Bass’s smash was “Rescue Me” in the fall of 1965. Neither artist sounded like Mary Wells but “Selfish...

    My favorite Junior Walker recording by a mile. One of my favorite Motown recordings hands down; maybe #1 on my list. What a rocker!

    Would the song’s success have been any greater [[than #22 Billboard Pop) if it was recorded with the Vandellas in the background instead?

    Now that makes perfect sense, bradsupremes! “These Things...” always sounded like a Supremes song to me. And it certainly seemed out of place on Diana’s first solo album.

    If this has been discussed in the past, my bad.

    “Mind, Body and Soul” was written by Dunbar and Wayne [[the latter being H-D-H) and published by H-D-H’s Gold Forever company. It is not,...

    I’d say that one of her best is “I Can’t Give Back The Love I Feel For You.” A very strong performance.

    The “live" version, with Mary, Cindy and Scherrie, imho, is one of the best performances given by any version of the Supremes. It really gave each member the opportunity to shine.

    “Live Wire” killed the momentum for Martha & The Vandellas. It was too much in the mold of “Heat Wave” but not nearly as good as it or “Quicksand.” It also jinxed “In My Lonely Room” which was much...

    Yes, reese, the early fade out sort of kills the production. I wonder why that wasn’t corrected.
