If Gordy hated Jean for having the audacious nerve of not desiring him enuff to can her, surely years later he had little interest in their having any further success. So MAYBE , he...

The saga that just keeps giving. Perhaps Stevie and perhaps with encouragement by others of the highest rank determined not to waste these latest numbers on The wayward Supremes so he made the move...

That’d make for a whole nother topic to explore : At Motown, who’s zooming who ??

It’s becoming clear [to me ] that this is her best post Motown song.
She seems to be really enjoying it here.

WOW
This certainly supplies the missing piece to this puzzle. Makes sense out of something that didn’t.

The story would make a bit more sense If choosing one over the other had been an ongoing neck to neck decision all along.

And what could Jean do that first night that could be so egregious ? Did...

Yes Berry suddenly pulled Syreeta’s name out a hat ? How long was the Sipremes transition plan in the process? There had been plenty of time to vet her, yet I’ve yet to hear she was. Surely a logical...

He made the world a better place. What a legacy.

Aw shucks. Class act. RIP Olivia Newton-John

and I like to eat !! :cool:

Maybe even a bit of reverse psychology thrown in ..... making Mary embrace Jean by having her defend her preference for her. Who knows maybe Mary and Syreeta...

Very good Sup. OR as i hinted at in the first post, Berry now saw in Jean more than he'd bargained for, and saw real potential there for a group he'd easier wash his hands of....not really a part of...

I somehow find the whole last minute desire by Berry Gordy to switch to Syreeta to be suspect. Hadn't Jean been "groomed" for the transition? What happened at the last second to change his mind??...

Very cool !! I didn’t know the Royal Hawaiian had a showroom, I thought they did shows outside. Was it a dinner show ??
one night only ??

I think that's right, although that finally caught up with her in the eighties.

This song sounds kind of contrived lyrically , sometimes you can tell when a songwriter is just exercising his...

this one I find nothing short of fantastic!!:cool:

Berry Gordy speaks highly of her voice too in his autobiography…. but nothing about preferring her as a Supreme .
Can you give a particular recording or two you recommend ? Let’s bring ‘em forth...

Or maybe it’s what he didn’t see ….
After listening to her rendition of REFLECTIONS in another thread, I was sort of struck by how nondescript she comes across.
