    I thought Susaye was phenomenal when I saw the ladies at Catalina Jazz Club in February 2023. Never missed a lyric and her voice was as strong as ever. I do wish I could have been there to see Lynda...

    I'm thinking it would have also been one of their first appearances as an official lineup since Jean was out in May. Maybe that's why there's a freshness to the performance?

    I think it was a catch 22 doing the 60s hits. I've heard people say they should have updated the songs, but I've also seen many posts criticizing Jean for straying to far from the original songs. To...

    I think they look and sound amazing. Interview shows the tensions in the group, but the performance was excellent. I liked how they slowed down the medley. Jean seems to be enjoying herself. Nice to...

    I love "Mr. Misery." Claudette recorded some great songs. I would love to see footage of her performing live with the group. She was an integral part of their sound.

    When I saw Mary live in the summer of 2003, she was billed as Mary Wilson & The Supremes.

    I love this album too. I wish The Supremes had done an album like it. So much great music from Invictus/Hot Wax. I wish their music was available on Spotify to expose new fans. I have to imagine it's...

    That's wonderful! I so wish I could have been there, especially since Lynda was there. I had a great time when I saw them last year, but it's not super convenient to fly from Chicago to LA for a...

    This has always been my take as well. I think T.C.B., Join The Temptations, and The Magnificent Seven would have been enough. Maybe G.I.T. since it was also a TV special.

    As far as DRATS,...

    I was lucky enough to see her perform at an outdoor concert in Lisle, IL during the summer of 2003. She opened the show with "Love Child" and was wearing a red gown with gloves. I remember it was...

    Very well said, Roberta!

    As for Mary, her voice continued to improve with age, IMO.

    I had the best time when I saw them perform there last year. I would gladly go again if I were in the area. The sound quality from their YouTube videos really doesn't do them justice. I also got to...

    This is why I love these discussions; we all have our own ideal album in mind. I do agree that Life Beats would have fit well on New Ways.

    I always preferred the live version of this song for the fact that Mary and Cindy had their own lines. Jean's vocal on the GH&RC version is also better than what was released in my opinion.

    I love the 45 version. I think it would have worked as a follow-up single and given Frank Wilson more time to work on "Everybody's Got The Right To Love," which was probably a better fit for New Ways.

    Does anyone know who's doing the background on Is There A Place In His Heart For Me? It sounds like Syreeta, but I can't tell if it's Mary and Cindy, The Andantes, or some other singers in the...

    Yes, it was recorded in '68 but released on the Sugar 'N Spice album. One of my favorite Martha tracks from that period.

    Thank you for sharing! I never realized how distinctly you can hear both Mary and Florence on this track. They made some real magic in the studio.

    Yes, that is a tactic, and it wouldn't surprise me if Pedro was secretly threatened by Scherrie, Cindy, and Susaye. Although the former two seemed more like Mary's confidants than Susaye was.

    It's an interesting idea, but I can't imagine Scherrie and Susaye moving into the background, especially since their roles in the group only grew as time went on. I wish they had continued with Joyce...

    I also have "If You Should Walk Away" on my Love Child mix. I think it's a solid song. I think "A House Is Not A Home" and "Got To Get You Into My Life" would have worked on Cream of the Crop.
