Actually, Beverly Lee sang the high parts on "Foolish Little Girl."
Could anyone help here? I believe lead singer Beverly Owens Alston was an alto and Beverly Lee a soprano. Does anyone know the vocal ranges of Micki Harris and Doris Coley? Thank you.
I'm sure this has been discussed at some point, but does anyone know what studio this song was recorded at?
I don't know if this question has been asked because I haven't been on for a while. Was David Ruffin with the group when they recorded this song, or was it just the other four?
I finally found some of the information I was looking for on this LP. I now know that the instrumental tracks were cut at Columbia Recording Studios on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood in early April 1967...

Volume 1 was released in stereo on CD. I have it.
Thank you everyone
Does anyone know who arranged this track. Neither the single or album credit arrangers. Thanks.
I thought Stevie was only recording in L.A. and New York at this time. If it's Detroit, maybe he cut the rhythm and vocals at the snakepit and the horns at Golden World.
Stevie Wonder produced this single-only release. Did he record it at The Record Plant or Crystal? I know he rarely cut at Hitsville after 1971. Does anyone know? Also, some of the Diana Ross & The...
Where was the album recorded?
