“No One Could Love You No More” is a gem. A lost hit record and it’s a shame it’s not more widely know. I actually prefer the mix that appeared on A Little Knight Music. That mix is more balanced...

This is why I don't understand what was so difficult about having two shows. One that was strictly the hits for the teen/general public and the other being the nightclub act engagements. The...

It's been written his Ricky's first gig was Carter Baron, but the Forum show was June 19th and there is a review of the show that calls out Ricky as not being up to par and Paul being "obnoxiously...

Not just them, but many of the classic Motown acts were no longer of interest - Four Tops, Vandellas, Miracles, Gladys & the Pips, Jr. Walker, Temptations, and then the Jackson 5. This all occurred...

"Nathan Jones" sold 1 million. Despite stalling at #16 on Billboard, it went top ten in Cashbox and Record World on both the pop and R&B charts and it went to #5 in the UK. Not sure why it was harder...

I think one of the reasons was that it really didn't work live. On record, it grabs you instantly with the foot stomps and hand claps, but that excitement doesn't transfer over to the live setting....

I love Susaye’s version and agree it’s more fun but Scherrie’s was way more commercial. Scherrie belts it out but stays faithful to the melody. Susaye tends to plays around with it and there are...

Even though there hasn’t been an official news release on it, a simple Facebook search confirms his passing by his children, grandchildren and other family and close friends.

I’ve scanned Facebook and it looks like family members have confirmed his passing. Sad to learn of this.

I LOVE his work. A totally under appreciated songwriter and producer. I wish Motown got...

It likely wouldn't have been any different from how it actually turned out. When "Someday" hit, Johnny Bristol had the advantage to produce both Diana and the Jean-Supremes next singles, but somehow...

Recently, Martha has said some rather unkind things about the Vandellas particularly Roz and Annette. I think it’s safe to say they weren’t invited nor did they want to attend

The star should...

They were recorded on a karaoke machine at a get together at Freda Payne's house.

I think the right song she could do well. I can hear her doing "Precious Little Things."

I don't know if it was Cindy not feeling up to par to take on lead or if everyone simply just overlooked her, but could it have killed them to give her a song here or there. I can hear her doing "The...

Yes. Exactly that. I think people's feelings about Mary [[whether you like her or not) has a lot to do with their approach to her voice. Does Mary's voice have a certain quality to her that lent...

I've never heard the hit in "It's All Been Said Before" that so many hear. It's a nice song, but it has never done anything for me. Like previously said, the intro to "He's My Man," grabs you...

If I'm not mistaken, I think this arrangement was later used in the 60s medley with Scherrie. Or at least a very similar one was used.

As much as I love Jimmy Webb, the album's failure really falls on him. The song selection, arrangements, having Jean sing in keys that made her sound shrill, etc. It's hard to blame Motown for not...

You know Martha Reeves was having a ball kicking and stepping on that fur.

Most likely they were able to tolerate and handle Otis. Others may not have been so willing to go along with or put up with Otis’ direction. That’s not to say this is solely about Otis, but the...

Diana needed the Supremes to develop her craft. As others have discussed, there's no way she would have been a soloist right off the bat and been successful. If she was really determined, I'm sure...

Anyone else find it weird they start the song midway through? Diana doesn't sing the first two verses. When Mary and Cindy join her, she starts singing the third verse which is odd to me.

There...

This was a time in Cindy's life where she was financially strained so buying a new dress probably wasn't in her expenses. And for a event of this magnitude she probably didn't have something that was...

Has anyone ever confirmed where this supposed dress code came from? I've heard it mentioned several times, but no one has ever said who came up with it. Was this something one of the producers said?...

Yes, she wore the black dress that she wore on The Black Stage when she performed "You Danced My Heart Around The Stars." Cindy wore a simple black dress too. I always thought the white dress she...
