    i’m always surprised that eddie kendrick’s third self-titled album isn’t more universally cared for. it includes one of my favorite motown songs of all time, the frank wilson wriiten & produced...

    the timing for “come ‘round here) i’m the one you need” as a follow up to “reach out” makes sense. “reach out” was recorded on july 27, 1966, “i’m the one you need” september 29, and “standing in the...

    wow! thanks! this makes a whole lot of sense to me. i hope it’s true, but even if it turns out to be a more muddled story, i think this is the one i’ll believe!

    someone who has listened to the isolated vocal tracks of "easy" told me that it is valerie simpson. motown has not wanted to diminish terrell's legacy and hurt her family by officially saying that...

    marvin's t.a.m.i. show gig is probably his best early live performance. everybody talks about james brown and the stones, but they always seem to try too hard. gaye was cool as a cucumber and didn't...

    for the most part hdh were the only producers who knew how to use ross's unique voice and the only group of writers who could consistently give them hit material. i am not convinced the supremes...

    everybody always talks about the female singers who could have had careers as big as diana ross. i can only think of two: brenda holloway & tammi terrell. gordy never seemed to push holloway, and...

    elvis costello is not challenging his fans ... we have always expected him to push us in new and different directions. the same goes for bob dylan. diana ross is a retro act living on past laurels....

    the problem for the post jean terrell supremes is, for me, by this third incarnation the supremes no longer had anything in common with the original brand. this high pitched model just doesn't work...

    swift actually says she likes the song "i'm gonna make you love me" by the temps & the supremes. she, quite obviously, doesn't have a very broad knowledge of either group's broad catalog!
