I have always thought that Motown was very good at following up after hits, getting the balance right between not being too similar, but not being too dissimilar either. Take The Supremes' five consecutive #1s, for example, which was an excellent piece of following-up! But sometimes follow-ups failed to deliver and become as big a hit as their predecessors, in most cases unfairly so!!!

So, are there any follow-ups that you thought should have been bigger hits? I have to go for The Temptations' "It's Growing" and Jimmy Ruffin's "I've Passed This Way Before" both of which are virtually AS FANTASTIC as "My Girl" and "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted?" but were relatively small hits. How 'bout you?
