Great article! Had no idea about the "Kewpie Doll" Smokey-Diana collaboration... but do now!

I believe this man also did a recent interview with Mary Wilson - I think I posted it too.

It's a mystery to me why Smokey's Supremes productions never really went anywhere. I think it was a great match. "A Breath Taking Guy" should have been a much bigger hit. As far as Diana and Smokey go, as much I ADORE the Diana and Marvin album because it paired my two favorite singers, chemistry wise a Diana and Smokey album might have been a better pairing.

I agree about a Diana/Smokey pairing. His early songs, while not possessing the driving rhythms and bold vocals of the HDH productions, always seemed to work well with the Supremes.
