All record companies try to follow up a hit with a sound alike or something similar to the hit. It's called chasing a formula. Those songs to do not have anything in common with one another even though they were written by the same people! Enough people liked "I'm Living In Shame" [[including Berry Gordy) to drive it into the Top 10.
PS, You can spit anywhere too, but you would have been hard press to find a woman making jam in a tenement apartment. You would have to grow your own food, fruits etc to can them and that was not possible in tenement slums! Hence, NO HOMEMADE JAM! LOL!!! There is just no physical room/space for that. Must have been a luxury tenement slum. LOL!!!
