Marvin Gaye and The Vandellas!

[BigAl]

The Vandellas backed Marvin on his first hits, "Stubborn Kind of Fella," "Pride and Joy," and "Hitch Hike." I believe some Raybers were added to the backgrounds on one or two of these but I can't remember where I read that. After that, The Supremes got their turn with "Can I get a Witness" and "You're a wonderful One." On "Witness," some male voices were also in evidence, and I believe those were HDH.

That's right BigAl. Martha has said that at the time of the recording of "Stubborn Kind of Fella" and "Pride and Joy" that she and the other Vandellas made up the background right there on the spot!
