I enjoy her voice and bought most of her albums, but I don't think I would have enjoyed her leading the Supremes. She always seemed like a singular person / voice to me. She certainly would have looked great as a Supreme, but even there she had her own sense of style that might not have meshed with the group as a whole.
For me, Stevie Wonder Presents and her self titled 1980 records are the best, and I still play both of them often. 'Cause We've Ended Now As Lovers" is a killer track, not really Top 40 to me but, wow, what a vocal and production.
