i think this is a fascinating topic. all groups must evolve and change and, as someone stated already, 68 was a crazy year in America. music was rapidly becoming much more aggressive and less "cute" than in the early and mid 60s. And given the material that HDH did at Invictus, i don't think it was really all the revolutionary. while it's perfectly fine, it doesn't really reinvent or shake things up like their mid 60s work. So i think if HDH had stayed at motown, they would have started to lose their iron-clad grips on the Tops and Sups. I do love the Frank Wilson work with both of those groups. it seems as if the tops were the male counterpoint to the New Supremes as they moved into singing about peace, god, higher ideal about mankind.
