Motown Unreleased 1968

"Psychologically" is my favorite Terry Johnson and Theresa Botial track, maybe I asked this question the second time, was this an idea of Motown to continue with a Marvin and Tammi thing ? I know that Motown try it with Edwin Starr and Blinky, isn´t it ?

I thought I read that was their intention, but these recordings are proof nothing stellar came from these sessions or that anything could have been successful. None of those tracks could have charted. Theresa is a demo singer at best. Motown probably realized it wasn't worth investing in and moved on. They really should have focused in on Chuck Jackson and Yvonne Fair. I love their "It Must Be Love" track. There was something that was different from Marvin & Tammi, but had great energy.

It's a great deal of mystery around "I Can Feel The Pain". I'm sure no one expected it's discovery or inclusion. There's supposed to be a version by The Temptations that was completed in 1967,but didn't surface on MU1967. Surprisingly, it showed up here on David Ruffin with Ivy Jo in tow which makes it confusing. Is this a solo track mistaken as a Tempts track at a distance or what? I can't see Keith utilizing this version and passing on "the other one". Quite a few of us were expecting it, but didn't question why it didn't emerge.

I actually believe the IJH - Ruffin version to be the one documented as by the Temptations - surely it's more than likely that IJH was helping out here on a demo for the group and that DR nor the rest of the guys ever added a full vocal.

Ironically looks like David's vocal was recorded around 4 months after he left the group.

It was a pleasant surprise that Martha's "Sweet Soul Music" is in stereo.
