I think the proof is in the audio. The Andantes use on Flo era Supremes recordings can sometimes be tricky because IMO the Andantes and Flo and Mary had a similar sound. But that's not the case with the Vandellas and Marvelettes. Listening to Annette/Rosalind and Rosalind/Betty, I hear no similarities between them and the Andantes at all, so I can usually tell when the groups have been switched. [["I'm Ready for Love" is the one that threw me off. I would've sworn the soprano during the "oohs" on the verses was Rosalind, even though it's easy to tell it's the Andantes doing everything else. I'm still not completely convinced that Rosalind isn't there.) And the Marvelettes are very easy IMO because they did not possess the skills that could be confused with any of the other female groups at the label. As harmonizers, they just weren't very good. I don't think I've ever been fooled by a Marvelette/Andante vocal. I said all that to say that I'm with Brad on this one.
