Mary Wells - post My Guy at motown

[mowest]

Mary's earliest 20th Century Fox recordings were produced by Robert Bateman and Andere Williams in Detroit [[I believe recorded at United Sound), as well as some of the tracks [[and her vocals) recorded in New York. In Detroit, The Andantes were probably NOT used, despite most of the musicians being Motown musicians [[Funk Brothers + other part-time Motowners). I would guess the might have used the popular Detroit backups used by Golden World and Solid Hitbound producers [[Winston Sisters, Pat and Diane Lewis, Joyce Vincent). In New York, the producers likely used The most prolific NY backups like Cissy Houston, Margie Hendrix, The Cookies, The Warwick Sisters.
