This song was recorded by the 70's female group the Fuzz but would have been perfect for Jean,Mary and Cindy.

I think you are right ! And with Jean in the lead , I hear 'hit' in it!! From 1971 , kind of ahead of its time a couple years.
[[ is it me or is there some thing off-key in the vocals?)
They also did a Motown cover:
I can hear Mary doing the lead
Looking at the photo of the Fuzz on that CD reminds me a bit of the Supremes iconic afro photo on the album "New Ways, But Love Stays".
Does anyone have any current info. on the ladies in this group? I thought I had
heard one them passed away? Why was their career so short?
Barbara Gilliam passed away in 2008 [[she lead on the cover of "Stand By your Man" as the Passionettes who became the Fuzz).
The last I heard Sheila Young and Val Williams with Danielle Angelique Mims, performs for special one off events
L-R Shelia, Barbara and Val

Yes definitely can hear Jean and the ladies doing this one. I have the Fuzz's album and enjoy it very much, but admittedly I never paid much attention to this one. I am really feeling it!!
Ooooooooh very nice, and yes I can hear the Jean-Supremes doing it too! Might have to try and get this album
i'd love to hear MJC work with Carole King and sing I feel the earth move. the whole Tapestry album would have worked great for the girls. i think that would have been an amazing match for an outside producer.
^ JMC did do It's Too Late but I don't know who produced it.
Bobby Taylor did the sessions for It's Too Late and i think it's one of the stronger "promises kept" tracks. it's a beautiful song and jean is [[typically) wonderful on it. and the backing track and orchestration is also well done
they did a lot of work with Bobby during 1971. sometimes he was the sole producer and sometimes partnering with Frank Wilson

I had no idea Bobby Taylor worked with The Supremes, that's great.
not sure why Bobby focused on so many cover tunes with the girls. the productions def sound good. and of course there's the age-old question of how many of the duets were initially intended as a duet. or were two leads combined
here's what the girls recorded in 71. some tracks for the Touch lp were actually done in late 70
