In this month's UK magazine 'Record Collector', there's a short two page interview with LA Wrecking Crew Bassist Carol Kaye. In the introduction the writer is claiming she plays on the Supremes tracks 'Baby Love' and 'You Can't Hurry Love'. To be fair these songs are not mentioned in the interview, but she is doing James Jameson's memory a diservice. I dont doubt that she played on a large number of West Coast Motown sessions [[Brenda Holloway etc). There's a large discussion on some Youtube clips, especially that fact she claims to have played on 'I Was Made To Love Her'.
Surely she can't have played on the two Supremes songs. Has she every even been to Detroit, let alone Hitsville? I really wish JJ was still alive to put paid to these claims, even though as I understand it, some ex-Motown staff have written this wasn't possible.
