I just never got it with crossover appeal:

How come people of all walks of life like this young Flo sounding girl maturing like fine wine right as she's about through puberty [[or so it sounds):

When Berry thought she want this kitten of a girl was going to be a superstar. Did people really believe the studio version of the former artists song thinks it was too "Older Women"?:

Maybe the supremes were too upbeat compared to old piano and the record buyers wanted to be peter pans!



That's my theory.



I know Flo was assaulted and didn't think herself as much as of a "Superstar", but still....I JUST DON'T GET IT!


Why did Dionne Warwick and the others still sell well when Berry's dream was to appeal to all people? Is Motown a lie?
