while lots of songs were intended for the Supremes, some certainly seem more of a fit. given when they were originally released on other artists, i wonder if these could have worked for the girls
What becomes of the broken hearted - Jimmy's version was completed in FEb 66 and supposedly Diana was in love with the song. so what if DMF did it and it was released as the follow up to My World? and using Jimmy's backing track, not the one M and D used in July 66
this old heart of mine - the Isley's was completed Dec 65 so nearly the same time as the song above. so it too could have been an early or spring 66 release for the girls
Never can say goodbye - this was done in Dec 70 and released in spring 71 on the J5. Clifton Davis wrote it and he also wrote Here Comes the Sunrise for the Sups. This song in the J5 arrangement would have worked beautifully for JMC and been not only an amazing track to include on Touch, could have been a beautiful single for the girls too. I like the J5 version better than the Promises kept version we got
