I think most of us know what it's like when songs are 'shopped around' and Dorothy Moore was a one-hit-wonder.
The Supremes could have had a big farewell hit with this song.

I think because the song is such a classic, it's difficult to hear anyone but Dorothy singing it. I don't think it was really the group's style either, but it might have been interesting to hear how it might have been reworked to fit them.
Believe it or not, I like that "Let Yourself Go" ended up being the last single. It was all about fun and having a good time, as opposed to love found or lost.
The first time I heard MISTY BLUE, it was done by Joe Simon. A few years later, Dorothy's version was being blasted throughout my neighborhood. I still love that record, as well as some of her other recordings like I BELIEVE YOU and SPECIAL OCCASION.
If the Supremes did MISTY BLUE, who would do the lead? It is a tempting idea to give it to Mary to see what her smoky alto would do with it. But Scherrie could probably jam with it as well.
Yeah, first thought would be Mary singing it, and I think it would have been good. [[Did she ever do it live? Seems like it would've been right up her alley over the years.) But Scherrie might have given it that extra emotion that it needed.
Out of curiosity, how is it that it’s this song thats is being considered ? Is there a connection ?
MISTY BLUE strikes me as too personally sung to be sung as a group concept.
Maybe fine as an album cut rather than their final single.
Just now realizing the irony of their last single being titled LET YOURSELF GO.
