it's hard to determine exactly why - sexism, the girls didn't play instruments/write/produce, they were black girls with a white sound/look, motowns efforts to hype up diana as THE one. probably a bit of all of it
I agree. That's why we have the Beatles Farting Sessions on CD, Elvis' Karate Grunts Expanded Edition, and Marvin's WHAT'S GOING ON? 3000. And yet can't even get through the DRATS catalog.
