The Floy Joy LP is only 1 of 2 career long Supremes LPS I love every song on...the other is HIGH ENERGY....I remember thinking as a 12 yr old other than Nathan and perhaps 2 others Touch was nothing to get excited about...it has been my #1 fav Supremes LP for over 20 years now....
Floy Joy seemed to have very little radio grab at the time too...Automatically Sunshine was a fav b/c Mary was my fav Supreme....the title track was fun, but seemed a bit dated...YWSSL got the LP off to a rolling start...with the hand percussion and guitar....but I thought the nonsense electronically treated ad libs stunk up the production big time...loved A Heart Like Mine, and Over and Over is one of my fav Terrell led songs. Immediately loved the soft flow of Precious Little Things...and I thought Oh Be My Love was cleverly crafted and arranged.
Being 12 at the time, I wasn't looking for laid back, quiet storm or mellow...but these days...I love both of these LPS...
