that,however,is an apt descrption of The Supremes, and to a slightly lesser extent, the Four Tops, Tempations, Gaye and Wonder...not so much Marvelettes or Vandellas,Edwin Starr or Jr. Walker, Smokey & the Miracles weren't exactly doing Rogers & Hart,neither were the Jackson 5 doing country,western and pop..it was The Supremes who opened the doors to the Copa, Gordy's dream...it was a pop universe designed primarily for Miss Ross..
