IT'S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE / Supremes - 1975

Tv is one thing, you have to catch them when they’re on. Radio is a different story.

remember I’m Gonna Make You Love Me was never performed on TV but was in regular rotation on the radio

That’s still a sizeable amount of prime time promotion. Look what happened with “Missing You” when Diana performed it at the American Music Awards. The power of tv.
I seriously doubt it, but do you think it would have become a sizeable hit with more airplay?. It certainly would have proved a boost for Mary.

But missing you was in Regular rotation on the radio and the video was also in rotation on NTV and BET. If He’s my man had a decent amount of radio airplay, who knows

I’m a little confused as you previously posted the song would never have been a hit, even with Scherrie on lead.
I do agree that had it been released mid 74 it would have stood a much better chance.

I said it’s all been said before might have worked if it was released in 74. I then said HMM would not have been a hit even if Scherrie was doing the full lead. And the reason I Said that is lack of radio play here.

I was getting a bit confused as you didn’t mention lack of radio play when first commenting on a Scherrie lead and how the song was unlikely to hit. All sorted.
