However I prefer the Ballard lead on the duet that is on the box set in my opinion Ross ruins the song with her whinning compared to Flo's belting soprano. Ross does a better job on the song on the Funny Girl lp but again she is straining. a better job on the GIT special, however Flo conceived the song for the group, and that is what i meant when I said Flo's "People" and her power behind the song speaks for itself. As far as the dance routine that was deleted in the TCB special of the two supremes and three temptations who is anyone to say that it was not an elaborate dance routine we have not seen it so I am not taking the word of someone who says it was not an elaborate dance number when it has never been shown I don't care who George Solomon is, no one is the absolute authority when others have not seen it, it would have been nice if Mary and Cindy had been given an independent number in the show so it wouldn't seem like a one woman show, even the Temptations weren't happy with what went down on that set, and the photo of Berry Gordy, Ross, and the producer speaks for itself when deciding which number would be cut and which ones would be televised.
