I love DMF so much; DMC and JMC less so. While Frank produced for JMC, were Mary and Cindy given leads on album cuts or was the emphasis solely on establishing Jean as the lead sound? Where The Andantes filling in much for Mary and Cindy during this period?

Ditto that!

**JimBagley** · 10-09-2012, 10:26 PM

Cindy told me she sang on Up The Ladder [[which is obvious), Stoned Love, and Nathan Jones. Those are the tracks I asked her about. She also said they worked very hard on Nathan Jones to get the voices synchronized.

Jean lead mostly...just a couple with Mary or shared....Andantes....yes....

Don't forget that Dennis Lussier is also known as Deke Richards.

**Methuselah2** · 10-09-2012, 10:36 PM

Thank you, Jim and John, for the JMC/Andantes answers.

"I'll Be Alright" - the BEST!

The Mary O'Brien writer credit on ' Castles In the Sand' always puzzles me. We know that England's Mary Isabelle Catherine Bernadette O'Brien went by the name Dusty Springfield. She did visit the U.S. on at least 2 documented occasions in 1964 and was in awe of the Motown sound.
I've never seen anything written that links Dusty Springfield to the Mary O'Brien of 'Castles In the Sand'. So this Mary O'Brien is likely another composer.

Carole....thank you....youmight be surprised with what I DON'T know [[*smile)!

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 10:50 PM

How about back to back 'I Wish I Were Your Mirror'- Supremes/4 Tops? If not both versions, then how about Jean, Mary & Cindy's?

That would be a nice medley

**Methuselah2** · 10-09-2012, 10:52 PM

Oh, those Isley guys!

**JimBagley** · 10-09-2012, 10:54 PM

Very interesting....thank you, Carole!

**greg jones** · 10-09-2012, 11:02 PM

I looked Dusty Springfield's full name and it is... Mary Isobel Catherine Bernadette O'Brien OBE. The writing credit Mary Margaret O'Brien... so it is not looking like it's Dusty on the writing credit.

**lovechild** · 10-09-2012, 11:05 PM

WooHoo Eddie!!!!

Is that a sort of a kind of a hint?

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:23 PM

You just gave the hint when you pushed the wrong button.

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:25 PM

What ! You're not going to broadcast from the vault as you proposed?????!!!!

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:27 PM

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:39 PM

Don't forget that the Vow's 'My Baby Changes Like The Weather' uses the Miracle's backing track. Perhaps it can be part of next week's show?

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:47 PM

I wonder... did Frank also produce Jimmy Webb's 'Do What You Gotta Do' also on Four tops Now! ?

**midnight johnny** · 10-09-2012, 11:48 PM

Thank you all for your hearts and souls...and funny bones!!! RIP Rev Frank Wilson!!

**carole cucumber** · 10-09-2012, 11:51 PM

Mary Wilson lists the title [[Standing Ovation) in Dreamgirls for JMC but it hasn't appeared yet, so it may not have been recorded by them. If you think of it, please ask Harry, Andy & George when you get to NY/NJ.
