My apologies, typo, "Motown" on topic title.

Just simply wondering, considering to the most, including R&B radio stations in my area, they were only "Let It Whip".

Yet, according to R&B charts, "Joystick", "Swoop [[I'm Yours)", "Hot Spot". Up to 1985, they had regular released singles and albums, meaning they were one of the handful of acts the period Motown properly promotedly gave a chance, took them seriously. And why not, most of them are funky as all out!

I'd kind of presume Motown treated them as their funk group of the first half of the eighties, just as the Commodores was their funk group the latter half of the seventies.

Yet, to pop charts, and thus I'd assume the majority, only "Let It Whip", and aside from reissues from limited-print soul-funk reissue labels, the only Motown label representation on their CDs and compilations has been a Motown Legends, a 20th Century Masters, a spot on the Motown Year-By-Year: 1985, all were quite a while ago now, and "Let It Whip" on the Complete Motown Number Ones.

Just a question or observation, since the only post-Hitsville acts Motown seems to "Legend" up would be Commodores / Lionel Richie, Rick James, DeBarge, and Boyz II Men.
