Martha & the Vandellas were definitely second to the Supremes from 1964-1967.But I think the Shirelles were overall the second biggest female or "girl" group of the decade.
As for their music and singing, I say Vive le Difference!! Girl Groups is one of my favorite pop genres, and I love almost all of them.
I would love to hear the Supremes do I'm Ready for Love, One Way Out, I'm In Love [[And I Know It), A Love Like Yours, and a stronger performance of In My Lonely Room than the one on the Expanded Go-Go album. I know Black Magic was supposed to originally be a Diana Ross project, so I'm wondering how Ross would take on No One There, Bless You, Tear It On Down and [[I've Given You) The Best Years of My Life.
I'm not crazy about Supremes versions of Heat Wave or Come & Get These Memories, so I don't think they should even try Nowhere to Run, Dancing In the Streets or Live Wire.
I have to think about a Martha Reeves take on the Supremes, but definitely Run, Run, Run and Going Down For the Third Time.
