There was a planned album for the Supremes titled A Tribute To the Girls in 1965. "Sincerely", "Around the World In 80 Days", and "Mr. Sandman" were apparently recorded for this project. I figure that "People", "Our Day Will Come", and "I Am Woman" would have probably made it onto the album, or considered for inclusion, once There's A Place For Us was scrapped. I'm not sure if any other songs were recorded for the Girls album. Hopefully George might chime in with additional information about this project.
Anyway, if judging on the three official tracks for the album, I think we have a pretty good idea what direction the album was going to take. Undoubtedly, the girls would have turned in fine vocal performances, with some beautiful harmonies. What would your A Tribute To the Girls album look like? Any songs- from 1965 and back- that you would have loved to hear the ladies tackle?
