I think it would have kept going with Mary, the Wells-Robinson association would've continued much like Dionne Warwick
with Bacharach & David. Smokey did work with Brenda Holloway, basically redoing some stuff he had done with Mary,
but I think after Mary left, Motown didn't really get behind another solo female artist, at least not 'til Diana went solo.
Carolyn Crawford said that she and her mother were called to a meeting and were told they, meaning Motown, were
going to get behind either her, Brenda Holloway, or Kim Weston in a real big way and they should be ready.
Never really happened although Brenda did have success, but nothing like Mary Wells had with Motown.
