Syreeta and Ashford & Simpson question

[rovereab]

Was Syreeta the first Motown artist to benefit from Ashford & Simpson's talents with I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For/Something's On My Mind?

Thanks.

That Honor definitely goes to Marvin & Tammi hands down! From both writing and producing! But Syreeta [[or Rita wright as she was called at the time) did a fantastic job on that record! It should of been a hit!

DOH - I was thinking that Ain't No Mountain was recorded later - thanks.

I was speaking from the perspective of hits! I see now you meant who was first to perform a song period right?

[rovereab]

I was thinking of who first recorded a song by them.

The first time I noticed Ashford & Simpson's names on a Motown record was on Brenda Holloway's "Starting the Hurt All Over Again".
