I am in a Marvelettes mood of late and was listening to their 1963 lp The Marvelous Marvelettes with my headphones. I was struck by a familiar voice on two tracks.
On I Forgot About You it sure sounds like Flo on the background...in fact it sounds like the Supremes backing Gladys. Likewise on Silly Boy, again sounds like Flo in the background. Both tracks recorded in Sept 1962. I knew Flo subbed for Wanda onstage during Wanda's pregnancy but now I wonder if she didn't record with them.
Several producers have said they used other backing vocalists on Marvelettes recordings because the girls had a rather shrill sound. Can anybody else listen to these two tracks and see if you hear what I hear?
