By the way Kenneth--one of HDH [[can't recall which one) said that Where Did Our Love Go was always meant for the Supremes, not The Marvelettes or anybody else. On the other hand, I've read story after story from various artists saying that other groups were offered the song. So who knows? I recently saw an interview with Smokey and Berry, and they did not agree on who did Heard It Through the Grapevine first, Marvin or Gladys. Obviously they couldn't both be right. It's hard to be a Motown historian when nobody can agree on what happened all these years ago.
