If Diana had written each of those songs, I think the album would automatically end up in discussions of great Motown albums of the 70s. I personally don't subscribe to the thought that someone like Diana is a lesser artist because she didn't write her songs than someone who does, but unfortunately there are a lot of people who think that way, and thus TMITM in my opinion gets left behind. If I could tweak the tracklist replacing two songs, maybe add a third, I like to think the album would be even better. But of course that's a discussion for another thread.
