I could hear the Jean-led Supremes singing "Surrender" [which would've been interesting because the group only ever recorded the Ashford and Simpson song, "Can't Get You Out Of My Mind" a year later in Fall 1971--and nothing else possibly yet-to-be released], but I'm not yet sure whether I could hear Diana singing "Nathan Jones." Maybe? In a way, it reminds me of "Last Time I Saw Him" in the sense of Diana singing about her man who's gone away. [Of course, those are two TOTALLY different songs--I'm just thinking of the subject matter.]
So, in the spirit of navel gazing, what do any of you think? The Supremes biting into the assertive nature of "Surrender"? Diana Ross singing about the man who's gone away?
