IT'S ALL BEEN SAID BEFORE / Supremes - 1975

[telekin]

This notion that "He's My Man" gets dragged down by Mary's voice has been mentioned a few times and I'm thinking to myself, "really?!" Like, so much so that a programmer would just be turned off the second she comes on, that just seems ridiculous to me.

Like, are people so blinkered by their Supreme allegiances, or has this notion that Mary's voice is uncommercial been just repeated so ad-nauseum among fans [[and we know how that works! See the Motown 25 thread) that people just take it as gospel?

I was relatively new to The Supremes when I first heard this song, and I honestly couldn't tell then who sang what and where. I just knew I loved it, and loved that it seemed to be a shared lead on a pretty dynamite track. I think the energy of Mary and Scherrie are pretty well matched here.
