A Tribute To the Girls

Ran!!! how could you cut Little Girl Blue?!?!? lolol

that's one of my fav songs from R&H, regardless of who sings it. just adore the emotional fiber to the tune. And Diana's solo version on Touch Me In the AM is IMO one of her most perfect vocal recordings of her entire 60+ year career.

So i'm a bit partial to the tune

i think the sup version is lovely. Also love Nina Simone's version. stunning!!

Easy: I'm not as enamored with it as you are.

Diana's version is really enjoyable. The Supremes version just doesn't "best" the cuts I included. My original list had 13 songs because I miscounted. Had to go through a painful track by track review of what I could live with cutting. In the end I had to send "This Can't Be Love" back into the vault. I wonder how often the Supremes' actual producers pulled their hair out when trying to narrow down album tracks.

I'd argue to keep This Can't Be Love as part of the magic of this project was that some songs were re-imagined with a Motown style and sound. They didn't simply follow the traditional style and approach for every song but made some of them their own.

it really must have been a struggle to pick which 12 to keep. Although their job was probably easier than ours as they were looking for the 12 best that featured diana.
