No drama intended
but as for the comparison , I'd say
the Beatles were a creative collective, writing and performing their own music , and they called the shots on how they wanted to present their songs . The Supremes were just a singing group, collective singers of songs of others, and as such you sort of expect them to sing together , or if not , when doling out solos, doing so in a more equitable way so each member gets a turn at it ..... well unless the intention is to further the career of just one member. In the meantime , they're not headlined as "Diana Ross and Usually The Supremes" ! I guess it begs the question , why aren't they on those songs?
Now that you've brought it up mowsville , you've got me curious, did other Motown groups feature solo songs where the other members were totally absent?
