High Energy vs Mary, Scherrie & Susaye albums

[jobeterob]

High Energy looked like there was a possibility of the Supremes continuing with some degree of success. And then came MSS - and it didn't even chart on the Top 200. I bought it and forgot it. I don't think it's as bad now as I did back then. My thought was it was just another disco album or an attempt to buy into that sound because that is what was selling at the time. It's no wonder that Mary bailed after how poorly it did.

Kind of like how Motown dumped Diana Ross after all those poor-selling albums of the late 80s and 90s, huh? The difference is Ross' albums were hugely promoted as tie-ins to some pretty major events,i.e. TV movie, The Super Bowl, and television guest spots of some of the most popular shows at the time.
