Motown Treasures

Seemingly a pre-cursor to the song "My Place" as sung by Diana Ross and Devastating Affair this is by Barbara Randolph.  It also reminds me a little of another track that I can't bring to mind at present.

"My Place" was not written by Frank Wilson though still is a West Coast sound. 

"My Place" does sound very similar ...



DFTMC doesn't chronicle when Ms Ross's "My Place" was recorded so it's difficult to be 100% certain which came first and possibly they both had a common origin?
