Susaye Greene: The Voice That Closed The Supremes Erahttps://youtu.be/91eYlUpoHvM?si=TKiN9C8Ph96RAOVs

Thanks again Roger. I can hear a similarity in the Holly St James song with the Anita Baker one! No more questions as I just tend get more confused and muddy the waters even further.

Good heavens Roger, why did I not hear that before!

Mable John: The Motown Pioneer You’ve Never Heard Abouthttps://youtu.be/zxzo5891HbA?si=bbbALR-kTSF_BCtE

Thanks Roger for all your hard work on this subject. I'm not really any closer to understanding what makes a song NS. For example, years ago I was surprised to discover that 'The Playground' - Anita Harris was considered NS! I have loved it since it was released in 1967! There are many other examples like this. I found this list which I think is the earlier version of the top 500. I've never heard of at least 90%!Northern Soul Top 5001. Wilson, Frank – Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) (Soul) (£15,000)2.

Bonsoir mon ami Roger. Very interesting. I'm not a huge NS fan but I know what I like. I'm often amazed what is and is not considered as NS. In your view what are Motown's most famous NS songs? This is possibly my favourite.https://youtu.be/ojp0Wv3J0T8?si=5xVfYPeJ1AylLw3oplus this on Paulhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/c4nWhVuHFTY

'Coming on Strong' is a great piece of funk from her 1978 album 'My Name Is Caroline'. Was written, arranged, directed and produced by Hamilton Bohannon.https://youtu.be/nbxPa9Y39JE?si=nrWjilJW4OZowM8P

'One Girl' composed by Tom Baird from their debut album. Should it have been a single? I love it. https://youtu.be/JI3lP-Jg8JY?si=FGMqGaVVKwFVlCtZ

'Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)' - Live in Atlantic City 1983https://youtu.be/JLztUe3XGwI?si=OJt96nSPhX1H_Ogz

Scherrie Payne: The Supremes’ Final Lead Singerhttps://youtu.be/hH9f7xpdFiI?si=gbxy_0dIZwgzbcUf'When I Look At Your Face' 'b' side of 'Fly'. Should have been the 'a' side! https://youtu.be/kulQX8mjxNc?si=R6GkmussxI8JOcPCAlso sung by Jodie Foster!https://youtu.be/cHM6sYGEy-U?si=tZxSaTIkXRpKmQWF

Have tried finding them with no joy!

On this channel they often don't their @rse from their elbow!
