Thanks for posting this. I agree entirely about the less prominent Motown groups. The Velvelettes have a more robust sound than the Supremes and for me are eminently better to listen to.

Because the pop biz has always to sell new product to pay for its self-indulgent ways. So it buries past recordings, no matter how good they are, under a slather of cynically manufactured material in order to bamboozle each new generation of kids into handing over their $ for drek.

Andy Lockett . I've just seen the velvelettes singing needle in a haystack. it was 1971 when I first heard it at minehead butlins back in the days when discos were known as discotheques. all I knew of the music of the time was Slade, Dave Edmund's and t rex but musically for me that year was a real eye opener. another big song at the time was I'm gonna run away from you by Tami Lynn. good times and good music!

When the Velvelettes beat the Supremes in a Detroit competition that spelled big trouble for them at Motown. They never got the material, production or promotion they deserved. Berry Gordy gave all sorts of excuses as to why they didn't get an album, including change of personnel (only the Four Tops didn't have such changes). Diana Ross and Carolyn (Cal) Gill would room together on tours but seems there was no room for them together at Motown..
