Song after song, you are blown away by the quality of how wonderful these songs are. Since Motown was running like a 24 machine, there were bound to be potential hit songs that fell through the cracks. Now, Motown opens its vaults to those songs that really could have been but still have the same power and punch as they did when they were first recorded in the 60´s and 70´s.
Several highlights include ´Baby Hit And Run´ by The Contours. A song that could have brought the group back to the top of charts. ´If You Ever Get Your Hands On Love´ by Gladys Knight & The Pips would have been a monster smash had it been released in 1967. From the first note to the very end, it´s pure Motown glory. You´ll scratch your head wondering why a song like this could have been overlooked. ´Until You Came Along´ sung by the genius Carolyn Crawford proves that Carolyn had what it took to take the place of Mary Wells when she left the company in 1965. This song penned and produced by Smokey Robinson is an instant classic with wonderful background vocals by the Andantes. Frank Wilson´s ´My Sugar Baby´ would have been great follow up if ´Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)´ was released in 1965. Jimmy Ruffin´s ´On The Avenue´ is Motown´s answer to such songs as ´Under The Boardwalk´ and ´Up On The Roof.´ ´Poor Little Rich Girl´ could have been a hit for The Marvelettes. It´s a song that´ll make you want to get up and dance. The list goes on and on.
