Carty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Love Holland and Dozier on the avenue , and the jimmy ruffin vocal, good points made about the quality of the unreleased stuff and the fact that in general i agree the quality control got things right...however there must be a dozen or so that were right up there and prove the exception to this , i know the song has been mentioned several times but Suspicion could go head to head with any other motown record , would find it very hard to definitively pick something better ,boils down to personal choice and taste i suppose . frank wilson, do i love you by the way, never really did it for me . 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

purist Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Has anyone yet mentioned ' What More Can A Boy Ask For ? ' I agree with those who say that tunes like ' Suspicion ' / ' Reconsider ' etc could easily have been hits had the Motown machine chosen to promote them. Temptations ' Witchcraft ' is one I wish had made it to 45, so I could have one (can't afford the Temps Emporers of Soul cd set, so don't even have it to listen to in the house ;( 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
