Mel according to the Soul Harmoney Book it states that the Primettes aka The Supremes are credited to have backed the three 45s as mentioned by Flynny! and i have an early Lupine Lp by the Primettes some where in my records and the cover info states their work as backing artists for the label! i will have a look see and post the results.

Many thanks,I will have to dig out my English copy on M.G.M. to see if there is any hint of any names or something on it,but I doubt it,Cheers Biggray.MEL.

Mel,

To save you time there's no mention of the Supremes on UK copies of the disc - or on US
ones that I know of.

It's so long since I heard it I can't remeber if it sounds like the girls or not. Diana Ross
usually stuck out like a sore thumb when she
did backup work

Cheers Davie,I was just getting my head around looking through a load of my English 45s.MEL.

Davie - If you value your life, just remember not to say that on the Motown board ;o)

By Davie Gordon (193.122.21.26) on Wednesday, October 16, 2002 - 08:06 am:

Ritchie,

Perhaps I should have used a less "controversial"
phrase - Diana has many talents but hiding her
light under a bushel doing backups isn't one of them : - )

I'm just trying to imagine two egos like Wilson
and Diana in the same room :-)

Anyway, I shall exercise all due caution if
I need to mention the lady on the Motown board.
Her fans are, how can I put this - somewhat
defensive ?

IN MARYS BOOK SHE STATES THAT AS THE PRIMETTES THEY DID BACKUP FOR WILSON PICKETT AND EDDIE FLOYD AT LUPINE.

Just another Supremes Curiousity...for years and years I was after Don Revel & The Primettes "Return of Stagger Lee" on Lupine. I still do not know the release number, but take this 45 as one of the two /three missing numbers in any Lupine Discography (and my collection). I just happened to find in a list a record on UA by the Don Revels "ROSL"...and yes, it is the same record ! So the only question left now is, has this ever been published on Lupine ???
