The Robert West Story

The Boston Boulevard address also issued a further three
45's which have caused confusion for collectors over the
years.
The first was by the Primettes called "Tears of
sorrow"/"Pretty baby".
The Primettes had been around the Detroit scene for a
number of years, prior to being christened the Supremes by
Berry Gordy at Motown in ????.
During their formative years they had been working with
Robert West and recorded their Lu Pine 45 at Hitsville in
1960.
By 1962, they were providing backing vocals at Correc-tone
on 12th Street. In particular for one Wilson Pickett.
Almost certainly West issued the "Tears of
sorrow" 45 to cash in on their new found success as the
Supremes. There was a disadvantage however in that Berry
owned the rights to the Supremes name.
