58. The Supremes -- Come See About Me.

Sat Nov 18, 2017, 08:23 AM

Nov 2017

An early Motown hit, possibly mostly in Detroit. I wouldn't know about it's hit status outside Detroit since I was just entering 10th grade at the time.

The garage behind Hitsville, USA was where all these songs were recorded. That was the Motown sound. When they moved away from West Grand Blvd in Detroit, Motown sagged. When they moved to CA, they died. There was something about that garage. Oh boy, was it ever!
