I wonder why this wasn't a number one

[57highland]

@njezan1

Agree 100%. I remember this song well. It should have been a much bigger hit.

[TheReturnOfBigBear]

Hardly Miss " aimperator", Diana Ross hit Number 1 (Yet Again) in 1970 with Ain't No Mountain High Enough, "The Supremes" Barely managed to Crawl into the Top 10 with Up the Ladder to the roof (Number 10), Actually the "Post Diana" Supremes ONLY had 2 Top 10 Showings in 7 Years, Both in their first 18 Months (with Jean Terrell) It was OVER for "The Supremes", when Jean Terrell walked, History proves you WRONG, Miss Mary was Singing for her Supper from that point on, & eventually went Bankrupt

[aimperator]

The first year after she left the Supremes,Diana's carrer went into a stall.I remeber in a question & answer column one person wrote in asking whatever happened to Diana Ross?It did get better later on of course, but it never did stop for the Supremes, As for the charts,a number 1 is great,something in the top ten is nice,but anything in the top thirty would sell in the millions and be classified as a hit.With Diana,the Supremes only had three number one abums,and they recorded over 24 of them

[TheReturnOfBigBear]

In addition "aimperator", The Supremes Never Charted a Top 10 again after Jean Terrells Departure

In the 7 Years The Post Diana Supremes existed, Diana had 3 Children, Filmed 2 Motion Pictures won a Tony, Golden Globe, 5 American Music Awards, Billboards Performer of the Century as well as an Oscar Nomination

And you were saying Diana "Did Nothing & her Career went into a "Complete Stall"?

[TheReturnOfBigBear]

Not Likely aimperator, The "Supremes" would have just had Different Names, Betty. Thelma, Lou Effie, The result would have been the same.

Obviously you memory is impaired too aimperator, 1970 Gave Diana Ross her 13th Number 1 Hit (Ain't No Moutain High Enough), While "The Supremes" had a 1 Number 10 in 1970 (Up the Ladder to the Roof)

In Fact "The Supremes" had only 2 Top 10 Showings in 7 Years, while Diana had 4 Additional Number 1's During the Same Period

The Andantes were the props. Mary and Cindy were the Supremes. Without them, there would be no group, and Diana could never carry it on her own. People tend to forget that for the first year after her departure, she did nothing, her career went into a complete stall. It never stopped for the Supremes though.

@Drillin4Oil , And they weren't missed either. I sure didn't miss them. They were for the most part just props at this stage in the game.

@italoman9 , Mary and Cindy were just props..

@italoman9 , Puhleeez, the Andantes sounded far better than Mary and Cindy.. They really did.

I think people are nuts. This song is one of my favorites by 60's DraTs

I remember watching them when theywere on Ed Sullivan perorming this song, I would assumd they would have done he complete version, since it was the record they were promoting, but I didn't remember. i always watch them when they were on, but on oter thing, I can't remember seeing them on there perfoming Some Things You Never Get Use To. Thats another one I like, but it would have sounded better with the Supremes dingthe backgrond vocals.
