i love how even though all the motown acts wre using the same musicians and writers their stuff sounded so different to each other - i think the strings always set the miracles apart from other groups who seemed to use more brassy sounds. great song.

@melkyjr Check out my video of "Bad Girl." I tried to like it but YouTube wouldn't accept the link. It shows a picture of the Motown label test pressings (Side A is called G1 and side B is called G2) This pressing was distributed only in the Detroit area. Also, bankman58 has a picture of it in his video too.

What's your opinion? The single says "Everybody Gotta Pay Some Dues" but the Cookin' album cover says "Everybody's" with the possessive. I don't have the album and I can't read it on the turntable in your video. My feeling is that the early Motown pressings had many errors on their lables, and that it would be best to use the correct English. You're a Motown master, please let me know your feeling about this.

[melkyjr]

do you have "Bad Girl" on Motown label?

[FaerieCrone]

@MotownMaster Yes I agree. I like learning about the history of the track.

Correction: Three singles--the two mentioned and "Broken Hearted".
