We talk with Susan Whitall, the writer of the Liner Notes for our box set, about the first three albums in the box. Which, you know by now are Mary Wells’ Bye Bye Baby--I Don’t Want to Take a Chance, Martha and the Vandellas’ Heat Wave, and The Supremes Where Did Our Love Go. On This episode, Susan and I talk about Mary Wells being the blueprint for every Motown Diva who came after her. We’ll also talk about how Martha and the Vandellas’ impact feels muted now, but they were one of the biggest acts in the early days of Motown. And we’ll cover the Supremes, who along with the Temptations, blew the door open and made Motown into THE Motown.
