Interesting from U Timmy. I expected something else! Pleasantly surprised though. I know Mary Wells was one of the earliest but beyond 'My Guy', I don't know much else.

X!

You have to check her out on YouTube. One member's got an entire catalog of Mary's post Motown stuff as well as Motown singles that never were released by her. That's how I got hooked. Otherwise, Smokey would've replaced Mary in the top 5 list, lol.
