Motown Legends: Come See About Me Review

07/13/2005 6:12 AM, AMG


The eight-song Motown cassettes, released in 1989, all follow the same pattern -- two or three hits mixed with obscure cuts. Diana, Mary and Florence rocks on "Those D.J. Shows." Diana Ross gives Tammi Terrell's "Come On and See Me" a lighter, softer reading then the original. Motown had to be overloaded with songs for tight numbers like "Misery Makes Its Home In My Heart" and "Ooowee Baby" to get ignored; both songs were cut in the early/mid-'60s. Super hits "Come See About Me" and "Stop In the Name of Love" are the only recognizable songs among the eight. The rare cuts make this a must for Supremes fanatics. A later CD version contains three extra songs. ~ Andrew Hamilton, All Music Guide
