The closing track of Side One “He Holds His Own” is the version cut before the Supremes a year later, but Mary continues to captivate listeners with her husky smooth vocals backed by The Four Tops AND Supremes. Either one would have been the perfect follow-up single to “My Guy”. The first two tracks of Side One “He’s The One I Love” and “Whisper You Love Me Boy” are among the finest tracks Mary cut at Motown. Overall, it is just not an LP of just one hit with hasty filler, nor is it a noisy dance album, it’s simply a nicely sequenced collection of well-crafted, well sung early Motown recordings.Originally released as “My Guy” was topping the charts, this LP could have gone much further up the charts (peaking at #111 although her “Greatest Hits” LP out simultaneously hit #18) if Mary did not decide to leave Motown. Mary’s vocal interplay with the Andantes makes this one of Motown’s first full listenable LP’s circa 1964. Side Two sees Mary in a MOR type setting with updated versions of “now” standards, “I Only Have Eyes For You”, “At Last”, “You Do Something To Me”, and notably “My Baby Just Cares For Me”. Originally released as “My Guy” was topping the charts, this LP could have gone much further up the charts (peaking at #111 although her “Greatest Hits” LP out simultaneously hit #18) if Mary did not decide to leave Motown. Her only album for Atco, The Two Sides of Mary Wells, was cut in 1966 and does indeed feature two sides of Mary Wells.ġ962 - The One Who Really Loves You - 2001ġ964 - Mary Wells Sings My Guy (2016) ġ964 - Recorded Live On Stage - 2014 Mary Wells Greatest Hits Rarbg Mary Wells will forever be known as a Motown artist, but after she left the label in 1964 she cut some very good singles for 20th Century and Atco.Among the ladies Gaye sung with were Mary Wells (the hits 'Once Upon a Time' and 'What's the Matter With You Baby'), Kim Weston ('What Good Am I Without You?'
