No, more likely this was released for a simple reason: because no matter what the circumstances, Berry Gordy wasnвЂ™t going to let anyone take liberties.Д«erry had made much of his living chasing a buck wherever one might be found, and so it strikes a modern observer as a bit rich that he objected so strenuously whenever anyone tried to turn the tables. But in real life, the Supremes would issue Stop! In the Name of Love just three months later anyway, so itвЂ™s difficult to envisage where Motown might have been planning to squeeze this hypothetical extra single into the schedules. The message is clear: donвЂ™t mess with Motown.ДЄll of which makes sense, until you ask the crucial question: why? Why bother? I mean, вЂњoh no, Nella Dodds might have taken a Jobete song up the charts, making an already-rich Motown incrementally richerвЂќ вЂ“ is that the kind of thing that would have HDH quaking in their boots? Why would Motown be so keen to squash it? One possible answer is that they were planning to release Come See About Me as the SupremesвЂ™ next single, and NellaвЂ™s version might have stolen its thunder. Denied her big break, Dodds went on to have a short music career with a couple of respectable hits, but sheвЂ™s largely вЂ“ and unfairly вЂ“ been forgotten to history. Berry Gordy went ballistic, demanding Motown release the SupremesвЂ™ cut as a single to squash NellaвЂ™s version the result was a third straight Number One hit for the girls, while Nella DoddsвЂ™ record foundered. Wand picked what they saw as the LPвЂ™s most accessible track not yet used on a Supremes 45, Come See About Me, they worked hard to mimic the production, instrumentation and backing vocal arrangements of the SupremesвЂ™ original, and DoddsвЂ™ version hit the stores in early October of 1964. With Baby Love all over the airwaves, Florence Greenberg reasoned: why not? A 14-year-old would-be starlet, she auditioned for Scepter/Wand by singing along to the recently-released Where Did Our Love Go LP and boasting about her passable Diana Ross impersonation. The answer most Motown buffs will give you is two words: Nella Dodds. What, then, was Motown playing at, shoving out another Supremes single barely five weeks later? The Supremes again, so soon? A little over a month had elapsed since Baby Love had hit the shelves and begun its unstoppable rise to the top.
