The romantic and sentimental "Your Heart Belongs to Me," written by Smokey Robinson, should have been the Supremes` first hit. It`s every bit as charming as his chartbusters for Mary Wells. Diana Ross` sweet tender lead, assisted by Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard`s warm harmonies, could melt icebergs. Ross` vocals on "Who`s Lovin` You" are intense and bluesy; Wilson leads the soulful "Baby Don`t Go"; and Ballard leads the raucous "Buttered Popcorn," a tune more suited for the Contours. "I Want a Guy," their first recording, had been done by the Marvelettes -- the backing voices are buried, and Ross` voice sounds whiny and high-pitched. This song, along with the `50s-sounding "He`s Seventeen," are the only bummers. Ballard shines again on "Let Me Go the Right Way," delivering a tough vocal on top of Ross and Wilson`s enthusiastic vocals. "Time Changes Things," written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Janie Bradford, was a forerunner to later efforts by Holland-Dozier-Holland. Blues lovers will relish the torching "Play a Sad Song." "Never Again" is straight `50s doo wop; if you didn`t know, you would think it was the Chantels. ~ Andrew Hamilton
