susie b Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 We all know that the Beatles were greatly influenced by early American rock and R&B artists, so it's fun to see the complement returned by Motown via the Supremes.A Bit of Liverpool is far from being the best album by Flo, Mary & Diana, but it's a fun departure, and it is a testament to how influential the Beatles and fellow Liverpudlians truly were.Enjoy! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 The Beatles really did love The Motown sound! They were especially fond of Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneNR Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Very cute! Hadn't heard that before. My fellow grade schoolers in fifth and sixth grades didn't bring this album in for rainy day recess dancing in the classroom when it was permitted. Thanks for sharing, that was definitely a little different that what I was used to hearing the Supremes do. 😊 AnneNR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie B Trask Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Nothing great about this. This does not fit the Supremes sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gordy wanted to "cash in" on the Beatles, just like everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
