Much mellower is another cover of a Marvin classic, ‘I’ll Be Doggone’, an R&B chart-topper for him in 1965 and penned by Smokey Robinson, Pete Moore and Marv Tarplin. Diana neatly surfboards over the glorious arrangement with her precise delivery while Dennis Edwards of The Temptations again shows off his dynamic, rocketing, vocal power, intertwining with Diana brilliantly. Together opens with a rip-roaring version of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Stubborn Kind Of Fellow’, produced by Frank Wilson (who produced much of the album). The only trouble is that it lacks original material, often the case with Motown albums of the ’60s. Although Together isn’t quite as consistent as that project, it does still carry some engaging, underrated recordings. Coming in at no.10 is Diana Ross & The Supremes’ second studio album with The Temptations much more R&B/soul-flavoured than their first.
