The Supremes: At Their Best [Motown, 1978]
In which the great pop factory of the '60s flounders around in the superstar '70s, incapable of fabricating hits around the greatest of girl-group trademarks. "Stoned Love," from 1970, is the last undeniable single Berry Gordy's depleted forces can provide their act; by the time Smokey enters the lists in 1972 he's turned into an album artist. "Love Train"? "You're My Driving Wheel"? Has it come to this?
