Here is another outstanding cover from the third duet album from The Supremes & The Four Tops entitled "Dynamite" from 1971. Aside from Barbara Lewis' 1963 original, I think this version is the best of all the covers ever done of the song. It is musical perfection.

Written by: Barbara Lewis
Produced by: Bobby Taylor and Frank Wilson
Track recorded: May 3, 1971
Additional overdubs, strings and horn sessions recorded in Los Angeles: Dates unknown
Levi Stubbs lead vocal recorded: June 5, 1971 & August 17, 1971
Four Tops background vocals recorded: June 9, 1971
Jean Terrell lead vocal recorded: June 10, 1971
Supremes background vocals recorded: June 24, 1971

This version is the best song on the entire LP and one of the best duets the groups did together over the three albums. Motown was foolish not to release this as a single. It screams hit and would have been one had Motown promoted it, but at the time The Supremes and The Four Tops were no longer Motown's top priority. Nonetheless, it still remains an incredible cover.
