Music reviews of Motown Anthology

Music Review: Finally It's Happened for Kim!
Rating: 5 Stars

All I can really say to get started, is to say FINALLY Kim Weston gets her due. After many other of her 2nd tier comrades for the Detroit label have been properly anthologized, she gets this great collection that avoids excellently duplication from her previous single disc compilations. Another blessing is the absolute lack of Marvin Gaye Duets! not to say I hate those, but it is great to see Mrs. Weston presented as the great SOLOIST she is.

Ok to actually get to the music. oh-mi0god what Music. I'm really starting to believe the rumours that her relationship with husband Mickey Stevenson did not help her release schedule. She went through 5 releases between 1963 thru 1965 that did not chart, despite excellent quality of each. The fact that there is such copious music of great quality that wasn't released is amazing. Early tracks like " I Know His Name(Only His Name)" which was also recorded at a much faster pace by The Velvelettes is given a tough Brill Building treatment not unlike Little Eva's "Keep Your Hands Off My Baby." It seems that from the start Motown did not know how to really market her, since all the recordings on the 2nd disc cover some pastiche of 1963-64 music."When We Get Together" seems like a lost Ruby & The Romantics album track(like their "Daydreaming"). "Build Him Up" seems like your typical Holland-Dozier-Holland girl group classic from 1963, but it displays some of Kim Weston's finest gospel belting towards the fade. Also throughout both discs you note that Mrs. Weston was handed more "adult" songs lyrically in comparison to her label mates. Also remarkable is the fact that so many of her songs weren't immediately passed to someone else for covering, if at all.

This set shows yet again how much female talent was wasted at Motown. In Mrs. Weston's case you cannot directly blame the Supremes however, since she signed a year ahead of any real success by that group. Given the tracks that dominate disc one she would have had one of the finer Motown Dance albums ever in 1965 had an actual album been planned. Beautiful tracks like "You Can Do It" and "I Don't Know If I'm Coming Or Going" are pure Motown graced with the warmth and sincerity not normally found in most dance music("You Can Do it" is particularly touching, one can see it as someone grieving even the death of a love one and learning how to live again...maybe I'm reading a bit too deeply, but that's how much emotion is dripping out of the song). I actually prefer Kim's version of "Hurt a Little Everyday" for it's lack of overdramatic histrionics musically (Not necessarily vocally) of Brenda Holloway's version. I can't exactly tell if The "Come and Get These Memories" track is the same used for "The Supremes A-Go-Go" in 1966, they seem similar. Also it's great not to have to listen to hissing, droning or poorly mixed bootleg tracks like "Any Girl In Love (Knows What I'm Going Through)," "Absent Minded Lover " and the outstanding "You Hit Me Where It Hurt Me" you can't really appreciate the greatness of that particular track until you've heard it in the Stereo mix heard here.

again the British Tamla Motown people give the people what they want, I dunno what to ask for next, I'm pretty sure they are digging for an all out Elgins or Tammi Terrell set.
