Mary’s vocal interplay with the Andantes makes this one of Motown’s first full listenable LP’s circa 1964. Mary Wells Greatest Hits Get email alerts for Mary Wells. Mary Wells occupies a unique niche in pop music in that she was the first female artist on any of Motown's labels to have a hit record, and she remained as the vanguard in that regard until leaving. Side Two sees Mary in a MOR type setting with updated versions of “now” standards, “I Only Have Eyes For You”, “At Last”, “You Do Something To Me”, and notably “My Baby Just Cares For Me”. The closing track of Side One “He Holds His Own” is the version cut before the Supremes a year later, but Mary continues to captivate listeners with her husky smooth vocals backed by The Four Tops AND Supremes. Either one would have been the perfect follow-up single to “My Guy”. The first two tracks of Side One “He’s The One I Love” and “Whisper You Love Me Boy” are among the finest tracks Mary cut at Motown. Originally released as “My Guy” was topping the charts, this LP could have gone much further up the charts (peaking at #111 although her “Greatest Hits” LP out simultaneously hit #18) if Mary did not decide to leave Motown.
