In 1974, two Motown superstars, Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross, teamed for an album of duets that was as sumptuous as fans imagined it would be.
The album was a terrific combination of new songs and covers, and the two stars proved themselves to be a powerful partnership.
Perhaps the highlight of the album was a Gloria Jones and Pam Sawyer composition that was driven by a forlorn harmonica and a steady Motown beat. “My Mistake (Was To Love You)” failed to make the R&B Top 10, but it is a song that sounds just as great now as it did more than four decades ago.
“My Mistake” is a song worth looking back upon. Check it out again and recall with us this incredible combination.
