Following the disbanding of The Supremes in 1977, former group members Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene recorded the album, sharing songwriting, arranging and production duties.[3]  Legendary performer Ray Charles features on “Love Bug” whilst Joyce Vincent Wilson (formerly of Tony Orlando and Dawn) is featured on background vocals.[4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4“Leaving Me Was the Best Thing You’ve Ever Done” was released as the album’s only single.[5] In 2014, the album was re-released on CD and to digital music stores and online streaming services.[6]Table of ContentsCritical reception[edit]Track listing[edit]Out-takes[edit]Personnel[edit]Musicians[edit]Technical[edit]Artwork[edit]Singles[edit]References[edit]Critical reception[edit]In an Allmusic review, Ed Hogan noted ‘the overall smooth, intelligent tone of the album’, describing Partners as ‘a quiet storm precursor’. Hogan expressed “Luvbug” featuring Ray Charles is ‘thick and funky’ and ‘sophisticated slow jams like “You’ve Been Good to Me,” “Another Life From Now,” and mellow treats like “In the Night” and “Your Sweet Love” were ahead of their time’. Meanwhile, “Leaving Me Was the Best Thing You’ve Ever Done” and “I Found Another Love” ‘satisfy their dance fans’.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4A contemporary Billboard review praised Scherrie & Susaye’s ‘strong, soulful’ vocals and described the album as an ‘interesting, if occasionally uneven, package of mostly upbeat songs’, citing “Storybook Romance”, “Your Sweet Love” and “Luvbug” as the ‘best cuts’.[1]Dusty Groove favorably reviewed Partners as a ‘surprisingly great album’ that is ‘not the usual 70s bag from Motown’, with Eugene McDaniels’ production providing ‘a hipper spin than some of the girls’ more famous work from before!’ Dusty Groove also noted ‘a slight Minnie Riperton touch to the vocals a times \u2013 a really great sense of range \u2013 and the best tracks have a warm modern soul vibe that really lets the girls move forward strongly, especially at the few points when there’s an undercurrent of funk.’[8]In an interview with Blues & Soul, Payne recounted ” I remember first meeting Luther Vandross. We were at a session. Quincy Jones called Susaye and me into a session with Luther, James Ingram, and I can’t remember who else […] Luther was so excited to meet Susaye and me, and when he said he loved Partners and just when on and on about it, it really made me feel good.[9]Track listing[edit]Adapted from Discogs and Apple Music.[10][11]Side oneTitleWriter(s)Arranger(s)1.“Storybook Romance”Scherrie PayneAlan Silvestri5:092.“Your Sweet Love”Susaye Greene-BrownLeon Pendarvis, William Reichenbach (Horns)4:153.“Luvbug” (featuring Ray Charles)Susaye Greene-BrownOdell Brown3:364.“Leaving Me Was The Best Thing You’ve Ever Done”Scherrie PayneAlan Silvestri5:355.“When The Day Comes Every Night”Susaye Greene-BrownJeremy Lubbock2:25Side twoTitleWriter(s)Arranger(s)1.“In The Night”Ed Brown, Susaye Greene-BrownOdell Brown, Larry Williams (Horns)6:122.“I Found Another Love”Scherrie Payne, Susaye Greene-BrownLeon Pendarvis, Larry Williams (Horns)3:073.“You’ve Been Good To Me”Scherrie PayneAlan Silvestri3:364.“Another Life From Now”Scherrie PayneJeremy Lubbock5:35Out-takes[edit]Several tracks recorded during the sessions for ‘Partners’ did not make the final cut.
