Shortly after this album was released,Weston left Motown in a dispute over royalties (coincidentally,Mary Wells had departed from Motown two years prior after also recording a duets album - Together - with Gaye). Weston's replacement as Gaye's duet partner was Tammi Terrell,who recorded several successful hit singles with Gaye during the late 1960s.
