Could have been the J5 -respectively MJ solo- more successful if Berry Gordy had chosen and released better songs, especially after ABC?
For instance, had "If the shoe don't fit" (although not a favorite of mine) been released on "Maybe Tomorrow" it could have been easily the groups fifth number one hit.
IMO there are plenty other 'stronger' songs (then unreleased session outtakes) that could/should have been released on several J5/MJ solo albums, but for whatever reason Berry often chose to go with filler songs instead.
