During the mid to late 1960s, Barbara recorded for various labels and was briefly considered as a replacement for Florence Ballard of The Supremes in 1967, although Diana Ross opposed the idea. She released a solo single of Holland-Dozier-Holland's "I Got a Feeling" in 1968 and recorded her own version of Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get a Witness." After leaving Motown in the early 1970s, she worked with other labels and made a mini-comeback in England years later.
