Did you know....

...that Diana Ross was the only actual Supreme to sing on “Some Day We’ll Be Together” — the back up singers were hired by the recording studio.

My favorite on the list is “You Can’t Hurry Love”.
My favorite not on the list is “The Happening”.

I will listen to them any day. But how is “Love Child” not in their top ten?

Marvin Gaye - Heard It Through The Grapevine (Live at Montreux)

The most moving version ever! You can feel his pain.

His whole performance at the Live At Montreux 1980 Is well worth watching.

Did not know that. It was their last hit, IIRC.

As a young man the Supremes were my favorite. Just about anything Motown put out was good. Our first girl was named after Diana Ross.

With exception to that acid rock crap, just about music of the 60’s was good, that includes Country and easy listening, instrumentals and pop.

They were all great, but their first hit was the best, IMHO.
