By 1967, Gordy and Holland, Dozier and Holland were fighting over money. In spite of this, the guys managed to turn out four Top 10 hits for the Supremes. The first one is quite different from what had come before.

The Supremes: “Love is Here and Now You’re Gone”

This was the hippie era. This is an upbeat attempt at staying relevant, but it sounds more like white commercial pop than Motown.

The Supremes: “The Happening”

This song has some strange psychedelic effects. It’s nothing like the work that Norm Whitfield would do with the Temptations a few years later, and it sounds a bit labored, as if the guys weren’t quite sure of what they were doing.

The Supremes: “Reflections”

Not surprisingly, the guys turned to something more conventional for the girls.

The Supremes: “In and Out of Love”
