The year 1965 was a banner year for Holland, Dozier and Holland. The Supremes provided most of the cash for Gordy and the guys. This song ended up being iconic with it’s easy movement from A minor to C Major.

The Supremes: “Stop! In the Name of Love”

Then the guys milked the same idea but almost made it sound fresh.

The Supremes: “Back in My Arms Again”

This time, the repetitive nature of what the guys were doing caused this song to miss the Top 10. There were probably sleepless nights at Hitsville USA as the guys were hurting the label’s top act.

The Supremes: “Nothing but Heartaches”

Then the guys changed pace and tried something different for the girls, and it paid off. Watch how they use key changes (modulations) to ratchet up the tension.

The Supremes: “I Hear a Symphony”
