Janice-Marie Johnson adapted the 1963 US #1. The track was produced by
George Duke.

MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS
The first single by Martha Reeves and her group The Vandellas to
crack the US Top 40, also peaked at #6
on the Soul Chart. Issued in 1963, it was written by Holland-Dozier-Holland.
146
When The Lovelight Starts
Shining Through His Eyes
THE SUPREMES
The Supremes’ first Motown single was issued in 1961. Originally a
quartet, they soon evolved into a trio consisting of Diane (later Diana) Ross,
Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson. A series of early singles failed to dent the
US Top 40 until this single finally broke through 2 years later. The disc
peaked at #23 Pop and, more significantly, #2 on the Soul Chart.
145

TLC
A 1994 single by the American hip hop group that topped both the Pop
and R&B charts in America.

R&B chart and reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Locking Up My Heart
THE MARVELETTES
In 1963, this became the first charting single created by the
legendary songwriting / production team of Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier and
Brian Holland.
142
Touch Me, Hold Me, Kiss Me
THE INSPIRATIONS
There have been a few R&B groups with the name The Inspirations.
This thrilling underrated single was by a girl group, not to be confused with the
women of another outfit known as The Sweet Inspirations. This Northern Soul rare
gem was released in 1967 on the Black Pearl label.
141
Forever Came Today
THE SUPREMES
The golden goose that was the H-D-H songwriting team at Motown was
growing dissatisfied with their income despite creating numerous hits for the
Detroit label. As a result, the Holland brothers and Lamont Dozier embarked on
a tactical slow-down. This chart hit was released around this time in 1968.
CRITERIA:
Songs by groups or duos that only include female members and
released in the Rock Era (i.e. since 1955).
