DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES

When this single was issued in 1967, it was the first to be credited to Diana Ross and The Supremes. Created by the multi-talented team of Holland/ Dozier/ Holland, the recording lifted the bar in terms of production techniques at Motown. This was one of the last hits to feature founding member Florence Ballard. The single peaked at #2 and #4 on the US Pop and Soul charts. In Britain, the disc climbed to #5.
