4 The Supremes Sing Motown

TAMLA MOTOWN, 1967

You say: “The label’s greatest hits sung by the label’s flagship girl group. Perfect.” Alice Clark, via e-mail.

Originally released in the US as The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland but renamed Sing Motown in the UK thanks to the label’s stronger identity. By now, The Supremes almost

always sang HDH and here, at their ’60s best, Eddie, Lamont and Brian shuffle through their catalogue to add readings of Four Tops hits like I’ll Turn To Stone and It’s The Same Old Song, Martha And The Vandellas’ Heatwave and The Isley Brothers’ I Guess I’ll Always Love You, on to recent charttoppers You Keep Me Hangin’ On and Love Is Here And Now You're Gone. Other titles written for the trio include Love Is In Our Hearts and There’s No Stopping Us Now. Stopping, in fact, came next for HDH – a dispute with Gordy leading to their exit from the label.
