HITSVILLE 1964, Detroit Michigan. In a small house on West
Grand Boulevard 2648, called Hitsville, a group of young
black Americans were making music. Some of these young
artists had already made it big. Little Stevie Wonder was
only thirteen years old when "Fingertips" was a hit, The
Miracles made it to the second spot in Billboard's Hot 100
with "Shop Around", while the Marvelettes hit number one
with "Please Mr. Postman". Hitsville's leading lady Mary
Wells had reached the top 10 for four times already.
Between all these stars, three skinny girls were trying to
be noticed. They did admire their colleagues, but they were
even more determined to do better. Barely twenty and
referred to as "the girls," the three young women did
anythin More...
Review about The Supremes have you met the supremes | Reviewer: dimaflo64
------ About the album Meet The Supremes performed by The Supremes
i own the albums meet the supremes and of course the cd.meet the supremes is a very well blended album that introduces you to the girls, but you meet an aspiring MOTOWN records, song writers such as berry gordy( owner), smokey rob. in song writing capasities/ hit makers? you get to hear diana lead, flo lead and mary lead on the album as well as 1 and 2 singles for the supremes. although the singles were released on the tamla label. i want a guy and release #2 buttered popcorn sung by florence ballad and written by berry himself. thier sound is made from 4 members that included barbara martin. the album serves as a greatest hits for the post primettes. the first 4 singles were the selling power for this album which also had two different covers in the bargain of the newly groomed supremes sans barbra.the '85 cover, the sweethearts of young america now the supremes , extrodinaire(?). get meet the supremes its history. MEET THE SUPREMES -MT606 in the original motown catalog.
This is not a Supremes' biography. It is a Diana Ross biography. The Supremes continued to be successful after Diana left in 1970, disbanding in 1977. The picture you post is Diana Ross and two later Supremes that she never sang with until her ill-fated 2000 tour,which sank because fans didn't go for the hastily made-up trio.
Their version was dull compared to the Vandellas! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave performed by The Supremes
I heard their version from '67 and the song was NOT fit for either Diana nor Mary or Flo. That will always be LINKED to Martha and the Vandellas. The Supremes' version sucked all thin air. Linda Ronstadt was the only person to match Martha's but it's Martha's original and that it should stand. They also did a version of "Come Get These Memories" (which Mary sung lead on) and the Supremes' version was dull too.
A bizarre but well-crafted album, it was recorded before the group's long string of hits with Holland-Dozier-Holland, during a time when Motown couldn't come up with a formula to push them to the top. Producer Clarence Paul (who later had great success with Stevie Wonder) tried this approach, possibly inspired by the crossover success which Ray Charles enjoyed with country tunes. While the plan didn't work, and most of the songs aren't really "country," and all lack the definitive Motown sound, there are a few gems here, especially "It Makes No Difference Now," which stands alone as the only song on which each member takes the lead on a verse. It truly demonstrates that The Supremes were far more than just Diana Ross and two backup singers. Most of the backgrounds are padded out with Andantes (Motown's in-house session gals) but Mary and Florence are layered prominently over them for a very nice balance.
Since ..(Reach out I’ll be there-1966)..I knew that Holland-Dozier-Holland are a Trade mark .. when ever U find a song have been written by them .. it must be a great song !?? Since then I discovered .. that Holland-Dozier-Holland are the secret of The Supremes & The Temptation And Maybe all Motown success!?
So .. from Latakia.. in Syria I asked my friend Najeeb Awad to bring any of (Holland-Dozier-Holland) songs book when he’ll come back from the states to .. home
The version that's presented here is the Vandellas version. Although the Supremes did a version, the single is by Martha and the Vandellas and I reckon the credit should go to the Vandellas.
Also as matter of trivia, the lyric that listed as being the Martha and the Vandellas version lyric on other lyric sites is most certainly wrong! The third verse is missing. I just checked against the original Motown single. This one's the closest.
I hate this song as the greatest song of the 1960s.
i love this i mean dreamgirls was based on the greatest singin group in all times all the girl groups look up to MS. DIANA ROSS for there inspiration with out her you wouldnt have music and im only 16 to learn about my oldies thats basically all i listen to i mean i want sole and heartache and you dont hear that anymore and im glad that diana ross and the supremes came out so i can listen to the good music all the time .
The Supremes Did Sing Heatwave | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song (Love Is Like A) Heat Wave performed by The Supremes
I am just correcting the reviewer who says that the Supremes did not sing "Heatwave", I am sorry to correct you but they did indeed sing this song, Diana sang lead with Flo and Mary on the back, it is from the album "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland", I know the Vandellas sang it too, but check out the Supremes album I just mentioned if you don't believe me!

The Supremes did not record the hit :(Love is like a) Heat Wate. That honor goes to Martha and the Vandellas.
Listen to the words of this song! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Stoned Love performed by The Supremes
I've never listened to the words of this song before. They are wonderful! They still speak to us today: to stop fighting and establish peace. This song could be a hit again if someone did a remake. It also still has a great beat. It could easily be a dance hit.

------ About the song Stoned Love performed by The Supremes
If the USA could have understood this anti Vietnam song maybe they would have been less aggressive and gung ho to this day.
More sincere and straightforward then Bob Dylan's exploitative ramblings
Answer to first reviewer above:
The album you are talking about is THE SUPREMES I HEAR A SYMPHONY which includes their version of "Unchained Melody"... That song was a hit by other artists, including the ever popular version by The Righteous Brothers, but it was never a Supremes single and that is why the radio stations don't have it and will never play it. You can buy the complete I HEAR A SYMPHONY album on CD from Amazon.com or maybe you can order it at your local record store if they don't have it. I agree with you that this is one beautiful album by Diana, Mary and Florence.

Unchained Melody | Reviewer: Valetta
------ About the album I Hear A Symphony performed by The Supremes
The album, "I hear a symphony" is the best of The Supremes. I listened to this album starting at the age of 9. The song I really enjoyed listening to was "Unchained Melody". I have requested this song to be played over the radio but am always told that no such version exists, when in fact I know it does. It is unfortunate that I have lost touch with the album and am desperately seeking a new copy.....preferably in CD form. Anyone have any clue as to how I can get my hands on a copy?
My parents owned an album of The Supremes" that I listened to from the age of 7 until...only the album has been misplaced. In this album the Supremes sang a version of "Unchained Melody"....everytime I request the song on the air, I am told no such version exists....it does I know I listened to it over and over until the album scratched. Does anyone know which album that was from and is the a way to get a hold of it....I have been seeking for years now....I am sorry the album was misplaced. There were many beautiful songs on that album. And I would really love to get a hold of another copy.
