Those Mowtown studio musicians were absolutely brilliant. Not enough credit goes to them .. they turned simple little melodies into absolute ear-candy.

[@themajicman745]

The Funk Brothers!!

[@brianherrington7226]

Jamerson was massively influential on many bass players of every musical genre.

[@v.j.3029]

Ear-candy is right, I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. Some artists are just pure magicians.

[@dougbrowning82]

The string section were actually members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, directed by Gordon Staples, and consisted of 9 violins, 5 violas, and 4 cellos.

[@zakfulci854]

By the time this song was recorded, several of their songs did not feature the other two Supremes. The background vocals at this point were performed by Julia and Maxine Waters, two fantastic session singers at Motown who are siblings as well.

[@donnalawrence4666]

I was just about to strongly recommend Love Child. How times have changed! My mother didn’t allow me to listen to that song because it was morally objectionable.

My favorite Supremes song. As a divorced dad it always remined me of my daughter. Yes it's only Diana. It was supposed to be her first solo hit, but Barry Gordy got nervous and placed the Supremes name on it.

[@garyatwood-mendez6465]

Love it. Diana Ross is amazing. Have you checked out her song “Missing You”, which she dedicated to Marvin Gaye after he died?

[@vinragland9586]

Love you both. The movie you were thinking of is "Dream Girls" with Beyonce. Diana Ross and the Supremes released this song but only Diana sang on it. It is one of the best produced songs of all time in my opinion and a true classic. Keep spreading the joy!

[@paulschmidt9709]

The movie was Dreamgirls

[@suzy260]

Dream Girls! Loosely based on Diana Ross and the Supremes. IMO, the second best musical movie after Grease. Well worth watching on movie night. Jennifer Hudson is amazing in this movie and won an Oscar for her performance.

[@dillodefense]

I miss Motown.

[@michaelmcmann]

Do Jason Aldean want to hear your take on this song "Try that in a small town" Very Controversial, it was cancelled at CMT and pulled from channel. Some people think its Racist. The biggest media buzz right now on all the News stations Song is at #1 in music charts around the World

[@wedge4hire]

This was Diana's swan song with the Supremes! She went solo after this recording and the rest, they say, is history!

[@Hobodeluxe960]

yeah this was her goodbye song to the girls.

[@jdw5678]

This was also the very last #1 hit single of the 1960s (December 1969).

[@TheGreatGig73]

@@Hobodeluxe960 That is what I had heard back then also

[@erickthefantabulous1]

If i'm not mistaken, diana ross actually went solo on this single. The Supremes had nothing to do with this song. This was actually slated to be diana ross's first solo song Cindy Bird Song & Mary Wilson aren't. Even on the original recording, it was a male voice. Responding to Diana ross's lyrics. As the sixties ended, this song zoomed to number 1# on the charts. As the decade of the sixties was coming to a close What a fitting way for Diana Ross & The Supremes to end the decade.

[@wedge4hire]

@@erickthefantabulous1 I've never heard that before, but it's certainly a possibility!

All songs sung by The Supremes are great. “Reflections” is one you need to listen and react to. It was used as the theme song for the TV series “China Beach” which was about a medical unit in Vietnam … the song was released when the war was escalating. Please review it!

[@DanalynTuthill-yl4hd]

Next, you should do "Love Child". That's my favorite Supremes song. Completely different. A message song. Even had me in tears recently. I'm also partial to a song called "No Matter What Sign You Are". Also when are you guys ever going to react to The Temptations - the male equivalent to the Supremes. Only the biggest male vocal group in history! A huge rabbit hole of hits: Papa Was a Rolling Stone Ball of Confusion Cloud Nine I Can't Get Next to You Come on, Fam, let's spam the comments with Temptations suggestions!

[@timme2844]

YAASSSS!! You MUST react to the Temptations! To put them and MoTown in perspective, The Temptations were the FIRST MoTown act to win a Grammy! in 1969!!! WHAT??? That's nuts!! My favs, if I have to pick just a couple(all their songs are perfect!) would be: Just My Imagination, Ain't To Proud To Beg, My Girl, I Wish It Would Rain, and Papa Was A Rollin Stone. PLZ react to the TEMPTATIONS!!! PLEASE!!

The Funk Brothers were a group of Detroit-based session musicians who performed the backing to most Motown recordings from 1959 until the company moved to Los Angeles in 1972. James Lee Jamerson (January 29, 1936 - August 2, 1983) was an American bass player. He was the uncredited bassist on most of the Motown Records hits in the 1960s and early 1970s (Motown did not list session musician credits on their releases until 1971), and is now regarded as one of the most influential bass players in modern music history. In its special issue "The 100 Greatest Bass Players" in 2017, Bass Player magazine ranked Jamerson number one and called him "the most important and influential bass guitarist". In 2020, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jamerson number one in its list of the 50 greatest bassists of all time.

[@billkitzerow2350]

More number 1 hits than the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Elvis COMBINED!!!!

[@jonstreng7850]

@elegantirony- Thank you for doing all of the research. I have lived in mid-Michigan all my life (53). Was not fortunate enough to grow up during the Motown era but was exposed, because of my stepfather, to another Detroit icon - Bob Seger. The Supremes however were the meaning of class and elegance during the sixties I have heard. And the material!? Fantastic- If not for 4 young men from Liverpool or a gentleman from Tennessee - these ladies once held the record for #1 singles with 12. 😮 An amazing five year run

[@Hexon66]

@@billkitzerow2350 Yes, session musicians who played on hit songs, like The Wrecking Crew and the A-Team. They contributed greatly, but they didn't make the hits without Marvin, Diana, Martha, Smokey, Stevie, et al.

Interestingly, The Supremes were not featured in this recording. So, even though the song was marketed as by "Diana Ross &The Supremes" it was really Diana's first solo effort. Great song made even more poignant knowing that Miss Ross was leaving the group.

According to Mary Wilson, starting with Love Child, she and Cindy never again sang on any "Supremes" singles. However, there are some live tv shows, where you can hear the actual Supremes singing on them..there's an awesome version of Love Child with Mary and Cindy's actual vocals on KZbin but I forget what show it was from.

[@andymageen5308]

It’s surprising to think that they were known as the No Hit Supremes before Baby Love came out, because they then went on to define the decade for Motown. One of the great honors of my life was to stand in Studio One at the Motown Museum and wonder at the number of hits that came out of that small space, all played live for the recording, no tricks or tracks. All the members of The Supremes were just girls that grew up in the neighborhood, there must have been something in the water in Detroit. ✌️

[@rubroken]

Yeah, lead.......just joking. I wasn't into Motown during the 60's but I did love the mix of music on the radio then and that did include Motown and the Supremes

[@sarahdee374]

I grew up in Detroit, and of course we all loved the Supremes and other Motown artists. One of my greatest memories is seeing them flying out of Detroit Metro. Diana had on a huge fur coat (I don't like that now, lol) but they were all so beautiful and classy and SO glamorous to this 10 year, or so, little girl. Oh, and their music was stellar.

[@rs-ye7kw]

Actually "Where Did Our Love Go" was their first hit and it went to #1 in the summer of 1964. "Baby Love" was their follow up later that summer and early fall. It also went to the top of the charts

[@jajuangordy4394]

I'm 37 and is someone that was born and raised in Detroit and knowing the history of Motown, driving or walking past the Motown Museum give me goosebumps knowing that so much history was made at that house. And it also gives me goosebumps knowing that a lot of the Motown artists at that time literally stayed in the area. Even Aretha Franklin stayed in the area even though she never signed with Motown, Aretha Franklin and Smokey Robinson we're neighbors. The Motown Museum just went through a multimillion-dollar expansion.

[@bernieforcejr.-fb9zq]

They were my mommas favorite group,..❤❤❤ LOVE them now I'm 58 every chance to listen to them I do.

[@georgetannehill1790]

This was supposed to be Diana Ross' first solo hit after leaving the group. Background vocals were performed by Merry Clayton, Julia Waters, and Maxine Water, NOT the remaining Supremes. Johnny Bristol, one of the song co-writers, adlibbed during the recording session - it was not part of the original plan, but Gordy liked the result. For more interesting facts, check out the Funk Brothers documentary, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown.'" it's great!

I Hear A symphony and Love Child are two suggestions. Enjoyed their singing from the beginning to today! Thank you

The movie you are thinking of is Dream Girls… it is tremendous….There are so many great songs by Diana & The Supremes…. Three suggestions: Love Child …Stop in the name of Love ….You Can’t Hurry Love…

[@dougbrowning82]

Although billed as Diana Ross & the Supremes, this record is just Diana singing solo. Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong were not involved in the session. Producer/co writer Johnny Bristol can be heard in the background, coaching Diana. Bristol and co writer, Jackey Beavers, originally recorded the song in 1961, and the instrumental tracks for the record here were originally done for Jr. Walker & the All-Stars, but Berry Gordy decided that it would be a great solo premiere for Diana.

[@JD_ATX]

Little known fact: Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong didn't sing one note on this song. The background vocals were performed by The Andantes, a female session trio composed of Jackie Hicks, Marlene Barrow, and Louvain Demps, They actually sung on many other Superemes songs between 1968-1970.

[@telstar4772]

[@moogooguypan2514]

This song has a great history. It was recorded to be Diana Ross‘s first solo single. There are no Supremes on the record other than she. After Florence Ballard left the group, the other Supremes were rarely featured on their records, because their sound was to nowhere near as good. After the recording was finished, they played it back and realized they had a monster on their hands and thought it might be a good idea to release it as a The Supremes final single to help the group go out on top, so their first record of the new grouping would have the momentum of this giant hit. This isn’t the only hit record that the other Supremes were not on. Mary and Florence had great voices, but since there were four different groups of background singers acting as the Supremes, the only voice that was needed really was Diana Ross’s.

[@agnesgrep1970]

The Supremes Gold compilation liner notes credit Julia and Maxine Waters with backing vocals, presumably to settle a royalty dispute. The Andantes did provide the backing vocals for "Love Child" and most other post-Holland-Dozier-Holland, post-Florence Ballard singles.

[@michlkwitz]

Ironically, Mary and Cindy aren't actually singing on this track. When it was recorded it was intended to be Diana's first solo single.

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

Diana Ross is fantastic!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@StevenW1958]

In 1969, Bristol was preparing a new version of "Someday We'll Be Together", to be recorded by Motown act Jr. Walker & the All-Stars. Bristol had already recorded the instrumental track and the background vocals when Berry Gordy happened upon the tracks and heard them. Gordy thought that "Someday" would be a perfect first solo single for Diana Ross, who was making her long-expected exit from the Supremes at the time, and had Bristol sequester Ross into the studio to record the song. Unable at first to get the vocal performance he desired from Ross, Johnny Bristol decided to try something different: he would harmonize with her, helping Ross to get into the mood needed for the record. On the first take, the engineer accidentally recorded both Ross's vocal and Bristol's ad-libs. Bristol and arranger Wade Marcus liked the results, and Bristol had his vocal recorded alongside Ross' for the final version of the song. Bristol's ad-libs and words of encouragement to Ross can be heard in the background throughout the song. When Berry Gordy heard the completed song, he decided to release it as the final Diana Ross & the Supremes song. Neither of the Supremes' remaining members, however, sang on the record.

[@rajvader]

Accidentally invented the "hype man". Brilliant.

[@vinragland9586]

A MUST SEE movie if you love the Motown sound is "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" a tribute to the Fabulous Funk Brothers , the name given to the group of musicians that backed all of the great Motown hits . It's a great history lesson with some great performances . My personal favorites being the songs that the lovely Joan Osborne sings in it 🙂

[@maureenmeek2838]

I was about 17,when this gorgeously produced and beautiful goodbye song was made. It made me cry, cause I grew up with Motown, and this was the the end but also the beginning for Ms. Ross to become the Living Legend she still is after over sixty years. Wow, time goes by. Thanks for keeping this music playing for all generations to enjoy. Many blessings & thanks guys❤😊

[@alecffernandez5556]

The saddest thing about this song , besides the fact that it's the last Supremes song with Ms. Ross, is the fact that the other two members of the group, Mary and Cindy(Flo had left already),were not invited to sing on the recording!! It was just Diana with Motown back-up singers and Johnny Bristol(who co-wrote the song).

[@jaymareeable]

It’s so sad when I think about it

[@Will-qs3ql]

[@curtbonnell4308]

Classic song to be sure. It was originally meant to be Diana's first solo release but Berry Gordy decided to release it as the last record by Diana Ross & The Supremes and it shot to #1. It was The Andantes doing background vocals as they did on a few earlier Diana Ross & The Supremes records. Diana at her best for sure.

[@d.j.starling3559]

The movie you mentioned with Beyonce is Dreamgirls, & yes, it's loosely based on The Supremes. My favorite Supremes song is My World Is Empty Without You. You'll both LOVE it!! Also, you must add the movie, Lady Sings The Blues, to your Have to Watch list. Besides the fabulous music in the film, Lady Sings The Blues would be a great addition to your movie channel. It's the story of the legendary jazz singer, Billie Holliday, & Diana Ross has the starring role, alongside Billy Dee Williams (you saw him as Gale Sayres in Brian's Song) and Richard Pryor in a serious role. Watch it!!!

[@thomastimlin1724]

Said it before: The Supremes were at one time 2nd only to the Beatles in the number of hits they had in the 1960's. That's how BIG they were. I always wonder if Motown would have been so big without them. They were the best girl group singers of the 1960's hands down. Iwas said when Diana Ross left the group, I was a little kid and grew up with that group. They appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show about 17 times, more than the Beatles ever did. Ed loved those girls, he had experience with African American musicians and singers in the old days of Harlem and the Cotton Club, etc. The "new" Supremes were good but they weren't wrtiting songs for them as good as they were after Diana left. I believe they had one big hit after she left called Up the Ladder to the Roof.

[@uppyraptor49]

The best supremes song is STONED LOVE👍

[@stevehamilton8824]

Motown found the best and produced some of the most amazing artists ever. Great song and no one like Diana. I love this song!

My most favorite song by this group,

[@americanaforever6725]

“Love Child”, “Baby Love”, “The Happening”, the duet with the Temptations “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” and so many more great hits

[@timtripp2656]

You should listen to "Nothing But a Heartache" by the Flirtations, they were an American trio in the vein of the Supremes but never became famous here in the states so they went to England to record and came out with the banger Nothing but a Heartache. The music production behind the song, us what really drives it! A hidden treasure!!!

[@57doodoo]

I totally agree. The girl groups weren't as popular in the late 60's when the Flirtations recorded that song, I believe that's why it didn't chart higher than it did. However it really is a fantastic song, especially the intro, and like you mentioned the production was superb.

[@georgesmith3011]

The thing Jay was talking about is Dreamgirls and it had one of my favorites songs done by the legend Jennifer Holliday And I Am telling I'm Not Going. She was in the original Broadway cast and she is fantastic. That is a song you should do. Jay will even be in not iffy mood. He'll love it.

[@georgesmith3011]

The movie was so so. The play was much better I think

[@user-dz6fy6qv2l]

This was a big hit for the Supremes. Bittersweet because it was the final Supremes song featuring Diana Ross in the lineup. She left the group to go solo and this was both her "swan song" and her solo debut as the other ladies in the group did not sing on the song.

[@garyvandecar2580]

Diana Ross will go down as one of the greatest female vocalist of all time, She would go down to have 18 #1 singles 12 with the Supremes and 6 #1 as a solo artist. Someday We'll Be Together would be their 12th and final number in 1969 before Diana Ross went solo in 1970. This is my absolute favorite Diana Ross and the Supremes classic. Diana Ross is the true queen of Motown.

[@MrSteveLoucks]

Yes, Jay, Dreamgirls is a musical that evokes the Supremes, although the musical's creators will tell you it is not about the Supremes. This song is such a bittersweet classic considering that Diana Ross was off from this to her solo journey. In fact, although it was released as the final Supremes song featuring Diana Ross, who left the group for a solo career in January 1970, it was recorded as Ross' first solo single and Supremes members Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong do not sing on the recording. Merry Clayton, Julia Waters Tillman, Maxine Waters Willard and Johnny Bristol are the other voices you hear on the recording. Hope you can listen to her iconic Ain't No Mountain High Enough.

A banger song by Diana Ross to check out is Love Hangover!

[@mattbarnett4210]

My ... FAVORITE ... Supremes song. For that matter, one of my favorite all-time Motown songs.

[@jaycee167]

This is an iconic song for so many reasons. It is not only the last number 1 song of the Supremes. It is also the very last number 1 song of the 1960s reaching number 1 on December 27, 1969. This song said a sweet goodbye to so many things that were loved so much from the 1960s.

Were you guys hearing this masterpiece? Layer upon layer. 3 rhythm guitars, a walking bass. The lead singer Diana Ross's voice is in the front but singing the harmony in the shadows leaving a hole for the melody and the chorus to be filled by backups and the listener. It's like when the star points the mic to the audience and let's the crowd fill in the lyrics. Tell me you weren't drawn in and compelled to sing. All of that and then top it off with a string section. Plus the poetic irony that the lyrics are telling us that this was their mic drop. Who can can produce such genius today?

Fun fact: the starting beats are sampled in Janet Jackson’s “If” ❤ I suggest you give a listen. Its dirty janet. Lol

[@horacerobinson7149]

If you get back to this group please do Let Me Go The Right Way (1962) When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes (1963) Back In His Arms Again (1965) Everything's Good About You (1965) Take Me Where You Go (1965) Whisper You Love Me Boy(1966) Continue to R.I.P Miss Mary Wilson & Miss Florence Ballard. ❤ Thanks again Jay and Amber. 😊

J, you are thinking of the movie Dream Girls. It was originally a Broadway musical by the same name featuring Jennifer Holliday where she made famous the song And I am Telling You. Here is her live performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWa0g5J7d7CKpsk

The male voice on this is Johnny Bristol, who is also a producer/songwriter. He had a few hits on the R&B charts, the most known is "Hang On In There Baby". Also, Mary & Cindy aren't singing on this track. It is really Motown's session female background singers The Andantes. Diana Ross left after this album and was replaced by Jean Terrell.

[@ronnix23]

You guys still haven't done Martha & the Vandellas yet. Even though they were a bit overshadowed by The Supremes at Motown, they still had a ton of hits.

[@BertSmithLondon]

What a fabulous song, don't need to comment on your reaction, always first class.

[@bry8784]

oml the memories on this one, great pick. Another suggestion would be Love Child by them, honestly, anything by them would be great - THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES

[@loritajohnson5664]

Please react to The Supremes when they are actually performing. 'My World is Empty Without You' where they are recording in the studio with the musicians is one of my favorites. The video by FuTuRo Re-Fresh think.

[@miriamswellspring]

Fun fact! When my Nona was towards the end of her life we were watching TV & there was a special on Dianna Ross. She said “oh! I know her! I used to make dresses for her and her friends!” 😮 she was a seamstress in Detroit for years. She didn’t know they were so huge because she’s an immigrant who never paid much attention to pop culture.

[@chriscaspian2280]

Motown just reminds me of My Mum and Auntie Sheila just singing this and dancing in the kitchen, happy days

[@uppyraptor49]

The greatest motown group by far was the TEMPTATIONS, watch the film brilliant story! Also a lot of motown is used as NORTHERN SOUL music

[@sofia01ht]

Forever came today! Live at the ed Sullivan show 🤍 amazing

[@wendywoodruff2871]

She's my favorite one in the We Are The World video. When she's swaying, holding hands with MJ and Stevie, she is radiating joy.

[@sofia01ht]

Oh I wish you had reacted to the live performance of this on the ed Sullivan show. It was their last performance ever, this song was literally the last #1 of the 60s. And this performance is so emotional, vocally perfect and just amazing.

[@lydmarl.475]

So nice to hear this again and for the the male voice in the background, which I love!!

[@cog4life]

Yes!! Some MOTOWN Motown!!!!! 😊😊😊😊❤on my playlist for decades!!! Love this song!

[@jamesbobo]

Other Supreme songs to consider: The Happening, Stop, in the Name of Love, I Hear a Symphony, My World is Empty Without You, Reflections, and Love Child.

[@alanlittle9352]

Something you want to check out, the Supremes and the Temptations together..."I'm Gonna Make You Love Me".

[@AwjwJiminez]

Sorry folks, the Supremes do not sing on this recording. This was truly Dianna Ross’s first solo hit. Her background vocals were her own voice over dubbed along with the songwriter Johnny Bristol. Look it up and see for yourself.

[@jacksonmorganfroghin4815]

I wouldn't mind hearing the Supremes sing, "My World is Empty Without You, Babe. Then tell me that beginning line doesn't sound like a line from a Rolling Stones song that starts, "I see a red door and I want to paint it black." The song is called, "Paint it Black" Play the two back to back and tell me I'm wrong. I could be. The very first song by the Supremes was "Whenever that lovelight starts shining through your eyes" A long title but a spectacular jam from 1963. December 12th to be exact. I was there. It was right after the ice age.

[@joepimentel1426]

Fun fact Johnnie Bristol is also singing backup vocals

[@lorrainemiller688]

So many great tunes came from love and longing during the Vietnam era. When I saw this title, I stopped right in! ✌

[@DerekDominoes]

The male backing vocals in this song were by Johnny Bristol who was one of the song's co-writers.
