5.0 classicIanPhillips | September 28th 15

Ladies & Gentlemen: The Supremes have arrived! A transitional album, as this combines some of their earlier minor hits like 'Run, Run, Run' and 'A Breath Taking Guy', alongside their Top 40 breakthrough 'When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes' and their trio of groundbreaking chart-toppers: 'Where Did Our Love Go', 'Baby Love' & 'Come See About Me'. The album cuts are all top-notch, culled from various recording sessions, with stand-outs including 'Ask Any Girl' (the B-side to 'Baby Love'), which could easily have been a hit in its own right, and 'I'm Giving You Your Freedom', capturing an unusually earthy vocal from Diana Ross. There's much to savour here and this is a classic album by Motown's finest.

6th February, 2022: The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go (motown, 1964)

The Supremes were one of my earliest ever musical memories. I honestly might have been 4 or 5
at the time, listening to a compilation of their songs along with some Diana Ross solo cuts.
Which is odd, because I don’t actually remember half of the songs on this. Maybe they weren’t
on that CD? Anyway, this is pretty much the pinnacle of sugary motown pop, and once you can
get past the fact that all the songs are 2 minutes and sound the same, it’s a pretty solid
listen. I’m not actually sure if I like Diana’s voice the most here - there’s a timbre to it
that isn’t quite as pleasant as the other singers. But every backing instrument is perfectly
placed, as all hyper commercial 60s pop was. A lot of the songs lean on a single melody for
their appeal, but that’s fine to a point, especially when you’re dealing in such small doses
anyway.
