Consistent album, packed with infectious Motown arrangements, delightful lead vocals from a young Diana Ross, and a fitting tribute to the genius Holland-Dozier-Holland who had written and produced some of Motown's best and most famous hits, including ten number one hit singles for The Supremes. There are a number of credible Motown cover versions of the likes of Martha & The Vandellas' 'Heat Wave', the Isley Brothers 'I Guess I'll Always Love You' and the Four Tops' 'I'll Turn To Stone', while some of the Supremes originals are all top-notch, including the aching ballad 'Remove This Doubt', the utterly contagious 'There's No Stopping Us Now' (which so should have been a single!) and the fabulously funky 'Goin' Down For The Third Time'. Of the hits, both are solid gold classics that topped the charts: the surprisingly aggressive 'You Keep Me Hanging On' and the jazz-tinged 'Love Is Here And Now You're Gone'. Essential!
