From pillowy pop to foot-stomping beats: The Supremes’ 20 best songs – ranked!
Sixty years on from their first US No 1, Where Did Our Love Go, we rate the Motown group’s greatest singles – sung with and without Diana Ross
A cover of a flop 1961 single intended as Ross’s first solo release – the other Supremes aren’t even on it, although the voice of the co-writer Johnny Bristol is – Someday We’ll Be Together’s sweet sadness works perfectly as a farewell to her bandmates or a melancholy waning-of-the-60s eulogy. Released the same year as their former leader’s Love Hangover, High Energy is similarly sumptuous and slowly unfolding disco: atmospheric, lush with strings and the startling sound of Scherrie Payne’s whistle-note vocals. Controversial on release – the title led broadcasters to misread its plea for universal brotherhood as a paean to drugs – Stoned Love gently updates the classic Supremes sound for a new decade: deep in the mix, a distorted guitar weaves around the arrangement.
