 They Deserve Their Number one Album August 18, 2007
David R. Bishop (Plymouth, UK)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Some may wonder why The Supremes deserve a number one album, alongside Elvis, The Beatles, Abba etc. Surely they were never that popular?
br /
br /Think again! In the '60s they were the most popular American group in America, notching up a dozen pop No 1s. I can't help feeling that sexism and racism plays a part in the downplaying of their role in popular music. These three young black women from Detroit took America and the world by storm. Much is made of tension and trouble in the group. It happens to most groups, but gets overlooked.
br /
br /Diana Ross's shrill nasal leads over those driven rhythm tracks are instantly recognisable. Mary Wilson and dear departed Florence Ballard provided back-ups for the most succesful period. Even if she was made to stand as much as seventeen feet back from the microphone during recording, Flo could still add some RB oomph to the vocal mix.
br /
br /You get Diana Ross' US and UK solo No 1s too. Don't forget that Diana Ross held the record for a solo female, with five solo No 1 pop hits in the US, before Whitney and Mariah re-wrote the rule book. You also get a couple of male duets, and it is good to see the Jean Terrell phase of The Supremes represented by their RB No 1 from 1970 'Stoned Love'.
br /
br /One minor quibble with the track list. Where is 'I Hear A Symphony' ? It made No 1 pop in the US at the end of 1965. 'Reflections', which is included, only made No 2, and was not No 1 RB or in the UK. I will admit that 'Reflections' is a better song than '...Symphony' and was bigger internationally, but it goes against the grain a bit.
br /
br /This album enjoyed a bit of a sales bounce following the success of 'Dreamgirls', a film based loosely around The Supremes story. I think everyone should get a copy.

Diana Ross and the Supremes are the ultimate girl group. There were 2 girls and one superstar diva. The 3 of them rode the wave to the heights of the entertainment world. The music they created and left behind will be with us always.pThese songs are how they were originally recorded. Many of the songs were recorded with the live band behind the 3 girls who all shared ONE microphone. It is almost impossible to believe that under those circumstances, these legendary songs were recorded.pThe re-mix of You Keep Me Hangin' On is powerful. Heard it in a club recently and the dancefloor was packed with young kids grinding a hole into that floor to the sounds of Diana, Mary, and Flo. It was something to see and hear.
The American number one hits April 18, 2005

This compilation contains all the American number one hits that Diana Ross and the Supremes had, separately and together. Although popular in Britain, the Supremes (with Diana) only had one UK number one (Baby love), while Diana had just two solo UK number ones (I'm still waiting, Chain reaction). Curiously, neither of these made it to number one in America so they are omitted from the American version of this compilation. On the British version, Chain reaction replaces the re-mix of Keep me hanging on - however, it seems that the British compilation uses older masters than the American compilation. It seems odd that the British version doesn't include I'm still waiting - it could have replaced The boss, which was only a minor UK hit. pDuring the time that Diana and the Supremes were together, they had an incredible fourteen American number one hits including one (I'm gonna make you love me) with the Temptations. All of them made the UK charts with eight of them making the top ten and three others making the top twenty. Every one of these songs is a classic (even the three that were only minor UK hits) so it's hard to pick out favorites but Stop in the name of love, You can't hurry love, You keep me hanging on and Someday we'll be together are particularly strong.pFollowing the split, the Supremes had just one more American number one (Stoned love, which made the UK top three). Diana fared better but still found number one hits harder to come by than in the sixties. Four of Diana's six solo American number one hits made the UK top ten. Among these, my favorite is the theme from Mahogany although the biggest UK hit was Upside down, prevented from being a UK number one hit by Abba's Winner takes it all. Diana had a further American number one hit via a duet with Lionel Richie, Endless love. It is one of her finest post-Supremes recordings and (of course) made the UK top ten although I hoped it would do better than it actually did.pThis compilation may not be ideal for Brits but it still provides a great introduction to the music of Diana Ross and the Supremes. For Americans, it is the best possible introduction to their music within the confines of a single CD.pFor the best sound quality, buy the American version but remember that it doesn't include Chain reaction.

a good starter cd December 6, 2007
T. Bowles (bexhill, u.k)
if you are starting to get into diana ross and the supremes then this is a cd for you. all the hits are on this album, (not all ) you will find that most of the tracks have been changed in some way, you need to listen to other hit cds to find this out. the only bad think i will say is the very last track, you keep me hanging on,this is not a very good dance version of the song. i have 7 version's of this song and they seem to have put the worst one on this cd, why dont they think first. but apart from that it is well worth the money and you will enjoy a few special moments on the cd, with the girls giving as allways there best.
