The Supremes Sing Holland–Dozier–Holland (issued in Europe as The Supremes Sing Motown) is the tenth studio album released by The Supremes for Motown in 1967. It includes the number-one hit singles "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone". As the title states: all songs on the album were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland. Most of the album was recorded during the spring and summer of 1966; however several songs date back to the summer of 1964.
Included alongside these songs are a handful of other originals, including "Remove This Doubt" and "You're Gone, But Always in My Heart", among others. Also present on the album are covers of H-D-H penned songs for Motown artists The Isley Brothers ("I Guess I'll Always Love You"), The Four Tops ("It's the Same Old Song", "I'll Turn to Stone"), and Martha and the Vandellas ("(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave")
Overview
This was the group's final album fully overseen by the songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland. Within months of this release, the trio would stage a work slowdown in protest to Motown CEO's Berry Gordy's business decisions. By the end of 1967, H-D-H had departed Motown, but not before producing four final Supremes singles ("The Happening", "Reflections", "In and Out of Love", and "Forever Came Today").
"You're Gone But Always In My Heart" had been the flip side of the Supremes' single "Come See About Me." It was scheduled for the album "More Hits By the Supremes" but removed and replaced by a remixed version of the single "Ask Any Girl" with thought of releasing it as a single again with the remix. The song title was changed because of royalty confusions with the standard "Always in My Heart." "Love Is In Our Hearts" contains different lead vocals on the monaural and stereo versions of the original LP.
