History
The Supremes were the sharpest expression of the Motown method: a song built on a tambourine and a stomping four-beat pulse, a bassline moving constantly underneath, and a lead vocal kept light and close to conversational rather than belted. Diana Ross sang out front with Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard answering in tight, deliberately plain harmony, and the writing team of Holland, Dozier and Holland supplied one hook after another through the middle of the 1960s. The records were made for radio and for crossover, and they achieved it on a scale no other group from the label matched, running up twelve number one singles on the American pop chart. Beyond the hits, their television appearances and supper-club bookings changed what a Black vocal group from Detroit was expected to be seen doing in that decade. The group carried on after Ross left for a solo career. What stands out on any of the singles is the drive of the rhythm against a voice that never strains to be heard over it.
