Info for The Supremes Sing HollandDozierHolland (Remastered)

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. According to Motown data this LP sold over 1,525,000 copies in the USA alone.

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')

„Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Eddie Holland were one of the most successful songwriting and production teams of the '60s and '70s; they were staff songwriters at Motown Records who also worked with acts in the studio, and were the brains behind some of the label's biggest hits, including classics by the Temptations, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, the Miracles, and Martha & the Vandellas. Diana Ross & the Supremes were not only one of Motown's biggest acts of the '60s, they were personal favorites of label chief Berry Gordy, so it's no surprise that Holland-Dozier-Holland were often recruited to write and produce material for Motown's flagship act, and just as the title says, The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland features the label's biggest female artists singing a dozen tunes written and produced by their best behind-the-scenes talent. However, this wasn't a 'best-of' collection, but a 1967 set dominated by fresh recordings, which means some of the Supremes' most popular recordings of H-D-H compositions don't make the cut, including 'Baby Love,' 'Stop! In the Name of Love,' 'Where Did Our Love Go,' and 'My World Is Empty Without You.' The album also features the Supremes putting their stamp on H-D-H tunes that were hits for the Four Tops ('It's the Same Old Song') and Martha & the Vandellas ('Love Is Like a Heat Wave'), and while there's nothing wrong with these recordings, they don't quite have the same fire as the originals (Ross' relatively cool approach was always part of her calling card). With a dozen great songs performed by a fine vocal group backed by an outstanding studio band, there's no way The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland could not be a good album, but it isn't quite as great as it could have been, despite a handful of excellent tracks.“ (Mark Deming, AMG)
