Diana Ross & The Supremes - Where Did Our Love Go

We have done a pretty good job of covering a good chunk of the solo female artists, but we have yet to touch upon the great singing groups. What better place to start than with Diana Ross & The Supremes. These ladies are bad in the best sense of the word. Along with The Marvelettes, whom you will hear plenty from in the near future, The Supremes were the epitome of the doo-wop female soul sound.

In fact, the song that we feature today, "Where Did Our Love Go," was originally intended for The Marvelettes, but in turn was given to The Supremes to record. Immediately after they recorded this single, they came out with what would eventually become their most popular song. "Baby Love" became the sound that you associated with Diana Ross and female soul as a whole in that era. I strongly suggest that you let yourself get knee deep in both The Marvelettes and The Supremes.

If you have yet to see Dreamgirls, take the time to educate yourself on a vital part of soul music history. It is loosely based on the story behind Diana Ross & The Supremes and is a great depiction of the group, the era and what was to come after the groups success.
