50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles Collection 1961-1969

For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group's 50th anniversary, every single from the legendary Diana Ross & the Supremes is now in one package--the 3-CD box set 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969, featuring every A- and B- side, from the very beginning to their triumphant farewell, when lead singer Diana Ross left for a solo career. Included are the group's 14 No. 1 Pop and R&B hits, from "Where Did Our Love Go" to "Someday We'll Be Together," and the smashes in-between--the iconic "Baby Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love," the controversial "Love Child," "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me," a duet with the Temptations. With these hits, the Supremes--Ms. Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who was replaced in 1967 by Cindy Birdsong--broke down social barriers and became cultural icons. They were the first American group to have five consecutive No.1 pop hits, representing Motown as a classic American success story, and were a beacon of beauty and class during a tumultuous decade. Because it's "Complete," the beautifully packaged 3-CD box set also includes the early, though beloved, flops, when the "girls" were known around Motown as the "no-hit Supremes"--among them the rarities "Buttered Popcorn," featuring Flo, and "Your Heart Belongs To Me," a thinly veiled love letter to a boyfriend in Vietnam issued in 1962, well before the topic was reflected in popular music. It also includes rare alternate pressings, promotional releases including a group interview and a theme to a cult film, and much more. Also included: the much sought-after foreign language singles.
