The fifth consecutive Supremes song that went to #1. Another Holland-Dozier- Holland written and produced song -with the Funk Brothers in that background on instrumentation. Note the middle eight on this song sounds almost exactly like the Isley Brothers “This Old Heart Of Mine”- which was also written by Holland-Dozier-Holland.
I like this song, but not as much as I do This Old Heart of Mine. Funny, I never noticed the sequence in the song before (not one of my favorite Supremes songs) but you’re right. It’s almost identical.
