Greatest Hits

Diana Ross And The Supremes, “Greatest Hits” (Motown, 1967; original release 1963-7)
The Supremes are up there with the Beatles, Beach Boys and Velvets as the most musically important groups of the ‘60s, the grandest and most ambitious flourishing of Motown’s project of a synthesis of jet-set sophisto-pop and the most gracefully kinetic r & b. This is the beginning of disco, house and much more, but most crucially, it is just beautiful, brilliant rock and roll.
My favorites as of today: A/1, B/3, C/1, C/3, D/1, D/2, and, oh yeah, B/2
