"Everything Is Good About You" by The Supremes

Led by the charismatic vocals of Diana Ross until she left in 1969 to pursue a successful solo career, The Supremes were one of the hottest groups of the 60s. They scored an unbelievable twelve #1 hits in that decade and plenty more that landed in the Top 40. Their biggest include "Baby Love" (#1 for 4 weeks), "Love Child" (#1 for 2 weeks), and "Come See About Me" (#1 for 2 weeks).

An astonishing four of their #1 hits are in the Grammy Hall of Fame: "Where Did Our Love Go," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "You Can't Hurry Love," and "You Keep Me Hangin' On." Their track record earned them a #5 ranking as the most successful artist of the 60s, and #26 of all-time.

With the departure of Ross, replaced by Jean Terrell, the group also had a departure of #1 hits. But they still scored big with songs like "Up The Ladder To The Roof" (#10), "Stoned Love" (#7), and "Floy Joy" (#16). In 1976, The Supremes saw their last chart appearance when "You're My Driving Wheel" stalled at #85.

"Everything Is Good About You" takes us back to their hey day in 1966, when they were cranking out so many great tunes that there wasn't enough room on the chart for them all.
