THE Supremes may not have been the first girl group to top the US pop charts in the rock'n'roll era, but they certainly made the biggest splash.
Long after contenders such as The Crystals, The Shirelles and Little Eva had left the top 40, The Supremes were creating an extraordinary back catalogue of number ones.
This album brings together all their Motown greats and goes on to follow the diverse solo career of Diana Ross, one of the last century's most complete entertainers.
Trying to squeeze in 24 songs has left some tracks frustratingly cut short, but the familiar harmonies remain fresh, dramatic and uplifting.
From the ground-breaking mid-Sixties hits of Baby Love and Stop! In the Name Of Love to Ross's first solo hit, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, there are greats galore. Re-mastered and brought together for the first time, this record is a rich chronicle of pop genius.
