If You're Only Going to Buy One Greatest Hits Set by... Diana Ross and/or The Supremes

By Curt Alliaume

 

I haven’t written one of these in about two years, which is actually a good thing. Many times, I’ve written a “If You’re Going to Buy” post after a famous rock or pop star has died. Between January 2016 and January 2018, 11 of the 23 entries I made were right after someone had passed. But the last one I wrote was after Peter Tork of The Monkees died in 2019, so it’s been a while.

There are other reasons I haven’t been writing these as frequently. I’m running out of heritage artists (I’ve written about 38 artists total), and I don’t want to go down to lesser-known acts (“If You’re Only Going to Buy One Greatest Hits Set by… Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods” will not get many clicks). Further, Spotify lessens the need to run out and buy a greatest hits set somewhat (“Okay Google, play The Rolling Stones on Spotify” takes care of it). But I’m an ownership person; I like the idea that I actually own the songs on CD (or vinyl, or MP3… which reminds me that downloading doesn’t necessarily mean you own it, but that’s an argument for another time, and it’s possible that’s outdated anyway).

Anyway. Mary Wilson died February 8 at the age of 77. Wilson was an original Supreme along with Diana Ross and Florence Ballard (and Barbara Martin, who left a few years before the major hits started happening); Ross is now the only surviving member of the original group. Wilson was the only Supreme who was with the group at every stage from the very beginning to the post-Ross very end (although she didn’t sing on all the records; some of the latter-day “Diana Ross & The Supremes” releases were actually Diana Ross & The Andantes, a Motown in-house backing vocal group used by other acts as well); I also feel a kinship with her if only because I worked on a bunch of reprints of her bestselling books Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme (never met her, though). The Supremes had a huge run of hits (twelve #1 pop hits between 1964 and 1969), and then both Diana Ross and The Supremes had degrees of success after she went solo (the Supremes had five top 20 hits between 1970 and 1972; Ross had twenty top 20 hits between 1970 and 1985).

So what I’m going to do is pick three options: one for The Supremes with Diana Ross as part of the group, one with The Supremes after Ross left, and one for Ross solo. And I’ll identify which sets combine two or all three options (although I prefer to avoid those). Links go to the Wikipedia pages.

For The Supremes:

 

The Ultimate Collection

25 songs on one disc, and every single Top 40 hit the group had (two are collaborations with The Temptations) is included. No bonus tracks you’ve never heard of, no remixes, no alternate versions (do note, though, that once in a while Motown would have an AM radio single mix for their hit songs and use a different one for albums for sound quality purposes; most of the hits sets stick with the single mixes), no postbreakup stuff. You might get more bang for the buck with other sets (this is $11.49 on Amazon and $11.99 on iTunes, which is a little expensive for one disc), but for me, this is exactly what I want. And it came out in 1997, so there’s a decent chance you can find a copy at a used CD store. (Side note: this is the image used for the Dreamgirl book cover; it also hung on our living room wall for years.)

For Diana Ross:

 

All The Great Hits

Yeah, you’re not getting the RCA years hits here (Ross had six top 20 hits after she left Motown in 1981 with RCA Records, now part of Sony), but for the most part Sony and UMG haven’t figured out how to play nice. The only set that appears to contain music from both conglomerates is the 1993 box set Forever Diana: Musical Memoirs, which isn’t available for download, is pretty expensive, and apparently had to be recalled because of sound quality issues—so I would be hesitant to even pick up a used copy. Anyway, this has all the important Motown hits (with the exception of some duets with Marvin Gaye, which might be worth downloading separately) in the full-length versions, and is a ridiculously cheap $5.99 to download on Amazon ($6.99 on iTunes for what started as a two-LP set), which is less than UMG’s skimpy budget-line 20^th Century Masters series. Warning: the vinyl version originally released in 1981 has a different track configuration, including a Supremes mini-medley (this was the “Stars on 45” era); Motown issued it in a hurry since Ross was leaving for RCA Records. Be wary.

 

For The Supremes after Ross: 

 

The ‘70s Anthology

The post-Ross Supremes would probably work as a 20^th Century Masters set, since they only had five top 20 hits, and in the early 1990s Motown released The Supremes: Greatest Hits and Rare Classics, a 23-song, one-disc set including most of the important hits and album tracks, plus a few solo tracks from Jean Terrell (Diana’s replacement) and Scherrie Payne (one of their last lead singers and Freda Payne’s sister). Unfortunately, it’s not available for download. The ‘70s Anthology is a great value at $12.49 on Amazon and $12.99 on iTunes for two discs’ worth of music, but that’s a lot more than all but the most fanatical Supremes fan will want. The physical version, with liner notes by Mary Wilson, is out of print. This is available on Spotify; give it a test drive there if you can.

And here are the other options (all are by The Supremes or Diana Ross & The Supremes unless indicated otherwise); the ones I mentioned and linked to above are not listed below.

Greatest Hits (1967)—The Supremes had so many hits in such a short time they’d earned a double album for the greatest hits set (only The Miracles had been awarded that honor by Motown, and Smokey Robinson was Berry Gordy’s best bud). There are a few B-sides (“Ask Any Girl”) and minor hits (“When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes”) to pad the album to reasonable length, although 55 minutes is still pretty short for two vinyl albums. Out of print on vinyl and CD, unavailable for download. Side note: “The Happening” was never released on a studio album—it was on the soundtrack for an odd 1967 movie release of the same name where four hippies kidnap a retired mobster (you had to be there, I guess); its first appearance on LP was here (the soundtrack didn’t include the single).

Greatest Hits Volume Three (1969)—How much do you want to bet fans scrambled around to find Volume Two, which was never released as a standalone album in the States? (As far as Motown was concerned, the two albums in Greatest Hits were Volume One and Volume Two, I guess—it appears they were released that way in some territories, and Motown mocked up a “Vol. 2” cover for an alleged two-for early in the CD era.) Anyway, this represented their hits from the first set to Ross leaving the group—although “Love Is Here and Now You’re Gone” and “The Happening” are repeated from Greatest Hits, and the group efforts with The Temptations (“I’m Gonna Make You Love Me”) are inexplicably left off.

Anthology (1973, 1986, 1995, 2001)—Motown never tired of releasing new configurations under the “Anthology” banner for all their main acts, but The Supremes may lead the pack, with four different versions. The first is only on vinyl, excludes any post-Ross songs (which is odd, since all of the other Anthology releases went right through the early 1970s), which allowed Motown to stuff in an entire album side’s worth of standards and pop remakes the group recorded throughout the 1960s. (Berry Gordy probably got it in his head The Supremes could be the Black version of Barbra Streisand; it didn’t happen.) The 1986 and 1995 versions skip the standards and add lesser tracks and the post-Ross hits; they would actually be excellent options in lieu of getting both The Ultimate Collection and The ‘70s Anthology listed above—if you can find used copies in decent condition. The 2001 version tosses out the post-Ross hits and adds more alternate versions and the dreaded standards; unfortunately, that’s the one I have (I will say the only chart hit from this era missing is the 1969 Supremes/Temptations version of The Band’s “The Weight,” which is no great loss). I should probably take another look at our local Half-Price Books to see what my options are, although having already spent the money on the 2001 Anthology I might as well go whole hog and download The ‘70s Anthology instead of getting duplicates of 75 percent of the tracks.

20 Golden Greats (1974)—Twenty songs on one vinyl album, available only in the UK (expanded to 40 Golden Greats with post-Ross hits in the CD era). Included here only to show some cover designs haven’t aged well.

Greatest Hits (1976, Diana Ross)—Ross’ first solo anthology, issued in a hurry (I think “Love Hangover” was still on the charts when it came out). Out of print and unavailable for download.

Ross (1978, Diana Ross)—Half new songs, half remixes of old songs. I sense Motown released this in preparation for anticipated demand based on Ross starring in the movie version of The Wiz, and that obviously didn’t happen. Out of print and unavailable for download.

At Their Best (1978)—All the post-Ross hits. Now out of print and unavailable for download, although in 2006 UMG shoehorned Greatest Hits, Greatest Hits Volume Three, and this into a Supremes entry in their Gold two-CD heritage artist series ($18.99 for the download on Amazon, $19.99 on iTunes), so that’s another option if you want to save a little money.

To Love Again (1981, Diana Ross)—This is strange. Diana, her 1980 studio album produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of Chic, was still selling like hotcakes late in the year, but Motown pushed out the ballad “It’s My Turn” from the movie of the same name rather than a third Diana single, and then conjured up another half-new half-old album to go around it, produced by Michael Masser (who had produced several ballad-heavy albums for Ross earlier in the 1970s). I’ve read in a couple of places Motown originally had no faith in Diana—it was actually remixed by a Motown staffer before release without Rodgers’ and Edwards’ input—and so this might have been their safety net. Anyway, it’s out of print, including a 2003 reissue on CD only that doubled the track listing.

Great Songs and Performances That Inspired the Motown 25^th Anniversary TV Special (1983)—Motown released a batch of these after the 1983 special garnered huge ratings; in this case it’s a little ironic since the most talked-about moment (edited out of the broadcast show) was Ross shoving Wilson during an attempted Supremes reunion. Anyway, ten songs in random order. Out of print and unavailable for download.

Anthology (1983, 1986, Ross)—Two more vinyl albums a couple of years after All the Great Hits, and a two-CD set a few years later. That’s the one I have, and it’s perfectly good (although oddly sequenced, it seems like on Disc 2 they discovered they had about 10 minutes of space after chronologically ordering her hits, and went back to the early 1970s to drop in a few more). Not to be confused with The Motown Anthology; out of print and unavailable for download.

20 Greatest Hits: Compact Command Performances (1984)—The first Amazon review says, “Sound quality stinks,” which isn’t surprising; I don’t think record labels had gotten the hang of digital remastering for CD in 1984. Not available for download (despite a link on Amazon that goes to Ross’ first solo album instead), and out of print, probably should be avoided used.

Diana Ross & The Supremes: 25^th Anniversary Collection (1986)—Motown released one of these for both The Supremes and The Temptations; I have the latter. It was a little cheaper than Anthology but not as complete; split up into two volumes (I think) for CD (the vinyl version was three LPs, and half of the set was dedicated to standards and rarities). These now go for a small fortune on Amazon (unfortunately for me The Tempts’ version does not), but they’re out of print and unavailable for download.

Diana Extended: The Remixes (1997)—There was a period in the 1990s when remixed versions of hits were all the rage; thank God that’s over. Anyway, this came out around that time, and if you really want to listen to dance-floor-only versions of “Someday We’ll Be Together” and “Chain Reaction,” here you go. Out of print and unavailable for download.

Greatest Hits: The RCA Years (1997, Ross)—I think all but the most diehard Diana Ross fan would agree her years on RCA Records didn’t live up to her Motown standard. (Long story short: Ross was offered a huge amount of money to jump to RCA Records in 1981 and gave Berry Gordy the opportunity to match it; despite their past personal history, Gordy passed—which probably turned out to be a sound business decision.) Anyway, this doesn’t even have one of the top 20 hits she made for the label (“All of You,” a duet with Julio Iglesias), and there’s a lot of filler. But since these aren’t available on any UMG-generated best-ofs aside from the out-of-print box set, you may want to pick this up anyway if you see it cheap. $10.99 for the download on Amazon and iTunes (but $6.99 for the physical disc on Amazon). Note the version of “Endless Love” here does not include Lionel Richie; it’s her solo version.

20^th Century Masters The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross and The Supremes (1999 for Vol. 1 and 2000 for Vol. 2) and 20^th Century Masters The Millennium Collection: The Best of Diana Ross (2000, Ross)—I hate these things so much I can barely bring myself to discuss it; they’re corporate greed at its finest. The 1999 version was issued as a low-budget option for collectors (and included the single mixes); even though Florence Ballard is pictured on the front cover it’s billed as “Diana Ross & The Supremes” (the group’s name was changed at the same time Motown fired Ballard), and three songs are from the Cindy Birdsong era. Vol. 2, from a year later, shows Birdsong on the cover, but five of the eleven songs have Ballard in the group, and four other songs are from after Ross left. Both are $6.99 for the download, and are still in print, so people are buying them. Ross’ solo version might be worth picking up if Motown had bothered to use the full-length versions of the songs (it wasn’t because of space limitations, that’s for sure: there are only 11 songs on teach disc, so the Supremes packages are about a half hour long), and every song is also on All the Great Hits in its full version, making this almost completely useless. Also $6.99 for the download.

The Supremes (2000)—Four-CD box set that contains three discs from the Ross years and one disc post-Ross. Looks pretty fancy from the photos (I think the box is made of the same flecked cloth material that The Bee Gees used on their concept album Odessa), but that probably means they only made one print run. Unavailable for download and $200 on Amazon for the CD (don’t think you’re getting a bargain by clicking on the $8.99 vinyl version: that’s a copy of the post-Ross group’s studio album of the same name).

The Motown Anthology (2001, Ross)—Perfectly acceptable two-disc set of Ross’ biggest hits—and a lot of nonhits, since her RCA material is excluded. Probably too much for all but the most devoted Ross fans, who probably buy her studio albums anyway. $18.99 for the download on Amazon and $19.99 on iTunes; $20.96 for the discs on Amazon.

The #1’s (2003, both Supremes and Ross)—24 songs on one disc, which is good, with all three configurations represented (although the only post-Ross Supremes song is “Stoned Love”). All the Supremes songs are labeled on Amazon as having “2003 Remix”es, and there’s a second version of “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” with “The Almighty” remix (I’ll withhold comment on that). Strangely, this is $6.99 on iTunes (which is usually more expensive than Amazon, it’s $10.49 there), so it might be worth a download, although I’d recommend test driving the samples on iTunes first (it’s not available on Spotify); I checked the track listing there and the “2003 Remix” labels aren’t there, and “Where Did Our Love Go” sounds fine. It appears the international version has a different cover; don’t blame me for the misplaced apostrophe.

Joined Together: The Complete Studio Duets (2004)—This set utilizes their two studio albums with The Temptations, along with outtakes and other filler (a live album from a TV special is not included) to fill up two discs. Nothing special—the two groups were going in such different directions at the point they didn’t mesh very well—but interesting for collectors, since Wilson and Birdsong are present for all the recordings here; they were replaced by The Andantes for most of the “Diana Ross & The Supremes” music at that time. $19.99 for the download on Amazon, $24.99 on iTunes. I bought a copy from BMG Music Service (RIP) for $2.99 or thereabouts many years ago; I’m gratified to see the one physical copy on Amazon is priced at $902.81; maybe that can buy my son another few days at college next year.

This Is the Story: The '70s Albums, Vol. 1 – 1970–1973: The Jean Terrell Years and Let Yourself Go: The '70s Albums, Vol 2 – 1974–1977: The Final Sessions (2006)—UMG utilized their imprint Hip-O records as a counterpoint to Warner Music’s Rhino (get it?) by released short runs of box sets and long out-of-print albums in the early 2000s; some of them have been made available for download. (I’m not complaining; I picked up Rupert Holmes’ all-encompassing Cast of Characters in 2005 that way; that sucker’s impossible to find nowadays). Anyway, Motown put every note the group recorded after Ross left on these two sets, which are available on Amazon for $32.99 and $28.49, respectively, for roughly three CDs worth of music apiece ($34.99 and $29.99 on iTunes). Also available is Magnificent: The Complete Studio Duets, a two-CD set of three vinyl albums recorded with The Four Tops in the early 1970s, for $21.99 on Amazon, $24.99 on iTunes. Two of the three are on Spotify (This Is the Story is not, although the five studio albums included in the set are there individually), so you might want to give them a listen first before making that big an investment.

The Definitive Collection (2006, Ross)—Hey, I found another set that mixes Ross’ Motown and RCA hits! Too bad it’s unavailable for download—and at $19.95 for a single disc, you’re better off getting All the Great Hits and The RCA Years anyway. And this doesn’t have “All of You” either. Maybe if you see it cheap at a used CD store.

The Definitive Collection (2008)—This one is available for download, but has seven less songs than The Ultimate Collection. At $9.49 on Amazon and $9.99 on iTunes, it’s also cheaper, but you’re getting a lot less bang for the buck. 

Let the Music Play: Supreme Rarities 1960-1969 (Motown Lost & Found) (2008)—Geez, what a title. This isn’t actually a greatest hits set (although a few hits are on it); it’s two CDs worth of alternate takes, rarities, and such. I have this, but only because I found it cheap at 2^nd and Charles, a used CD store that’s since closed its local location. $24.99 for the download on Amazon and iTunes.

Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz (2015, Ross)—I dunno; The Wiz was a pretty famous bomb as a movie (casting 34-year-old Ross as Dorothy Gale may not have been a great move), so I don’t know why anyone would want a whole album of the songs that made it to the soundtrack and those that didn’t. But if that’s your thing, here it is. $9.49 for the download on Amazon, unavailable on iTunes.

Superhits 1979, Week 44

 

 

By Curt Alliaume

 

Several big hits, a couple of should-have-been hits, a few songs you’ll never hear again, and one that shouldn’t be here at all.

 

The Eagles, “Heartache Tonight,” #1, 11/10/1979

First single from the band’s long-awaited album The Long Run, and arguably the best song on the album (don’t get me started; my review of the album on Amazon years ago got lots of disagreement). Cowritten by band members Glenn Frey and Don Henley with longtime ally J.D. Southern and Frey’s old pal Bob Seger, it’s a third-person look at the good and bad things that happen in romance every night. In his book To the Limit: The Untold Story of The Eagles, Marc Eliot quotes J.D. Souther about the song: “Glenn and I were walking around my living room just clapping our hands, without any instruments, which is pretty much how we recorded it. I always though ‘Heartache’ would have been a perfect song for Sam Cooke. Bob Seger, by the way, gave us the title.”

 

Donna Summer, “Dim All the Lights,” #2, 11/10/1979

Third single from her album Bad Girls, and it’s pretty awesome—this gets lots more airplay today than either “Bad Girls” or “Hot Stuff.” Summer had cowrites on many of her big hits, but she wrote this one herself, and it would seem she wrote it about her flame, Bruce Sudano (they would marry in 1980 and remained together until Summer’s death in 2012). The only reasons this missed hitting the top of the charts were a glut of superstar releases at the time, and the fact that one of them was Summer’s duet with Barbra Streisand, “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough),” which was climbing the charts rapidly at that point. But this song deservedly is on all of her best-ofs—and shows that she’s a really awesome singer (and can hold a note!).

 

The Knack, “Good Girls Don’t,” #11, 11/10/1979

On the other hand, this gets almost no radio play today—it’s regarded as the smutty follow up to “My Sharona.” The song is written from the viewpoint of a high school boy putting the make on a high school girl, who turns out to be more than willing to succumb to his advances. Many of the band’s songs were written from this perspective, which was one of the reasons public opinion turned against the band (Doug Fieger was 27 by this point, so his fixation on having sex with high school girls was getting icky); resentment from more established acts toward these newcomers also accounted for some of the backlash. Anyway, this had to be edited to get on the radio, the line “wishing you could get inside her pants” became “wishing she was giving you a chance,” and on the bridge, “when she puts you in your place” is “till she’s sitting on your face.” (Of course, the edited version is almost impossible to find nowadays.)

 

Jennifer Warnes, “I Know a Heartache When I See One,” #19, 11/10/1979

First single from Warnes’ album Shot Through the Heart; it’s a mournful look at romance. Warnes writes some of her own material (she contributed three songs for this album), but this one was cowritten by Rory Bourke, Kerry Chater, and Charlie Black. Andrew Gold contributed guitar, tambourine, and backing vocals to the song, which was coproduced (as was the rest of Shot Through the Heart) by Rob Fraboni, who served as the best man at the wedding of Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd Harrison earlier that year. On a sad note, this may have been one of the last top 40 songs drummed by Jim Gordon, whose schizophrenia eventually sidelined him from music (he murdered his mother in 1983 during a schizophrenic episode and has been in prison ever since).

 

The Crusaders, “Street Life,” #36, 11/10/1979

Great late-night club song, when the tempo slows just a bit and couples get closer together. This song was sung by Randy Crawford. The Crusaders were primarily a jazz band, not an R&B group (although they charted seven songs on the pop charts and 15 songs on the R&B side), but this one broke all boundaries (including in the United Kingdom, where it became a top five hit). Originally a quintet, by the time “Street Life” (and the parent album of the same name) was recorded, they were a trio—Joe Sample on keyboards, Stix Hooper on drums, and Wilton Felder handling saxophone and bass, along with plenty of studio help. This song was probably boosted by Herb Alpert including his own recording of “Street Life” on his Rise album, which released concurrently. I have this on three Crusaders albums (Street Life and two different box sets); my only wish is I also had the single edit too (the album version runs over eleven minutes).

 

The Sports, “Who Listens to the Radio,” #45, 11/10/1979

One-hit (in the United States, anyway) new wave/power pop band out of Melbourne, Australia; this song came from their second album Don’t Throw Stones. Written by band members Stephen Cummings and Andrew Pendlebury, it appears to have two different versions (the “original” has a piano in its arrangement, the other version uses electric keyboards). Released on Mushroom Records in Australia (not the same label that originally released Heart’s records), punk/new wave label Stiff Records in the United Kingdom (and, weirdly, fairly conservative Arista Records in the U.S.), the band charted nine singles in Australia during its run between 1977 and 1983, but nothing else crossed over, and they broke up after that.

 

Earth, Wind, and Fire, “In the Stone,” #58, 11/10/1979

I can only attribute this single flopping in the U.S. due to radio stations all of a sudden getting sick of the band (which, admittedly, had been all over the place for several years), because this is one of their very best songs. “In the Stone” contains a hot horn arrangement and great harmony vocals, so it’s hard to see why the song was such a letdown after the #2 “After the Love Has Gone”—all I can think is EWF was unfairly being lumped into the disco backlash. It took two years until they had their next top 40 hit with “Let’s Groove” Cowritten by Maurice White, Allee Willis, and David Foster.

 

Cory Daye, “Pow Wow,” #76, 11/10/1979

How on earth did this get played on the radio? With its chorus lyric “Gonna have a pow wow/Pass the peace pipe,” it’s not far from 1910 Fruitgum Company’s “Indian Giver,” which was a top five hit in the late 1960s but is now pretty much banned from radio for obvious reasons. Anyway, Cory Daye was part of Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band (and would later become part of the successor group Kid Creole and The Coconuts), but as a solo act, she worked with Sandy Linzer, who had plenty of success in the 1960s working with The Four Seasons, The Monkees, and Jay & The Techniques (and who would later cowrite “I Believe in You and Me” for The Four Tops, which later became a huge hit for Whitney Houston), and Linzer’s material didn’t cut it this time around.

 

Funkadelic, “(Not Just) Knee Deep,” #77, 11/10/1979

One of Funkadelic’s weirder songs, and that’s saying something (anybody listened to Maggot Brain lately?). From their album Uncle Jam Wants You (which hit the top 20 on release, but is inexplicably out of print and unavailable for download today), this one picks up where Chic’s “Le Freak” left off lyrically (“She was a freak, never missin' a beat, yeah/She was a freak, boy was it neat, yeah/Not just knee deep, she was totally deep/When she did the freak with me”). Written by George Clinton, the song runs fifteen minutes long (and was split in two for the single release). It was sampled on De La Soul’s 1989 song “Me Myself and I.”

 

Wilson Bros., “Another Night,” #94, 11/10/1979

And this is an error on my part—this song actually peaked at #94 nearly a full month before November 10; I had the date wrong on my Excel spreadsheet. Sorry about that, folks. Anyway, that’s probably more interesting than the story of this song (written by Allan Clarke, Terry Sylvester, and Terry Hicks of The Hollies; their version hit #71 in 1975). The Wilson Brothers, Steve and Kelly, recorded their Another Night album in 1979, produced by Kyle Lehning (Firefall). Steve Lukather of Toto played guitar on every song except this one.
