"Don't Mess With Bill" #7 2/26/1966

The Marvelettes hadn't had a major hit since '62, when they were the top girl group in Motown's early days. The Supremes then assumed that lofty mantle in '64, mainly because of better promotion from the label and its founder Berry Gordy. This one was written and produced by Smokey Robinson, who said the "Bill" in the song wasn't him - that the name just fit the song's structure.
