"You Keep Me Hangin' On" #1 11/19/1966

The eighth #1 on the pop charts for the Supremes. Lamont Dozier of the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team came up with the guitar intro after hearing a news flash sounder on the radio, as if to convey a sense of urgency. A much slower version came out in '67 by Vanilla Fudge, and in the 80's this was redone by Kim Wilde who also took it to #1. Reba McEntire did a dance version in the 90's which was decidedly NOT country.
