"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" #19 7/15/1967

Tammi Terrell hadn't had much luck either as a solo performer or in abusive romantic relationships with James Brown and David Ruffin. Being paired professionally with Marvin Gaye, though, proved to be golden as their duets were very successful. Unfortunately it didn't last, as she collapsed while on stage with Marvin in October 1967. Tammi was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died at the age of 24 in 1970. Diana Ross had her first #1 after the Supremes with a radical rearrangement.
