The first single billed as Diana Ross and the Supremes. There were more changes taking place as well. Florence Ballard had already been fired by the time this hit the charts because of her erratic, disruptive on and off-stage conduct. She was replaced by Cindy Birdsong. The group's main songwriting/production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland, also would soon depart Motown over the dreaded "creative differences." Oh, yeah, and $$$. There were some unique electronic effects that distinguish the song, which you may remember as the theme to TV's "China Beach." The bass part by James Jamerson is just unreal.
