“Forever Came Today” #28 4/27/1968

By now the Supremes were in complete turmoil. Diana Ross finally received top billing above the group, which didn’t sit well with the others. Florence Ballard had been fired a few months earlier, replaced by Cindy Birdsong; Mary Wilson wasn’t happy, either. Diana was apparently the only Supreme appearing on this Holland-Dozier-Holland effort (one of H-D-H’s last at Motown), backed by the Andantes and recorded a year earlier. It was the group’s first non-Top 20 single since early 1964.
