“Some Things You Never Get Used To” #30 7/6/1968

As we’ve mentioned before, the Supremes were in a state of flux by this point. The hitmaking team of Holland-Dozier-Holland departed Motown and Berry Gordy was scrambling to find a winning formula for his label’s stars. Like the previous single, Diana Ross was the only Supreme on the record, backed this time by the song’s writers, Ashford and Simpson. This single also flamed out. The next one didn’t.

Some of these obscure Motown hits are often even more profound than the more familiar bigger ones.

This one certainly doesn’t get a lot of radio airplay these days.
