Where Did Our Love Go

BANGER

Where Did Our Love Go is the second studio album by The Supremes, but more a collection of hit singles and b-sides. This contains the classics "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", and "Come See About Me". Several less known songs (at least to me) like "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" are also fantastic. Sometimes the shrill vocals annoy me a little, but all in all it's a nice record.

Such a great album, full of Motown classics. 4 stars.

As a native of (metro) Detroit, I simply cannot give enough love to my girls. So many hits on this short album, and some new ones to me as well.

Absolutely delightful – what a great choice. A very good reminder of how fresh this music was, and how lively. The sophistication (solid playing, professional arrangement) with which it was crafted also stands out. So does the sincerity, the lack of artifice compared to the decades of posturing and niche-ification (as much for commercial as aesthetic effect) music fans/consumers have had to endure since suggests how much has been lost by (alleged advancement). Yet it's not pure innocence or even pre-feminist – see "Crossroads of Love" and "Kiss of Fire." If Diana Ross doesn't have one of the all-time great voices, one will eat one's hat. Just excellent – there's a reason it's in the Library of Congress, not a note put wrong, with the impact amplified by brevity. That one found these songs pretty boring and totally for squares as a kid only adds to the sweetness of appreciation now. Serious thanks, props and respect to you, recommender.

Supremes so nice, definitely would have had a place on the list proper

Listening to the Rolling Stone 500 (where I originally picked up this LP from) after the main 1001 was fun, as it felt like the American complement to the Brit-heavy project here. Great to see some worthy classics from that era migrating onto the user list! This is a short but melodically sweet LP with vocal harmonies in spades, not sure if this was remastered but the production is stunningly crisp and the whole album is a treat to listen to. There’s a clear sense of intention and artistry here that can be lacking in modern music, listening to this album made me shed my cynicism for a bit and feel upbeat/hopeful. Cool classic add, more Motown on the list please.

Loved this. Just classic Motown, so simple but so effective. The songs are incredibly catchy without needing to overcomplicate anything, and what a voice Diana Ross has. Clearly an album that needs to be on the list.

I mean come on. Motown heading into it's apex, a machine for hits. For what it is, flawless.

Hit after hit

Fantastic! The original list was woefully neglectful of some pretty big categories and I think this was one of them.

Absolutely top notch, so many ripping classics here.

It's not exactly something I really love, but a classic is a classic for a reason. Motown albums appeared here and there throughout the original list, but it's still a sensitive lack, especially considering their influence on American pop music.

This is a good classic pop-soul album. Baby Love is a very famous hit single. The album is nice and short.

Well, sometimes an album that makes you smile is all you need, no deeper analysis needed. This was very sweet. 4/5.

Is it perhaps a sin that not a single Motown album landed a spot on the original list? Nary a Four Tops, Temptations, nor Supremes album in sight. No, the list seems content showing us the aftermath of Motown with later albums from the Isley Brothers, Marvine Gay, and Stevie Wonder overshadowing their respective starts on the legendary Tamla Records (for their more well-known albums). But it was perhaps the trio of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard whose voices defined the sound of Motown with their smooth harmonies and memorable call-and-response sections. Combined with the precision of the Funk Brothers who lend their instrumentation to perfectly gel with the Supremes, Where Did Our Love Go. Despite what the name may imply, this album's tone remains light and easy throughout its runtime. A pleasant listen by all means. CONTENDER FOR THE LIST: Obviously yes.

This comes up when you look up Motown. So many hand claps

Where’s Diana?
