The Supremes Sing Holland–Dozier–Holland (issued internationally as The Supremes Sing Motown) is a 1967 album by The Supremes for Motown. It includes the number-one hit singles "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone". As the title states: all songs on the album were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland. Most of the album was recorded during the spring and summer of 1966.
Included alongside these songs are a handful of other originals, including "Remove This Doubt" and "You're Gone, But Always in My Heart", among others. Also present on the album are covers of H-D-H penned songs for Motown artists The Isley Brothers ("I Guess I'll Always Love You"), The Four Tops ("It's the Same Old Song", "I'll Turn to Stone"), and Martha and the Vandellas ("(Love is Like a) Heat Wave")
This was the group's final album fully overseen by the songwriting team of Holland–Dozier–Holland. Within months of this release, the trio would stage a work slowdown in protest to Motown CEO's Berry Gordy's business decisions. By the end of 1967, H-D-H had departed Motown, but not before producing four final Supremes singles ("The Happening", "Reflections", "In and Out of Love", and "Forever Came Today").
The Album was re-released in 2009 by SpeakersCornerRecords for the 50th anniversary of Motown.
