Diana Ross & The Supremes: 50th Anniversary: Singles Collection 1961 - 1969 auf 3 CDs

Sie waren die erste amerikanische Gruppe mit fünf aufeinander folgende Nr. 1 Pop-Hits - Diana Ross & The Supremes.

Anlässlich des 50.jährigen Jubiläums erscheint nun zum ersten Mal eine CD-Box mit allen Hits der legendären Diana Ross & The Supremes aus den Jahren 1961-1969. Die CD-Box umfasst drei Alben mit Hits von den Anfängen bis zu ihrem triumphalen Abschied, als die Lead-Sängerin Diana Ross die Band für eine Solo-Karriere verließ.

Product Information

For the first time ever, on the occasion of the group’s 50th anniversary, every single from the legendary Diana Ross & the Supremes is now in one package— 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969, the 3-CD box set featuring every A- and B-side from the very beginning to their triumphant farewell, when lead singer Diana Ross left for a solo career.

Included are the group’s 14 No. 1 Pop and R&B hits from “Where Did Our Love Go” to “Someday We’ll Be Together,” and the smashes in-between—the iconic “Baby Love” and “Stop! In The Name Of Love,” the controversial “Love Child,” “I’m Gonna Make You Love Me” (a duet with the Temptations, who celebrate their own 50th anniversary this year) and many more. With these hits, the Supremes—Ms. Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who was replaced in 1967 by Cindy Birdsong—broke down social barriers and became cultural icons. They were the first American group to have five consecutive No. 1 pop hits, representing Motown as a classic American success story, and were a beacon of African-American beauty and class during a tumultuous decade.

Because it’s “Complete,” the beautifully packaged 3-CD box set also includes the early, though beloved, flops, when the “girls” were known around Motown as the “no-hit Supremes”—among them the rarities “Buttered Popcorn” featuring Flo, and “Your Heart Belongs To Me,” a thinly veiled love letter to a boyfriend in Vietnam issued in 1962, well before the topic was reflected in popular music. It also includes rare alternate pressings, promotional releases including a group interview and a theme to a cult film, plus the much sought-after foreign language singles and more.

Diana Ross & the Supremes - 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969 is housed in packaging similar to the acclaimed series The Complete Motown Singles, accompanied by a booklet filled with detailed information about each single, reproductions of spectacular-looking picture sleeves from around the world, and classic and rare photos of the world’s greatest female group of all time.

Disc One - Bonus Tracks 25-28 - The German Singles
Disc Two - Bonus Tracks 26-28
Disc Three - Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations - Tracks 11, 12, 16, 17, 23, 24
