Younger people may well only have heard this done by Phil Collins, but when I was young, the Supremes just couldn’t go wrong. Hit after hit it seemed to be and of course – those choreographed routines that might seem a little bit cheesy now but which were typical of so many of the Motown stars of the day (and we loved them)!
