"Someday We'll Be Together"

The official Motown title for this song is "Someday We'll Be Together" with no commas. --b. Touch 01:36, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I believe I hear male backing vocals at points throughout this song. Is there any info on this male vocalist? I've provided some lyrics as an example:

DR: Diana Ross
S: Maxine and Julia Waters
MV: Unidentified male vocals

S: Someday we'll be together.
DR: Ahhh, Say, say, say it, say it again. (MV: Do tell)
S: Someday we'll be together.
DR: Oh, yeah, oh yeah.

DR:
You're far away,
From me my love. (MV: Baby)
And just as sure my, my baby,
As there are stars above,
I wanna say, I wanna say, I wanna say, (MV: Yeah)

Male vocal backing vocals/ad-libs are by Johnny Bristol. I've since added multiple references in the main discography page, for the backing vocals on this song and others which feature additional or replacement backing vocals vocalists JonathanLGardner (talk) 01:47, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Just a question.... as the main article is "The Supremes", shouldn't this article be titled "The Supremes discography"? - eo 13:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't agree more. Also, is there a reason why the link to "This Is The Story...Vol.1" redirects to the full discography? Is it a mistake or hasn't anyone uploaded the information yet? I have it...Dollvalley 17:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Album Date

Someone please change where did our love go album back to 1964 since most the songs weren't record in 1964.Saimaroimaru 2008 (talk) 00:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The album, "Where Did Our Love Go?" was released on the 30th/31st of August, 1964. Hence, by definition and default, all the songs herein had to have been recorded prior to August of 1964. Some of the songs date back to 1962 and 1963 and finally, 1964. In reality, "Where Did Our Love Go?" was actually The Supremes Greatest Hits from 1962 - 1964 since "Come See About Me" was released in October of 1964. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spenser - The Unknown (talk • contribs) 18:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your information is correct. "Where Did Our Love Go?" was a compilation of recordings from 1962 - 1864. "More Hits By The Supremes" was a more contemporary album as most of the songs were recorded during the time frame of "Stop In The Name Of Love" and "Back In My Arms Again".

changed back

I changed back the chart to its orginal form, alot of info such as disco chartings and ac chartings were left out. While its not diana singing its apart of the supremes history i appreciate it if you putting back to your version you include all info not just some.74.178.200.105 (talk) 04:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The A/C information was minimal and the disco chart positions were completely wrong/fake (Supremes have never topped the U.S. dance chart). I really cleaned it up for formatting reasons.... basically it was a mess. I've reverted and will double-check chart information and add columns if appropriate. If the chart histories don't match I'm going to leave them off. - eo (talk) 10:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that several of the wikilinks needed updating, which I corrected. - eo (talk) 10:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Dance Chart

False chart positions have appeared here more than once; I don't know where they are coming from — at least it is not specified in this article. Per Joel Whitburn's Hot Dance Disco 1974-2003 (ISBN 0-89820-156-X), based on Billboard magazine's dance/club chart, the Supremes only have four chart entries:

1976 "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking" — #3
1976 "High Energy" — #9
1976 "You're My Driving Wheel" / "Let Yourself Go" / "Love I Never Knew" — #5 (charted together, which was allowed at the time)
1980 "Medley of Hits" — #46

Errors on this page are in turn prompting people to incorrectly add the Supremes to the List of artists who reached number one on the U.S. dance chart‎ article. - eo (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further problems? Cash Box magazine

The link provided in the singles table for the Cash Box is not very useful anymore, many of the links on that website return "404 Object Not Found" errors. Specifically I'm questioning the peak positions of "When the Lovelight..." (#2) and "Run Run Run" (#22). There are huge differences in the positions here between Billboard and Cash Box. Seriously, #2 for "Lovelight"? That doesn't seem correct to me. Is there an alternate place for the Cash Box positions to be verified? - eo (talk) 18:07, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind - found the problem in a past version of the page. Those two were accidentally moved over from the R&B column. Fixed. - eo (talk) 18:37, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "Lovelight" did go to #2 on the "R & R" charts but only to #23 on the Billboard Charts. Spenser - The Unknown (talk) 01:11, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International Supremes

I have done a major re-format of all the tables, added mising references for the US charts and also expanded the tables with Belgium, Netherlands and Norway chart history for the group. Article still needs a reference for the group's Australian chart history as well as the Shelved albums section. Additionally, the article could do with a Box Sets section as per The Beatles discography as so many of the 1960s albums have been re-released in expanded form. JonathanLGardner (talk) 22:02, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

US Record World and Cashbox

The reference for the entire US Record World chart history is not specific to The Supremes, linking to a landing page of the entire archives. It isn't easy to verify any chart positions without spending hours searching through scans of each issue. Should these be removed? As for Cashbox singles charts, the individual single pages have citations linking to the week-specific chart verifying the song's peak position. Thus, I am adding these to the citation so these can be easily verified by browsers without searching through the archives. JonathanLGardner (talk) 12:17, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why GAN?

Unless there is a good reason not to, discographies are usually submitted as Featured list candidates, rather than Good article nominees (see WP:DISCOGS and WP:Good article criteria#What cannot be a good article?). —Ojorojo (talk) 15:32, 16 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
