Aug. 22, 1964 - Taking the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 today was “Where Did Our Love Go,” a recording by the Supremes. It was released as a single on June 17.
Written and produced by Motown’s main production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland, “Where Did Our Love Go” is the first single by the Supremes to hit No. 1.
Initially, the producers argued over who should sing the song because it had been cut in the same key as Mary Wilson’s voice. However, the lead vocal was ultimately assigned to Diana Ross, who recorded it on April 8 of this year.
The Supremes — founded as the Primettes in Detroit in 1959 — are currently on tour as part of Dick Clark’s “American Bandstand Caravan of Stars.”
