Aug. 31, 1964 - On sale today is “Where Did Our Love Go,” the second studio album by Motown singing group the Supremes. The album includes several of the group’s singles and B-sides from this year and last.
Included on the album are the title song, which recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, “Baby Love,” and “Come See About Me.”
The Supremes were founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Mich., in 1959. Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, the original members, were all from the Brewster-Douglass public housing project in Detroit. They formed the Primettes as the sister act to the Primes (with Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks, who went on to form the Temptations). Barbara Martin replaced McGlown in 1960, and the group signed with Motown the following year as the Supremes. Martin left the act in early 1962, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson continued as a trio.
