| Stop! In the Name of Love The Supremes 1965 (Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.) Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Baby, baby I'm aware of where you go Each time you leave my door I watch you walk down the street Knowing your other love you'll meet But this time before you run to her Leaving me alone and hurt (Think it over) After I've been good to you ? (Think it over) After I've been sweet to you ? Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over I've known of your Your secluded nights I've even seen her Maybe once or twice But is her sweet expression Worth more than my love and affection ? But this time before you leave my arms And rush of to her charms (Think it over) Haven't I been good to you ? (Think it over) Haven't I been sweet to you ? Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Think it over Think it over I've tried so hard, hard to be patient Hoping you'd stop this infatuation But each time you are together I'm so afraid I'll be losing you forever Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Stop! In the name of love Before you break my heart Baby, think it over Think it over, baby Ooh, think it over baby... |
| The greatest girl group ever had its origins in the late 1950s in Detroit's Brewster Projects. The Supremes were not an overnight success story, although it might have seemed that way when they began topping the charts with sure-fire regularity. The trio that would become famous as the Supremes -- Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard -- met in the late '50s in Detroit's Brewster housing project. Originally known as the Primettes, they were a quartet (Barbara Martin was the fourth member) when they made their first single for the Lupine label in 1960. By the time they debuted for Motown in 1961, they had been renamed the Supremes; Barbara Martin reduced them to a trio when she left after their first single. Diana Ross left the group for a successful solo career in 1970 and was replaced by Jean Terrell. After 1972, the lineup of the Supremes changed frequently, with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene all becoming members before the group ended its eighteen-year existence in 1977. |
