Ross, Diana & The Supremes: Love Child LP

The fifteenth studio album released by Diana Ross & the Supremes for the Motown label, released in 1968. This was the group's first studio LP (excepting covers and tribute albums) not to include any songs written or produced by any member of the Holland–Dozier–Holland production team. Motown CEO Berry Gordy assembled a team to create a hit single for The Supremes. The result was "Love Child", which returned the group to the Billboard Hot 100's number-one position. Staff producers such as Smokey Robinson, Harvey Fuqua, and Johnny Bristol also contributed to the album. Love Child received a **** rating in AllMusic, with reviewer Jason Elias stating that, “this offers the late-'60s Motown sound without gimmicks and is more than recommended.”
