History Highlight:

Today in 1966, the most successful girl group of all time, The Supremes, had their eighth #1 single, "You Keep Me Hangin' On." Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, the single is a return to rhythm and blues as compared to the Supremes' previous single, "You Can't Hurry Love." The song's signature guitar part originated from a Morse code-like radio signal heard by Lamont Dozier, who collaborated with Brian and Eddie Holland to integrate the idea into the recording.
