Diana Ross wasn't the strongest vocalist in the Supremes, but as the Motown production team discovered, when she sang in a lower register, her voice worked its sultry magic. When this song was finished, Berry Gordy thought it wasn't catchy enough and sent the group back into the studio. The result: the smoky "Oooooh" right at the start.
