Encyclopedia
More Hits by The Supremes is a 1965
studio album by Motown singing group The Supremes
. The album, their third regular studio LP, includes two number-one hits: "Stop! In the Name of Love
" and "Back in My Arms Again
", as well as the Top 20 single "Nothing but Heartaches
". The album peaked at #6 on the U.S. album chart and #2 on the R&B album chart. It proved to be another multi-million selling album for the now aptly deemed America's Sweethearts.

.
The opening track was to have been "Always In My Heart," the back side of "Come See About Me," but then "Ask Any Girl" was remixed as a possible A-side single and the remix opened this album. "Mother Dear" originally was to followup "Nothing But Heartaches" as a single but "Heartaches" not making number one spurred the label to seek another musical direction for the next single. "Always In My Heart" surfaced later as "You're Gone (But Always In My Heart)" on the "Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" album (at the suggestion of a fan!). The problem with the title "Always In My Heart" was the royalties were being misreported to the standard tune "Always In My Heart." "Mother Dear" was rearranged with a stop beat and re-recorded but again rejected for single release.
