Right On (The Supremes album)

1

Right On is the nineteenth studio album by The Supremes, released in 1970 for the Motown label. It was the group's first album not to feature former lead singer Diana Ross. Her replacement, Jean Terrell, began recording Right On with Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong in mid-1969, while Wilson and Birdsong were still touring with Ross. Frank Wilson, a former protégé of Motown producer Norman Whitfield, produced much of Right On, working to establish the "New Supremes" (as Motown began marketing the new Terrell-led lineup) as a group unique from the Ross-led Supremes. Right On features the top 10 single "Up the Ladder to the Roof" and the top 40 single "Everybody's Got the Right to Love". Other notable tracks include "Bill, When Are You Coming Back", an anti-Vietnam War song, and "The Loving Country", written by Ivy Jo Hunter and Smokey Robinson. A critical and commercial success, Right On reached #25 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, a peak 21 positions higher than their previous album, Farewell. On the album The Supremes covered "Baby Baby" by The Miracles. "But I Love You More" was also recorded by The Blackberries.
