'Back in My Arms Again' marked a change for the Supremes
The Supremes' "Back in My Arms Again" hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart 50 years ago today.
It set a record for being the fifth straight single released by the Supremes to top the charts.
In an unusual move for the time, Motown Records decided to highlight the individual members of the group on this release.
Each of their signatures are featured prominently on the record cover — and Diana Ross name-checks Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard in the lyrics.
