The Supremes

The Supremes were an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland. At their peak in the mid-1960s, the Supremes rivaled the Beatles in worldwide popularity, and it is said that their success made it possible for future African American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success.

Founding members Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, all from the Brewster-Douglass public housing project in Detroit, formed the Primettes as the sister act to the Primes (with Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks, who went on to form the Temptations).Barbara Martin replaced McGlown in 1960, and the group signed with Motown the following year as the Supremes. Martin left the act in early 1962, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson carried on as a trio.

    Nathan Jones

    by: Supremes

    You packed your bags
    As I recall
    And you walk slowly down the hall
    You said you have to get away
    To ease your mind
    And all you needed
    Was just a little time
    Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
    You never wrote me
    You never called, oh, oh
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    (gone too long, gone too long)
    If a woman
    Could die of tears
    Nathan Jones, I wouldn't be here
    The key that you're holding
    (Mary)
    Holding
    Won't fit my door
    And there's no room in my heart
    For you no more
    Because, winter's passed, spring, and fall
    You never wrote me (ooh-ooh!)
    You never called, oh, oh, oh
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    (gone too long)
    (Doo-doo-doop!)
    Nathan!
    Hey! Nathan Jones
    Hmmm-mmm
    Nathan Jones!
    Oh, winter's passed, spring, and fall
    You never wrote me (you never wrote me)
    You never called, (you never called) oh, oh
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    Mm-mmm, Mm-mmm, gone too long (gone too long)
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    (gone too long)
    (Mary)
    You've been gone too long
    (Gone too long)
    Hey!
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    (gone too long)
    Oh, you've been gone (gone too long)
    Nathan Jones you've been gone too long
    (gone too long)
