#1 Song of the Week

Someday We'll Be Together - Diana Ross and The Supremes
(1 week at #1) December 1969

This was the last of 12 #1 singles for the Supremes but also the last official #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 1960s.
Originally not a Supremes single, this was to be Diana Ross' first solo single release but as such was released as Diana Ross and The Supremes even though only Diana herself sang on the record.

This final song from the Supremes also went to #1 on the Billboard R & B Chart (4 consecutive weeks) as well as reaching #13 on the UK Top 40.
