- This is the album version of the b-side to the 8th #1 hit by Motown group The Supremes entitled "You Keep Me Hangin' On"
This song was first released in 1966 as the b-side to the song stated above. It was then featured on their 1967 album "The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland". The album not only featured 2 #1s from the group, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" and "Love Is Here And Now Youre Gone" but also covers of other Motown artists' hits that Holland-Dozier-Holland had written and produced. The album also features the very popular b-side "There's No Stopping Us Now" and the potential a-side "Going Down For The Third Time" that was the b-side to "Reflections" (that was featured on the 1968 album of the same name.
"The Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland" was somewhat of a tribute to HDH and their great songwriting and producing abilities as they had written all The Supremes hits from "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" to "Forever Came Today" with 10 of those hits rising to #1.

My favorite B sided tunes ever
"Each time we meet, you make me feel so incomplete..." I could feel those lyrics, how they touched me then and still do now. Dozier smiled at me and said, "Yeah!" I told him that although my big sister Rosemary, later mother to rock singer/guitarist Maria Webster, bought and loved her 45 "You Keep Me Hanging On," when she was not around, I had to turn the record over and play the other side, "Remove This Doubt." That was/is MY song, Flo, Mary and Diane were/are singing this song just for me.
This was an old Supremes recording! It surfaced on the album years after it was recorded. I would like the world to know I'm the reason "Always in My Heart," which was supposed to be on "More Hits by the Supremes" finally made L.P. in the H-D-H album. I wrote a letter to Motown pointing on the record never got onto L.P., got a very nice reply from a company vice president, and bingo bango it appeared on the Supremes' next album, the H-D-H opus.
You must have been very pleasantly surprised when it showed up on the H-D-H album!
In the 90's I was invited by my old MCA Records boss Cary E. Mansfield to an LA songwriters conference that featured panelist Lamont Dozier; at the question and answer period, I specifically asked Dozier how he and the Holland Brothers wrote the lyrical pain to make Diana sing, "It's hurting me, it's hurting me.." At the end of the conference, Dozier approached me about my question and asked me to sing some of it; "Oh my God," I thought, "this is my Motown audition." I closed my eyes and sang...
Back in the day, this song went straight to my heart and it still does right today. Man those were the good days...romantic and sweet & tender memories.
Yes certainly one of the Best B side recording ever. This was definitely a great hit in bed stuy Brooklyn in the middle 60's. Every young girl just knew she could sing it.
this song is really good! i have the album its a great album this song deserves much more airplay
each time we meet you make me feel so incomplete there's no joy in the air, I just don't think you care. get it Supremes.
what a surprise when I brought the 45 back in 6th grade and discovered a more mature adult sound of The Supremes. A lot of depth here, and the arrangement serves to emphasize the haunting tone ... makes this a timeless song for the ages. HDH had feelings where some people only have empty places.
One of the best B-sides of music history. I've listened to the song as many times as the famous and fantastic A-side. Motown had the best B-sides in the world.
When you bought a Supremes 45 rpm, especially, you really got your money's worth. 11/2019
THIS IS REAL MUSIC! RARE STUFF NOW DAYS TO SEE HOW GOOD MUSIC REALLY WAS THE SUPREMES ARE THE QUEENS OF POP/RNB! I LOVE THIS SONG!
Wow!!! I haven't heard this song in over 30 years. I love this song a lot. This was the flip side to "You Keep Me Hanging On", another great song. Thanks for posting this.
I've always loved this song and it is a shame it did not get any air play on the radio back in the day. " Ask Any Girl" was another one of my favorites. I feel that Remove this doubt was a heart thump and very touching.
I have to admit that I've never been a big fan of The Supremes, but I heard this playing in a record store today and I was totally blown away by how haunting the arrangement is. The harmonies created between Diana Ross' arching delivery, The Supremes chorus so far back in the mix, and the strings is just breathtaking.
This is one of those songs that prove that Berry knew exactly what he was doing, and where the girls strengths were. Flo in the background was no less vital to this hauntingly beautiful ballad than Diana in the lead. It simply would not have worked the other way around. I don't even think the girls fully understood this placing of their vocals, or there would have been less animosity over who sang leads. Such a shame. Hard to imagine, but they could have done so much more than they did.
This song is so beautiful and I agree with you. The end gives me chills.
WHO COULD EVER DOUBT MY LOVE and GOING DOWN FOR THE THIRD TIME are two of my favourite Supremes b-sides - along with BUT I LOVE YOU MORE and TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE SUCH SWEET MUSIC (from the Jean Terrel led lineup)
Thanks to you Jonathan for posting this jewel.
Best regards from Spain.
one of the best break up slow jams EVER ... thank you HDH and Supremes ... still get shivers down my spine ... " be sweet and not discreet" ... oh my ...
cried the 1st time I ever heard it & it still has the same effect after all these years!
the intro alone does it for me!
What?!! "...best...ever..." ?? WTF!? It's ALBUM FILLER and was actually a B-side! It's nothing more. Some people!
@@ronrossmore211 To some people out there, these songs have a special meaning to them and they feel that it is the best ever. I'm sure songs that you think that should be the best ever don't mean the same to others.
@@ronrossmore211. Your response was Some people! And you also said WTF! I suggest you read your previous response. And you said it was a album filler, I'm saying so what if it is a album filler.
One of my favorite Supremes flipsides, released as the B side of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" -
I just love this song. Its was one of the few b sides i use to play.
=D
It's nice to know people appreciate the instrumentation as much as they do the vocals =)
This is one of my Top 5 Supremes Songs ever. Someone tagged me as the ultimate sentimentalist, LOL. More truth than they know. One thing's for sure, I love good slow jams, and this is one of 'em.
I was watching a history video and this song was playing in the background. I immediately recognized the voice and searched for the video. As a child, Diana Ross was and still is my favorite artist and anytime the lady was on a television show, I had a ring side seat to watch her performance. Lol even now if she’s making an appearance on T.V., I rush to watch. She's also my dad's favorite singer. Wow! And the song is so smooth. I'm constantly pressing the replay button.
Well, you missed the main event, THE SUPREMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just love love love the vibrata from flo at 2:32
She Did That Ending Very Well
I bought the album at Woolworth's in 1969. I was 11 at the time. My mom had just taken us to see HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. Then she took us to Woolworth's for banana splits from the Woolworth Grill. I remember this like it was yesterday. I played this album to death on my old record changer. So where is the album today? It is in a photo frame, especially made for record albums, and will hang on my wall again, once I move. I bought 10 of those frames. HOLLAND DOZIER HOLLAND album made it into one of the 10. Says a lot for this album, in my head.
i Believe You.. Bought Mines At United Dollar Store.. Great Times
For the record the flip of "Baby Love" was "Ask Any Girl." There was some consideration of reissuing it as an A side following "Back in My Arms Again" and it was remastered to push Diana's lead forward and to shorten the length of the record. It was included on "More HIts by the Supremes" replacing at the last minute "Always in My Heart." "Ask Any GIrl" then became the topic of a lawsuit from Motown against the Len Barry song "One Two Three" because of a similar melody. Motown won.
THE BEST. FLO TEARS IT UP ON THE END. THAT'S WHY THEY CALL THE SUPREMES
It is the b-side of You Keep Me Hangin' on. I got it from my aunt who lived in Frisco at the time (65 or so). My brother and I, very young admittedly, always preferred this side of the record.
@jimmiearm Yes. Most certainly one of their more heart-felt recordings. As soon as you hear that intro from the orchestra, you know you're in for a treat! =D Thanks for commenting.
Absolutely sublime....
Haha =D This is one of their best b-sides/album tracks =D
Thanks for commenting.
Have a wonderfully FLOriffic day - it's her b'day today
I think this is their best track ever both together and solo ones . i love it and think it should have been a single
This probably could have been a hit record.
@@curtbonnell4308 We Will Never Know.. There Were Songs That Mary and Florence Could Have Sing As Fillers.... Just Because Diane Sang Lead.. Didn't Mean That Florence and Mary Couldn't Sing Lead...There Contract Was They Were The SUPRMES .. Berry Guided It Every Step Of The Way... Just Like The Temptations ..The Marvelettes..The Four Tops... Martha and The Vandellas Were The Only and First Female Group To Be Sign As A Lead and Background
One of my favorites-Thank you so much
Was a little girl when this came out. Loved it then still do. They were great when they were The Supremes.
I cry every time I hear this song.The good old days! Diana,Mary and Florence. The Supremes forever!
so do I!
Yes it really is.
Diana sounds heavenly and Flo (in particular) sounds soo haunting in the backing (especially at the end).
One of The Supremes' finest.
Thanks for commenting.

My God..the perfection in this! Glad I randomly started to continue my Supremes journey by collecting the LPs, otherwise I might have never discovered this gem. These girls were special. Gifts to us.
Never in my life have I heard a voice like 1960s Diana Ross. The sonic equivalent to a diamond glistening in the sun. You can walk into any Southern black church and hear a Glady’s Knight or Jennifer Hudson (there are aplenty). But I have never heard a unique voice like Diana Ross, particularly her H-D-H work. Unique.
I remember very vividly how impressed I was by this swift slow-jam Supreme B-side. Such a good contrast to “You keep me hanging on”. PWG
Yeah this has beautifully instrumentals and vocals.
not even from my generation, but what a beautiful song I love the Supremes!
@bze2nlz1 You're welcome Chris! My Uncle Stevie gave me a bunch of 45 singles back in '71 when I was only 9 and "You Keep Me Hanging On" was one of them, and "Remove This Doubt" was the B-Side. I liked to listen to the B-Sides of singles just to hear an additional song. I'm glad you like this. There's more where that came from :)
ENJOY THIS SONG,I WAS 13YRS.OLD WHEN I FIRST PLAYED THIS SONG.LIVED IN SAN PEDRO,CA. GREAT TIMES
I completely agree with you on this point and appreciate you making it. Also, thanks for posting the great music!
Like "My World is Empty Without You" does, "Remove This Doubt" has a way of hypnotizing you and putting you in a mood where you're just still and contemplative. It's such a beautiful song. I prefer it to the A-side that followed it, "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone."
Tears for Mary Wilson...
I like it. LIke to know if there is any video of it.
Great Motown sound and Diana is in fine voice!
Classic that all I can say ..classic
I rarely played b sides . This was one I did play I loved it , my sister and cousin hated it. This and the Temptations you’re not an ordinary girl. Favorite b sides . Was gonna add Stevie wonders I don’t know why I love you but that was the A side everybody liked the b side- my Cherie amour
I always find it interesting when the B-side became more popular than the A-side.
My favourite Supremes track ever its marvelous
fantastic song I love these girls!
@waynebrasler I thought I was the only one who noticed the mix was different on the the two versions of Ask Any Girl (the one from WDOLG and More Hits). To be honest, I think the first album mix was a lot better (and clearer) than the More Hits one :P
PRECIOSA CANCIÓN.
I agree it really is breathtaking, pure perfection this song is.
Thanks for commenting.

wow just wow
Aw thanks so much =)
I made a nerw vid for Flo's amazing version of OH HOLY NIGHT recorded while she was a Supreme. I
did post it a while back when I had my JonathanLGardner account but UA-cam removed it.
They have been unblocking quite a lot of Supremes vids according to my friend Marvin (individuell83) so I might start posting more - including my new video for Holy Night =)
@tomtomnhollywood I doubt it, this was a b-side and I'm yet to see a video of them performing a b-side live (not even their most popular ones) - a shame as they've had some great b-sides.
Thanks for commenting =)

@1962drob I don't remember this song, but it is a nice one...thanks for sharing, Dean!
That beginning was the sample to the Masta Ace, Problemaddicts Hurting song
Dam Who was Diana singing to. Berry Gordy? Always loved this song. Supremes forever.
@glassjaw2840 No problem. Thanks for commenting =)

RIP mary...
love the pic at 2:13.granny be proud
I agree that this is a better song than THE HAPPENING - however I think that was released to promote the film (as it was the theme tune to it)
yaaaaaassss
No problem. This is just a repost of the vid I had up before youtube deleted my JonathanLGardner account.
Thanks for commenting.
Have a wonderfully s u p r e m e day.
Beautifully said =)
Thanks for commenting.

@waynebrasler Ahhh yes because wasn't it originally the b-side to Baby Love? The song is one of the best on the album...as there is a bit too much filler on the album for my liking...a feel the album could have been a lot better in places...but still good overall :)
Was it taken from the "Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland Album in 1967?
That's because this song was not a hit. It was a hit financially, but not market wise
Holland-Dozier-Holland were geniuses =D
Thanks for commenting.
- JLG (JonathanLGardner)
The Hollands and Lamont Dozier actually wanted to use Mary and Florence on lead with the hope they would at least find their way into the albums but did not get the opportunity. It didn't help that when Diana found Mary or Florence were recording leads she invariably caused a fuss. She didn't have to; her voice always would be the one on singles. But she seemed to have no ability to think beyond herself. That blessedly changed as she matured and became more thoughtful of others.
I thought listening to this as Diana screeched thru this, either Mary or Flo at this point would have been a better fit . It was a B side with nooooo chart potential.
HDH wanted to use florence especially on leads for some of their songs but gordy wouldnt hear of it. the early smokey robinson songs would have been better suited to marys voice. gordy only saw one star in the supremes.
The fact that Diana was fucking the boss didn't hurt.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…...Yes!
B-Sides Did Have Potentials.. The Songs Were Climbing To The Charts With The A-Side
No problem =)
Thanks for commenting - I am about to post a new video (like now - so look out for that)

Most definately =)

i love the pic at 2:14
@jimmiearm Unfortunately the radios only play The Supremes most annoying hits (like Baby Love) totally ignoring their more mature and refined recordings like this one =) Thanks for commenting.
@jimmiearm If glee covered it I'm sure it would even make it to the top of pop hits
Their B sides were as good as their A sides.
I like the song, but was never crazy about the arrangement of the background vocals.
Here because of nightwing.
I never liked the backgrounds on Always in My Heart. Mary's voice is way too loud and rough.
CHICAGO STEPPERS SET.
Glad you enjoy it, but hearttaking? Never heard that before =P
Thanks for commenting.

It is the b-side of You Keep Me Hangin' on. I got it from my aunt who lived in Frisco at the time (65 or so). My brother and I, very young admittedly, always preferred this side of the record
