"NATHAN JONES" by THE SUPREMES was one of 15 Top 40 Hits by the group post Diana Ross & a unique one, indeed. It reached # 16 on Billboard in 1971 but made it to #5 in the UK. It also featured all three Supremes-Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong & Jean Terrell singing simultaneously on the hit which made for a full sounding composition. THE SUPREMES also had other memorable Top Hits at this time with: "FLOY JOY", "AUTOMATICALLY SUNSHINE", "I GUESS I'LL MISS THE MAN" (FROM THE BROADWAY HIT MUSICAL "PIPPIN'), "UP THE LADDER TO THE ROOF', 'EVERYBODY'S GOT THE RIGHT TO LOVE", "BAD WEATHER -WRITTEN BY STEVIE WONDER FOR THEM), "TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE SUCH SWEET MUSIC", "YOU GOTTA HAVE LOVE IN YOUR HEART", "RIVER DEEP, MOUNTAIN HIGH", "YOUR WONDERFUL SWEET SWEET LOVE", "BILL, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK?", "TOUCH"--A BEAUTIFUL BALLAD, AND THE HUGE HIT: "STONED LOVE".
NO, THE SUPREMES DIDN'T END WITH THE LEAVING OF DIANA ROSS IN 1970. AS YOU CAN SEE--& REMEMBER BY THESE WONDERFUL SONGS--THEY CONTINUED, WITH THE WONDERFUL LEADERSHIP OF MARY WILSON, WITH MANY MORE WONDERFUL YEARS OF HITS!
