Love Child | Diana Ross & The Supremes | Motown | November and December |
One hardly hears "Love Child" these days, but it was the hottest song of 1968...The Supremes were an immensely popular group, and the fact that they chose to sing a song about another out-of-wedlock bastard did not in one bit deter from their popularity! More power to them!!!
