COME SEE ABOUT ME
 
 
“Come See About Me”  is a 1964 song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label.  The song became third of five consecutively released Supremes songs to top the Billboard pop singles chart in the United States (the others are “Where Did Our Love Go”, “Baby Love”, “Stop! In the Name of Love”, and “Back in My Arms Again”).  It topped the chart twice, non-consecutively; toppled by and later replacing The Beatles’ “I Feel Fine” in December 1964 and January 1965.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Holland-Dozier-Holland is a songwriting powerhouse; besides writing some of Motown’s best-known hits, they wrote most of the songs on entire albums for some of the biggest stars on the label.  For the Supremes’ second album Where Did Our Love Go (1964), not only did Holland-Dozier-Holland write the group’s three Number 1 hits that appear on the album (as well as 10 of their 12 Number 1 hits overall) – “Where Did Our Love Go”, “Baby Love”, and “Come See About Me” – they also wrote 5 of the 9 other songs on the album.  About Where Did Our Love GoWikipedia says:  “With the release of this album, the Supremes became the first act in Billboard magazine history to have three number-one hits from the same album.  It was the album that introduced ‘The Motown Sound’ to the masses.  It was also, at the time, the highest ranking album by an all female group.”
