Nov. 1964 – The Supremes reign supreme with Baby Love
This month in music history – 50 Years Ago.
The Supremes reign supreme with their hit single Baby Love. It was on the Billboard pop singles chart in the United States from October 25, 1964 through November 21, 1964. The song Baby Love was written and produced by the Motown trio Holland/Dozier/Holland. Diana Ross performed the lead vocals, with Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson singing background.
It’s a song whose lyrics many 50+ year old people can sing from memory as they may have heard their parents singing it. However in case you forgot, the lyrics are written below. Play the video, listen to the music and enjoy the walk down memory lane.

I need you, oh how I need you
But all you do is treat me bad
Break my heart and leave me sad
Tell me, what did I do wrong
To make you stay away so long’Cause baby love, my baby love
Been missing ya, miss kissing ya
Instead of breaking up
Let’s do some kissing and making up
Don’t throw our love away
In my arms why don’t you stay
Need ya, need ya
Baby love, ooh, baby love Baby love, my baby love
Why must we separate, my love
All of my whole life through
I never loved no one but you
Why you do me like you do
I get this need Ooh, ooh, need to hold you
Once again, my love
Feel your warm embrace, my love
Don’t throw our love awayPlease don’t do me this way
Not happy like I used to be
Loneliness has got the best of me
My love, my baby loveI need you, oh how I need you
Why you do me like you do
After I’ve been true to you
So deep in love with you
Baby, baby, ooh ’til it’s hurtin’ me
‘Til it’s hurtin’ me
Ooh, baby love
Don’t throw our love away
Don’t throw our love away
