"YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON" THE SUPREMES (1967)

As I took my kids to a Halloween scavenger hunt with some families at Diana Ross Playground in Central Park, a thought occurred to me. It’s about time I paid a little homage to one of the all-time great female trios. Hearing “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” again, I’m reminded of the bravado and sass that was The Supremes. Years later, I wonder why I never drew the connection and spotted the obvious inspiration they forged for later acts, especially the 80’s girl group Bananarama.

“Set me free why don't cha babe.”
