Diana Ross & the Supremes: Greatest Hits Vol. 3 is a 1969 compilation album by Diana Ross & the Supremes, released on the Motown label.[2] It features all of the hits released by the group between 1967 and 1969 save for the Supremes/Temptations duet singles. After Florence Ballard's mid-1967 departure from the group, Supremes singles were recorded by Diana Ross with session singers The Andantes on backgrounds instead of new Supreme Cindy Birdsong and founding member Mary Wilson, including 'Love Child' and 'Someday We'll Be Together' (Birdsong's voice in fact does not appear on this album).
Two of the singles included here, 'Love Is Here and Now You're Gone' and 'The Happening', were also included on Diana Ross & the Supremes: Greatest Hits. That album was a double disc release, and constituted both volumes one and two of the Supremes' greatest-hits series (hence the title of this release).

Diana Ross & the Supremes Sing and Perform 'Funny Girl' is the thirteenth studio album released by Diana Ross & the Supremes on the Motown label, released in 1968. Berry Gordy had Diana Ross & the Supremes cover the songs from Barbra Streisand's Broadway musicalFunny Girloriginal cast LP to tie-in with the September release of the feature-film version of the musical, also starring Streisand.[1] The LP was not a success, and, with a Billboard 200 peak of 150, ranks as the lowest-charting of the Diana Ross-led Supremes albums. It managed to sell over 225,000 US copies, according to Motown data.[2]
It was, however, praised by the composer, Jules Styne as one of the finest renditions of his score after the Broadway cast and movie soundtrack albums[citation needed]. Despite the commercial failure, fans celebrated the release, and the group performed a medley on the Ed Sullivan Show .
Diana continued to perform 'Don't Rain on My Parade' and 'My Man' (equally associated with Fanny Brice), at her solo concerts throughout the 1970s.
Having not previously been released on CD, the album was released for downloading and streaming on April 29, 2014. Besides the original ten songs, every album track has also been remixed for this collection to only include the voices of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong instead of the chorus on the original album. Additionally there a live versions of 'I´m the Greatest Star' (an outtake from 'T.C.B.') and 'My Man (Mon Homme)' (live from Las Vegas).
