British soul singer Dusty Springfield wanted to record the song but the duo declined, hoping it would give them access to the Detroit - based label. As Valerie Simpson later recalled, `` We played that song for her ( Springfield ) but would n't give it to her, because we wanted to hold that back. We felt like that could be our entry to Motown. Nick called it the ' golden egg '. '' Dusty recorded a similar verse melody in ' I 'm Gonna Leave You ' on Dusty. The original 1967 version of `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' was a top twenty hit. According to record producers, Terrell was a little nervous and intimidated during recording because she did not rehearse the lyrics. Terrell recorded her vocals alone with producers Harvey Fuqua and Johnny Bristol, who added Gaye 's vocal at a later date. `` Ai n't No Mountain '' peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard pop charts, and went to number three on the R&B charts. This original version of `` Ai n't No Mountain '', produced by Fuqua and Bristol, was a care - free, danceable, and romantic love song that became the signature duet between Gaye and Terrell. Its success led to a string of more Ashford / Simpson penned duets ( including `` You 're All I Need to Get By '', `` Ai n't Nothing Like the Real Thing '', and `` Your Precious Love '' ). The Gaye / Terrell version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and is regarded today as one of the most important records ever released by Motown. The Supremes and Temptations version Diana Ross & The Supremes recorded a version of `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' which was more faithful to the Terrell - Gaye original version as a duet with The Temptations. That song was an album cut from a joint LP released by Motown Records in 1968 on the two superstar groups, titled Diana Ross & the Supremes Join The Temptations. Diana Ross solo version `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' Single by Diana Ross from the album Diana Ross B - side `` Ca n't It Wait Until Tomorrow '' Released July 16, 1970 Format 7 - inch single Recorded March 13, 14, and 18, 1970 Studio Hitsville USA ( Studio A ), Detroit, Michigan Genre Soul Length 6 : 18 ( album version ) 3 : 32 ( single version ) Label Motown ( M 1169 ) Songwriter ( s ) Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson Producer ( s ) Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson Diana Ross singles chronology `` Reach Out and Touch ( Somebody 's Hand ) '' ( 1970 ) `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' ( 1970 ) `` Remember Me '' ( 1970 ) `` Reach Out and Touch ( Somebody 's Hand ) '' ( 1970 ) `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' ( 1970 ) `` Remember Me '' ( 1970 ) In late 1969, after the Top 20 success of her first solo single, `` Reach Out and Touch ( Somebody 's Hand ) '', Ashford and Simpson had Ross re-record `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough ''. Initially, Ross was apprehensive, but was convinced to make the recording. The remake was similar to gospel with elements of classical music strings ( provided by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra ), spoken word passages from Ross, with The Andantes, Jimmy Beavers, Jo Armstead, Ashford & Simpson and Brenda Evans and Billie Calvin of The Undisputed Truth as backing singers, giving the song a soul and gospel vocal element. Motown chief Berry Gordy did not like the record upon first hearing it. He hated the spoken - word passages and wanted the song to begin with the climactic chorus / bridge. It was not until radio stations nationwide were editing their own versions and adding it to their playlists that Ashford and Simpson were able to convince Gordy to release an edited three - minute version as a single. Ross ' version of `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' rose up to number one on both the pop and R&B singles charts. Ross received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. This version is in the key of C minor for most of the song, then towards the end, the key changes to F sharp major. In 2017, `` Ai n't No Mountain High Enough '' was remixed by Eric Kupper, StoneBridge, and Chris Cox, amongst others, on Motown / UMe. The new remix went to number one on the Billboard US Dance Club Songs chart.
