Right On (The Supremes album)
Right On is the nineteenth studio album by The Supremes, released in 1970 for the Motown label. It was the group's first album not to feature former lead singer Diana Ross. Her replacement, Jean Terrell, began recording "Right On" with Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong in mid-1969, while Wilson and Birdsong were still touring with Ross. Frank Wilson, a former protégé of Motown producer Norman Whitfield, produced much of "Right On", working to establish the "New Supremes" (as Motown began marketing the new Terrell-led lineup) as a group unique from the Ross-led  Supremes. "Right On" features two top 40 singles, "Up the Ladder to the Roof" (#10 Billboard and charting higher than former Supreme Ross' debut solo single a few months later) and "Everybody's Got the Right to Love". Other notable tracks include "Bill, When Are You Coming Back", an anti-Vietnam War song, and "The Loving Country", written by Ivy Jo Hunter and Smokey Robinson. A critical and commercial success, "Right On" reached #25 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, a peak 21 positions higher than the final Diana Ross-led album, "Farewell". Covers. On the album The Supremes  covered "Baby Baby" by The Miracles. "But I Love You More" was also recorded by The Blackberries. Unused recordings from the Right On sessions.
