Produced And Arranged By Jimmy Webb

The Supremes Produced and Arranged by Jimmy Webb is the twenty-sixth studio album released by The Supremes on the Motown label in 1972. It stands as a unique entry in The Supremes' discography as it was the only album produced by a non-Motown artist, the accomplished songwriter and producer Jimmy Webb. This album also marked the first appearance of Lynda Laurence, and the final appearance of Jean Terrell as the lead singer of The Supremes during the early 1970s. In the United States, only one single from the album was released, the emotive ballad "I Guess I'll Miss the Man," originally from the musical Pippin. Additionally, the album features renditions of songs outside of Webb's contributions, such as Joni Mitchell's "All I Want," Harry Nilsson's "Paradise," and covers of hits by Bobby Lewis and Mina, specifically "Tossin' and Turnin'" and "Il Voce Del Silenzio" respectively. Released at the same time as Diana Ross' Lady Sings The Blues movie and soundtrack, Motown gave no promotion to this unusual album. It became the group's poorest selling studio album since Meet The Supremes nearly 10 years prior.
