The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart is the eleventh studio album released by the Supremes for Motown in 1967. The album is wholly composed of covers of show tunes written by the songwriting duo of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. The album's liner notes were written by Gene Kelly. The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart was the final album released before The Supremes' name was changed to "Diana Ross & the Supremes," and member Florence Ballard was replaced by Cindy Birdsong. Recording sessions for the album began in Los Angeles in October 1966, after the Supremes taped the ABC Stage 67 special Rodgers & Hart Today the previous August. Bobby Darin, The Mamas and the Papas, Petula Clark, Count Basie and His Orchestra and the Doodletown Pipers also appeared. Quincy Jones served as musical director. The show first aired on March 2, 1967. Originally intended as a double album, The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart was halved before Motown issued it in May 1967. In 1986, two unreleased tracks from the Rodgers & Hart sessions were included in the Diana Ross & the Supremes' 25th Anniversary collection.
