1965 | "Back in My Arms Again" is a 1965 hit song recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, "Back in My Arms Again" was the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for one week, from June 6, 1965 to June 12, 1965. It was also the last of five Supremes songs in a row to go #1 (the others are "Where Did Our Love Go," "Baby Love," "Come See About Me," and "Stop! In the Name of Love"). The record is notable for being one of the first Motown records recorded using an eight-track mixing console, developed and manufactured in-house by the studio engineers. Motown was the first record label to make regular use of eight-track recording equipment, which later became an industry standard. In the lyrics to the song, lead singer Diana Ross is singing about how taking the advice of her two best friends led to the break-up of her and her boyfriend; but now he is "back in her arms again." She gives the names of the guilty parties as "Mary" and "Flo;" a reference to her bandmates Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard, who sing background vocals on the song. "Back in My Arms Again" was included on the Supremes' sixth album, More Hits By The Supremes. Credits
