In 1966, the Supremes joined numerous popular artists at the time to film a TV special called "Rodgers & Hart Today" where they performed the timeless and classics songs of the Rodgers & Hart songbook. Berry Gordy, along with Gil Askey, teamed up to record an album for the Supremes singing the Rodgers & Hart songbook and for it to coincide with the airing of the TV special. The girls recorded over 26 songs with Motown planning to release the album as a 2-LP set. However it was cut down to just 12 songs with the other 14 recordings remaining in the Motown vaults until the 1980's. "The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart" was released in May 1967 to critical acclaim. Ranging from big band to jazz to the modern sounds of Motown, the album proved the Supremes could sing anything. It was versatility at its finest.
