Motown sent out the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" on July 25, 1966, the second single lifted from The Supremes A' Go-Go, and it turns the oldest advice in the romance book, that love won't be rushed, into pure pop uplift. Holland–Dozier–Holland, the label's production team of Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland and Eddie Holland, wrote and produced it.
It went all the way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and also made the UK top five and the Australian top 10. Later lists have been kind to it: Billboard put it at 19 in its all-time ranking of girl-group songs, and the BBC's Top 100 Digital Motown Chart, built from UK downloads and streams, has it at 16.
