THE GUEST LIST*Jim Feliciano*APRIL 23, 2020 (date initially having first aired)
“Stoned Love” is a 1970 hit single recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label. It was the last Billboard Pop Top Ten hit for the group, peaking at number seven, and their last Billboard number-one R&B hit as well, although the trio continued to score top ten hits in the UK into 1972. This single and “Up the Ladder to the Roof” are the only top-ten Supremes singles to feature Jean Terrell on lead vocals instead of Diana Ross, who left the group in January 1970 to pursue a solo career. In the UK, it was the post-Ross Supremes’ biggest hit, reaching number 3 in the singles chart. The single spent six weeks in the UK top ten and five weeks in the US top ten.
After a few lines of the song were revised by the producer, “Stoned Love” was recorded during the spring of 1970. The instrumental track was recorded with The Funk Brothers and atleast 30 other session musicians in Detroit at Motown Studio B (the former Golden World studio), while Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson, and Cindy Birdsong recorded their vocals in New York. The song was originally written and recorded as “Stone Love”, but during the process of mixing and releasing, it was mislabeled as “Stoned Love”.
A plea for love and peace similar to those recorded by Sly & the Family Stone in the late 1960s, the lyrics of “Stoned Love” were a plea for the people of the world to end conflict and animosity between each other, specifically the Vietnam War.
The Terrell-led Supremes—now rebranded as “the Supremes;” known unofficially at first as “the New Supremes”, and in later years informally called “The ’70s Supremes”— scored hits including “Up the Ladder to the Roof” (US number 10, UK number 6), “Stoned Love” (US number 7, UK number 3) and “Nathan Jones” (US number 16, UK number 5), all of which were produced by Frank Wilson. These three singles were also R&B Top Ten hits, with “Stoned Love” becoming their last No.1 R&B hit in December 1970.
The Motown songwriting and production team, Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, produced another Top 20 hit for the group It was a Supremes/Four Tops duet version of Ike & Tina Turner’s “River Deep – Mountain High”.
