Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations marks the first on-record appearance of new Temptations lead singer Dennis Edwards, who was brought in as David Ruffin's replacement in July 1968.
All of the tracks on the album are covers of songs for other artists. Both "I Second That Emotion" and "I'll Try Something New" were originally recorded by Motown's Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, while "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" was an outside hit for Dee Dee Warwick before it became a hit for the Supremes and Temptations. Motown's Marvin Gaye had previously had hits with "Try It Baby" and, as a duet with Tammi Terrell, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". "This Guy's in Love with You" was a hit for Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass , while "Funky Broadway" had been recorded as a hit for Wilson Pickett. The Sweet Inspirations' signature song, "Sweet Inspirations", is also covered here, as is Stevie Wonder's "A Place in the Sun", The Four Tops' "Then", and the show tune "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha.
Frank Wilson served as executive producer of the project. Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations, joint-recorded at both the main Hitsville USA studio in Detroit, Michigan, the Golden World studio in Detroit, and satellite studios in Los Angeles, primarily features leads by Diana Ross of the Supremes and Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations, with additional leads by Temptations Dennis Edwards, Paul Williams, Otis Williams, and Melvin Franklin.
I Know I'm Losing You
Diana Ross and the Supremes with the Temptations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel your love fading
Girl it's fading away from me
Cause your touch,your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh baby, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's everywhere.
Oh baby I'm losing you (Losing you)
When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I'm hurtin', downhearted and worried girl,
Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's taken my place
Oh baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness inside,
Oh I can tell I'm losing you.
I don't want to lose you
Oh, I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Oh, little girl I'm losing you
Girl I can feel it in my bones
In a day you'll be gone
Oh baby, I'm losing you
Oh my dear
What happened to the love we shared
Oh oh baby I'm losing you
I know it's true
There's someone new
Oh baby baby baby, I'm losing you
Dear Diana Ross and the Supremes with the Temptations, I am here to discuss the meaning behind your song "I Know I'm Losing You". The song is about a man who is feeling his love fade away from his girlfriend. He realizes that her touch has grown cold and that someone else seems to control her soul. He feels like he has been fooling himself for a while and can sense the presence of another man when she speaks his name. He can tell that she is losing interest in him and that there is emptiness inside her. The man is hurting, downhearted, and worried because he can see the reflection of a different face in her eyes, and he knows that he is losing her. He doesn't want to lose her, but he can feel it in his bones that she will be gone soon.
The lyrics in "I Know I'm Losing You" describe the emotional and painful situation of a man who is aware that his relationship is coming to an end. The song conveys the sense of helplessness and desperation felt by someone who can't change the situation. It's a powerful song that captures the sense of loss, love, and betrayal, and the pain that a person experiences when they realize they are losing the one they love.

Yes! I always loved watching these two groups on Ed's show. I still remember the world premier of the Temptations doing Runaway Child on Ed's show.
