Stubborn Kind of Fellow
Diana Ross and the Supremes with the Temptations Lyrics
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing it for me, fellows, now
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I try to put my arms around you
All because I want to hold you tight
But every time I reach for you, baby, try to kiss you
You just jump clean out of sight
And, oh, I've got news for you
I guess you're just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
Everybody, say it
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
One more time
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm gonna love you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you in every way)
I say I'm gonna love, girl, you in every way
(Gonna love you, gonna love you in every way)
Now, other girls are falling
And I'm waiting for the moment
But I need you to stay by my side
I know you've heard about me
Bad things about me
Baby, please let me explain
I have kissed a few (baby, baby)
Many a few have kissed me, too
I guess I'm just a stubborn kind of fellow
Got my mind made up to love you
(Love you, love you)
Everybody, say
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, sing it, everybody, now
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, say yeah, yeah, yeah

Issued by Motown in late 1968 to coincide with the broadcast of the Supremes/Temptations TCB television special, the album was a success, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200. Originally the lead single was to have been "The Impossible Dream" as featured in the climax to the TV spectacular TCB. However, it was decided to release "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" as a single instead even though it wasn't featured on TCB. This became a number-two hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B singles chart, and the follow-up, "I'll Try Something New", was a Top 30 hit. A third single, "I Second That Emotion", was released exclusively in the United Kingdom, where it became a Top 20 hit.
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.

Will Common, you're the best, you seem to have everything that Temptation ever did, thank you so much, you have made me aware of how much I have missed from them, this whole album being one of them!!
John Anders
This is a piece of crap and Motown should have never unleashed thissad piece of tU kniw what on a unsuspecting public. Let this stay buried I during this time was up on everything the Tempts did, boy am I glad this one slipped through the cracks.
Norma J.
I'm so grateful to you:)
Will Common
Norma Harris why thank you! That’s the main goal on my channel. I took a few years collecting all their albums. Which wasn’t always easy cause albums like this one haven’t been remastered on cd yet. But I see your comments quite frequently and glad you’re enjoying the music. There’s plenty more to come my friend!
