"The Supremes Produced and Arranged by Jimmy Webb" is the twenty-sixth studio album by The Supremes, released on the Motown label in 1972. It stands out in the group's discography as it was produced and primarily written by Jimmy Webb, a notable songwriter and producer outside of the Motown stable. This album also marked the final appearance of Jean Terrell as the lead singer of The Supremes during the early 1970s.
In the United States, the album produced only one single, the emotive ballad "I Guess I'll Miss the Man," originally from the musical "Pippin." The album also includes renditions of songs from outside Webb's contributions, such as Joni Mitchell's "All I Want," Harry Nilsson's "Paradise," and covers of hits by Bobby Lewis ("Tossin' and Turnin'") and Mina ("La voce del silenzio").
This album represents a departure from The Supremes' typical Motown sound, exploring different musical influences and showcasing Webb's unique production style. Despite its distinctive approach, it remains a significant part of The Supremes' catalog and a testament to their versatility as artists.
