Diana Ross & The Supremes topped the US R&B chart for the first of four weeks with their last recording together, aptly titled "Someday We'll Be Together", before Ross moved on to begin her successful solo career. The recording was also to top the US chart later that month.
"Someday We'll Be Together" was the final number at the Diana Ross & the Supremes' farewell concert on January 14, 1970 at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. After the completion of the show, Jean Terrell was presented onstage to the audience as Diana Ross' replacement, and "Diana Ross & the Supremes" officially split apart, becoming the new "The Supremes."
Ross reunited with Wilson and Birdsong in 1983, performing the single for the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special.
"Someday" charted at no.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 popular singles chart for one week, on December 27, 1969. It also charted at no.1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart for four weeks, from December 13, 1969 to January 3, 1970. "Someday We'll Be Together" therefore appeared in Billboard as both the final Hot 100 and R&B no.1 of the 1960s, and as the first R&B no.1 of the 1970s.

Okay okay, I'll come clean. I do have a soft spot for old Motown artists and songs. Diana Ross was very good......until she got hooked up with old MJ. Lol Must had been the old age

She did start to look like a deer caught in the headlights around that era, didn't she?! My favourite song of hers is "Love Child".
