in reading the liner notes to Sing HDH Expanded, there are some more songs identified. in addition to these, some of the other various booklets and L&F sets identify songs originally intended or assigned to the Sups. In some cases, the girls did eventually record vocals. other times they didn't.

One Way Out [[vandellas)
standing in the shadows of love [[four tops)
leave it in the hands of love [[vandellas)
Old love [[four tops)
I'll turn to stone [[four tops)
Heaven must have sent you [[Elgins)
This old heart of mine [[isley brothers)
seeing is believing [[marvelettes)
uptown [[marvellettes)
sunshine days [[marvelettes)

what else?

Until You Love Someone was actually recorded by Sammy Turner before the Four Tops and there is no mention of the girls until after the Tops recorded their version.

Uptown by the way if a cover of the original hit by The Crystals so it would never have been a Supremes hit as a re make
