Supremes Trivia: What was Diana's first solo recording?

[BayouMotownMan]

I've been listening to a lot of Supremes albums this week and I realized Diana Ross made solo recordings long before she officially left the group.

So then...what was the first recording that Diana Ross made with no vocal accompaniment?

[midnightman]

Hmm...

That's a tough one. I'm sure there are Supremes/Diana experts that know more than me lol

Top of my head guess, "My Christmas Tree" [[mono)?

[BayouMotownMan]

The stereo mix has a backing vocal

[sophisticated_soul]

Right, looks like I need to go deeper than the top of my head.

The First Noel...Or does Diana's spoken dialogue count?

[BayouMotownMan]

The Andantes are all over that Christmas lp

What about "These Boots Were Made for Walking"? That's the earliest I can think of.

I've given it more thought..."With a Song in My Heart" [studio rendition[[s)]?

I Want A Guy Version 1 - On Expanded Edition of Meet The Supremes.

I always thought that was her first solo

The group was always misnamed - it just should have been Diana Ross

[BayouMotownMan]

As best I can tell the first Diana Ross solo recording was Yesterday on the Symphony lp. The liner notes do not indicate a date where backing vocals were laid. From that same lp, With A Song In My Heart was recorded a few days later in late 1965 and was a Diana solo as well

I'm pretty sure there is a solo I Want A Guy on Meet the Supremes expanded; it might even be referred to as a solo
