Comprehensive list! I'm lazy and highlighted/boldened my own favorites. I'd add:
After All
Lazy Bones
[[Ain't That) Good News
Sincerely
Around The World In 80 Days
My Favorite Things
With A Song In My Heart [[from I Hear A Symphony)
Without A Song
Shake Me, Wake Me
[[I Can't Get No) Satisfaction [[this is also a favorite Diana lower register vocal)
My Romance
There's A Small Hotel
Then

More Hits was my first Supremes album and I didn't know Whisper You Love Me Boy and He Holds His Own were remakes. Same with Bah-Bah-Bah. For me, they will always be Supremes songs.
