    Possibilities:
    Both the Marvelettes & Ruby & the Romantics released When You're Young and In Love as a single.
    The male members [[the Romantics) had worked together in a group known as the Supremes.
    Our day Will Come was recorded by Ruby & the Romantics and [[Motown's) the Supremes, Undisputed Truth, Jonah Jones.

    Ronald Mosely was a member of The Romantics, and he also worked as a song writer for Jobete Music's New York office, for a while, in 1963 and 1964.

    So were there 3 groups of Supremes or 2? I was thinking the Romantics, another gospel group and the ladies but now I’m thinking maybe the gospel group included some of the Romantics...?

    Yes, The Supremes were a male R&B Group from Columbus, Ohio, who went down to New Orleans to record this gem:

    And Mosely also worked together, writing songs, with ex-Motowner, Robert Bateman, and fellow New Yorker, Drake Hollan, for several years, writing Motownlike, heavy beat songs, to be played by New Yorker, Richard Tee and his New York Funk Brother wannabees, in an attempt to plagerise "The Motown Sound".

    From what you said here, it makes me wonder. Was Miss Raynoma Gordy Singleton and her husband Ed Singleton involved with Robert Bateman, Mosely and Drake Hollan during those NY years?

    Only with Mosely, who also wrote some songs with Sidney Barnes and J.J. Jackson. Bateman didn't work with Jobete N.Y.
