🎵 [SONG INFO]
You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a 1966 number-one hit song originally recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label.
Musicians such as Wilson Pickett, Tim Buckley, Rod Stewart, Ann Peebles, Melanie Safka, The Box Tops, Gov't Mule, Colourbox, Madness, Glee, Dead On Arrival, The Index, The Rods and Ken Boothe have all recorded versions of the song, but the three most successful remakes were recorded by the late-1960s rock band Vanilla Fudge, 1980s pop singer Kim Wilde, and 1990s country singer Reba McEntire.
Original recording
Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland--Dozier--Holland (H-D-H), the single is very-much rooted in proto-funk and rhythm and blues, compared to the Supremes' previous single, "You Can't Hurry Love," which utilizes the call and response elements akin to gospel. The song's signature guitar part originated from a Morse code-like radio signal heard by Lamont Dozier, who collaborated with Brian and Eddie Holland to integrate the idea into a single. The song is also noted for its angry spoken line at the end of the second bridge of the song: "And there ain't nothing I can do about it."
Many elements of the recording, including the guitars, the drums, and Diana Ross's vocals, were multitracked, a production technique which was established and popularized concurrently by H-D-H and other premier producers of the 1960s such as Phil Spector (see Wall of Sound) and George Martin. H-D-H recorded the song in nine sessions with The Supremes and session band The Funk Brothers before settling on a version deemed suitable for the final release.
Becoming The Supremes' eighth number-one single, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" topped the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart for two weeks in November 1966 and the magazine's soul chart for four weeks. The track is one of the more oft-covered songs in the Supremes canon. They performed the song on the ABC variety program The Hollywood Palace on Saturday, October 29, 1966.
"You Keep Me Hangin' On" was the first single from the Supremes' 1967 album The Supremes Sing Holland--Dozier--Holland. The original version was No. 339 on Rolling Stone's The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Vanilla Fudge version
Vanilla Fudge's 1967 psychedelic/hard rock remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 chart two years after the release of the Supremes' recording. While the version released on 45 RPM single was under three minutes long, the album version was extended to six minutes and forty-five seconds.
The recording, done in one take, was Vanilla Fudge's first single.
Kim Wilde version
"You Keep Me Hangin' On" was covered in an updated version by British singer Kim Wilde in 1986.
It was released as the second single from Wilde's Another Step album (although "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was the LP's first worldwide single, as the first single had been released only in selected countries).
Wilde's version was a total re-working of the original, completely transforming the Supremes' Motown Sound into a 1980s power pop song.
She and her brother, producer Ricki Wilde, had not heard "You Keep Me Hangin' On" for several years when they decided to record it.
The song was not a track they knew well, so they treated it as a new song, even slightly changing the original lyrics. It became the biggest hit of Wilde's career, reaching No. 2 in her home country as well as hitting the top spot in Europe and Australia.
It also became Wilde's second top 40 hit in the US following "Kids in America" and was also her only major hit there, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for one week in June 1987.
Incidentally, since Wilde's recording was popular during the evolution of sample-based hip hop, a short drum break in her version has become one of the most sampled pieces of audio ever.
In 2006, she performed a new version of the song with the German singer Nena for her Never Say Never album.
Reba McEntire version
Country music singer Reba McEntire covered the song on her 1996 album Starting Over.
Although not released to country radio, McEntire's rendition was her only dance hit, reaching No. 2 on Hot Dance Club Play.
