November 24, 1968 –
Diana Ross and The Supremes song Love Child hit No.1 on the US singles chart, their 11th No.1 in the US, on this date.
Motown founder Berry Gordy wrote this with staff songwriters Deke Richards, Pam Sawyer, R Dean Taylor and Frank Wilson. Instead of writing about love, they came up with a much more controversial song about a child born to unmarried parents.
