| On one of the Supremes' "lyric page" websites, it says Bob Merrill. It's a lovely intro that sets up the song (and title) beautifully. The entire album (which segues from one song to another, without breaks, as you may have noticed from this cut) is full of all kinds of interesting surprises. Miss Ross and sometimes, Florence Ballard often sang "People" in their live shows, which were recorded and released on various Expanded Editions CDs. They also performed "I Am Woman, You Are Man" live, and it's on their Supremes At The Copa CD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYKQI559IXI Diana is quoted as saying she wanted to play Fanny Brice! Ross's version of the song, "Funny Girl" on "Sing and Perform" is exquisite. Here are the intro lyrics to the intro: "To me, to me love is no go, till fiddle and oboe start weeping and wailing, that's my failing. He may be all wrong for me But his is the only song for me..." |

| Thank you! I am well aware of the Diana/Florence "battle" over "People." On their recorded version, Florence sings lead on the first two verses, Diana sings lead on the last and they close with truly gorgeous three-way harmony. For my money, Florence is much better on harmonizing than singing lead; it's only when Diana takes the lead that the lyrics seem to mean something and actually land. But there are live versions available on YouTube in which Flo sounds far more assured. Diana is sensational throughout "Diana Ross and The Supremes Sing and Perform Funny Girl." |

| I agree with everything you say! And if you don't have it already, I highly recommend "The Supremes Sing Rodgers and Hart Expanded Edition" with an entire CD of songs cut from the original release. | |
