Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart - The Supremes - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The Supremes hit number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1966 with "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart," produced by Motown production powerhouse, Holland–Dozier–Holland. Marrying lead vocals from the one and only Diana Ross with background vocals from Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson and upbeat instrumentation from the Funk Brothers, "Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart" leaned more heavily into a raucous bluesy soul sound, bolstered by sassy, impassioned lyrics: "Get up in the morning and I'm filled with desire / No, no, I can't stop the fire / Love is a real live wire." In May 1963, the group took the song out for a live outing on CBS variety program The Ed Sullivan Show while it remains a high-water mark for the group and their creative alliance with the poker-hot Holland–Dozier–Holland. The Supremes went on to amass an enviable stash of hit songs, rightfully earning their title as one of the world's biggest-ever girl groups.
