Twin-Pick (Music Trivia Quiz) -- The Supremes

Our Twin-Pick quiz today revolves around one of the most successful female music groups in all of music history. The Supremes, when first signed to Motown by Berry Gordy, had trouble getting that first hit in the USA -- or anywhere else. But, once they had arrived on the top 40, they were dynamos and were some of the most consistent hit-makers ever. They were listed as one of the favorite groups of the fab four.

Our Twin-Pick quiz, as before, is in two parts. Remember, when you click on your answer, if you are wrong you will get a big raspberry. If you are right, the time machine takes you to a performance by the original artist performing the original hit. We call this a self-scoring quiz. You know on the spot if you are right or wrong. Do let us know how you did in the comments below.
