About The Song
“Someday We’ll Be Together” is a classic soul song performed by The Supremes, one of the most successful and influential female vocal groups in the history of popular music. The song was released in 1969 and marked a significant moment for the group, as it was the final single featuring Diana Ross as the lead vocalist before she embarked on her solo career.
Here are some details about the song:
