Description:
“You Keep Me Hangin’ On” combines a driving, percussive Motown groove with Diana Ross’ emotive, almost pleading lead vocal. The arrangement — punctuated by staccato strings and a subtly syncopated rhythm — perfectly mirrors the song’s theme of romantic frustration. The Supremes’ harmonies provide depth and tension, heightening the track’s dramatic impact.

Legacy & Influence:
A chart-topping single, the song was famously covered by Vanilla Fudge (1967), whose psychedelic rock interpretation further cemented its place in music history. It has been sampled and referenced in hip-hop and pop numerous times, demonstrating the track’s enduring melodic and rhythmic influence.
