Billboard named the song #38 on their list of 100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time.[3] The BBC ranked "Stop! In the Name of Love" at #56 on The Top 100 Digital Motown Chart, which ranks Motown releases by their all time UK downloads and streams.[4]

History


The Supremes recorded "Stop! In the Name of Love"[6] in January 1965 and released as a single on February 8. The song was included on the Supremes' sixth album, More Hits by The Supremes, and was nominated for the 1966 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Rock & Roll Group Vocal Performance, losing to "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Brothers.

Cash Box described it as "a rousing, shufflin’ pop-blues romancer about a gal who cautions her boyfriend to go a little bit slower" that should "continue in [the Supremes] fantastic chart-riding ways."[7]

The Supremes' choreography for this song involved one hand on the hip and the other outstretched in a "stop" gesture. They performed it on an episode of the ABC variety program Shindig! which aired on Wednesday, February 24, 1965.[8]


Meaning


Stop! In the name of love is about cheating and their lies breaking your heart more. The song was written by Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Brian Holland.[9] Dozier got the idea after he got cheated on by his girlfriend. In the heat of the argument, he stopped the arguing and said, "Baby, please stop. In the name of love- before you break my heart,"[10] In the song Diana Ross, lead singer, confronts her man, telling him she knows he cheated. Instead of arguing and getting angry she reminds him how well she treats him and asks him to stop in the name of love.[10] This song became their 4th biggest hit[11] because of the lyrics being so relatable to those out there who have been cheated on.
