    "High Energy" is a dance/disco song by The Supremes. Released as the album's title-track single in 1976 from their penultimate album High Energy, this energic, sound-bursting tune featured lead vocals by Susaye Greene. Greene, new to the group, was brought in to dub her vocals although Scherrie Payne had already recorded lead vocals prior to Greene's entry into the trio. As such, this was the final single to feature former member Cindy Birdsong's vocals, and the sixth and final single of the group to feature four members. Written by Harold Beatty, Brian Holland and Edward Holland, Jr., the song peaked at position nine on the dance/disco charts later that same year.

    High Energy is the twenty-eighth studio album by The Supremes, released in 1976 on the Motown label. The first album since 1968's Reflections to include four Supremes members (not counting albums after Diana Ross was given individual billing containing outtakes from Florence Ballard's tenure in the group), it also is notable for featuring the last Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 pop hit for the group, "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking". The album sold around 125,000 copies in the USA.

    Overview

    The penultimate studio album released by the group, the Supremes began recording High Energy in December 1975, when its lineup consisted of Scherrie Payne, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong. Birdsong left the group in February 1976, and her replacement, Susaye Greene, was overdubbed on two tracks, including "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking". Greene also assumed lead vocal duties on the title track. Along with Meet The Supremes and Reflections, these are the only studio albums to include four members of the group rather than the usual three. (Let the Sunshine In and Cream of the Crop both had Florence Ballard appear on a previously recorded track for each album, though she had long been dismissed from the group).

    Spoken intro by Mary Wilson:
    Share what you've got
    To keep what you need.
    Right? Wrong!
    Because I need all of you
    I may share many things in life
    But I will never share my man...
    Everytime you love you love me
    The way I like it, yeah
    Everytime it's something different
    I wouldn't share you if I could
    You make me feel light as a breeze
    Fly like an eagle
    Touching life with ease
    See the glow you excite within me
    Ooh, the love is bursting, bursting in meeeeeeeeee
