Right On is a 1970 album recorded by The Supremes for the Motown label, the first Supremes album not to feature former lead singer Diana Ross. Ross' replacement, Jean Terrell, began recording Right On with Supremes Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong in mid-1969, while Wilson and Birdsong were still touring with Ross.
Frank Wilson, a former protégé of Motown producer Norman Whitfield, produced much of Right On, working to establish the "New Supremes" (as Motown began marketing the new Terrell-led lineup) as a group unique from the Ross-led Supremes. Right On features two Top 40 singles, "Up the Ladder to the Roof" (#10 Billboard and charting higher than former Supreme Ross's debut solo single a few months later) and "Everybody's Got the Right to Love". Other notable tracks include "Bill, When Are You Coming Back", an anti-Vietnam song, and "The Loving Country", written by Ivy Jo Hunter and Smokey Robinson. A critical and commercial success, Right On reached number 25 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart, a peak twenty-one positions higher than the final Diana Ross-led album, Farewell.
