"Some Things You Never Get Used To" is a song released in 1968 by Diana Ross & the Supremes on the Motown label. The single stalled for three weeks at number 30 on the U.S. Billboard pop chart in July 1968.[1][2][3] It became the lowest-charting Supremes single since 1963 and became the catalyst for Berry Gordy to revamp songwriting for The Supremes since the loss of Motown's premier production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, which Gordy had assigned as the group's sole producers after the success of "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes."

Cash Box praised the "charming performance from Diana Ross, and here-and-there sound effect splashes."[4]

Shelved LP

Motown originally created an album to capitalize on the success of the single, but when the single failed to hit the top of the charts the album was scrapped, and the single was included rather on Diana Ross and the Supremes' "Love Child" LP. The shelved LP track list was intended as follows:[citation needed]

Side One:

  1. Some Things You Never Get Used To
  2. Heaven Must Have Sent You
  3. He's My Sunny Boy
  4. Come On And See Me
  5. Can I Get A Witness
  6. You've Been So Wonderful To Me

Side two:

  1. My Guy
  2. It's Not Unusual
  3. Just A Little Misunderstanding
  4. Uptight (Everything's Alright)
  5. What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted
  6. Blowin' In The Wind

Covers

The song has never had a high-profile remake. Motown singer Frances Nero recorded a version of the song several decades after she left the company, for Ian Levine and his Motorcity Records project.[15]

It should not be confused with a 1965 song (with the same title), written by Van McCoy and recorded by Cilla Black,[16] Irma Thomas,[17] local Detroit singer Juanita Williams,[18] and Detroit band The San Remo Strings.[19][20]

Huchoun (little Hugh), Huchown or Huchowne of the Awle Ryale (fl. 14th century) is a poet conjectured to have been writing sometime in the 14th century. Some academics, following the Scottish antiquarian George Neilson (1858–1923), have identified him with a Scottish knight, Hugh of Eglinton, and advanced his authorship of several significant pieces of alliterative verse. Current opinion is that there is little evidence to support this. Evidence The little that is known about Huchoun comes fro…
