Cream of the Crop is the eighteenth studio album released by Diana Ross & the Supremes for the Motown label.

[citation needed] Motown chief Berry Gordy appended the Supremes billing to the single so as to create more publicity for Ross' exit from the group.

[citation needed] Another selection of note is "The Young Folks", the charting B-side of "No Matter What Sign You Are" from Let the Sunshine In, later covered by The Jackson 5.

Cream of the Crop also includes covers of songs by The Beatles ("Hey Jude") and Bob Dylan ("Blowin' in the Wind").

The album closer, "The Beginning of the End", features Motown artist Syreeta Wright alongside Ross and Supremes members Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong.
