'Stop! In the Name of Love' (1965) by the Supremes is one of Motown’s most famous girl-group anthems. Written by Holland–Dozier–Holland, its catchy command 'Stop! In the name of love...' combined with Diana Ross's pleading lead vocal made it unforgettable. The Supremes’ synchronized choreography (including the iconic finger snap) in performances became as famous as the song. This record became their third consecutive U.S. #1 hit, cementing their status as Motown’s top act. In later years the song earned a place in the Grammy Hall of Fame, underlining its classic status.
