Floy Joy (song)

"Floy Joy" is a pop/soul song recorded in 1971 and released as a single in 1972 by popular Motown female singing group The Supremes.

The song, built on a retro sixties vibe reminiscent of past Supremes songs, was recorded by the group's old mentor Smokey Robinson, marking his first production of a Supremes song since 1969's "The Composer".

The song featured original Supreme Mary Wilson and early-seventies Supremes lead singer Jean Terrell on lead vocals, featuring the second lead vocals by Wilson on a Supremes hit single.

The song peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles charts, number sixteen on the American pop singles chart and number nine on the United Kingdom pop singles chart becoming their sixth consecutive top ten hit in the UK.
