High Energy is the twenty-eighth studio album by The Supremes, released in 1976 on the Motown label. The second album since 1968's Reflections (The Supremes Produced and Arranged by Jimmy Webb studio album released by The Supremes on the Motown label in 1972) include four Supremes members (not counting albums after Diana Ross was given individual billing containing outtakes from Florence Ballard's tenure in the group), it also is notable for featuring the last Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 pop hit for the group, "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking". The album sold around 125,000 copies in the USA.
The penultimate studio album released by the group, the Supremes began recording High Energy in December 1975, when its lineup consisted of Scherrie Payne, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong. Birdsong left the group in February 1976, and her replacement, Susaye Greene, was overdubbed on two tracks, including "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking". Greene also assumed lead vocal duties on the title track. Along with Meet The Supremes and Reflections, these are the only studio albums to include four members of the group rather than the usual three. (Let the Sunshine In and Cream of the Crop both had Florence Ballard appear on a previously recorded track for each album, though she had long been dismissed from the group).
