Partners is a 1979 album recorded by Scherrie & Susaye for Motown Records. Following the demise of The Supremes in 1977, former group members Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene recorded this album together on the Motown label. Both singers share songwriting duties as well as receiving associate producer credit for the album. Legendary performer Ray Charles makes a guest appearance on the album on the song "Love Bug". Joyce Vincent Wilson, a candidate to replace original Supreme Mary Wilson when Payne and Greene were considering continuing with the Supremes name, is heavily featured on background vocals.
The song "Leaving Me Was the Best Thing You've Ever Done" was released as the album's only single.
The album was only released in the US.
The album was finally released on compact disc in 2014.
Several tracks recorded during the sessions for 'Partners' did not make the final cut. These include "We'll Get By", "The Fantasy", "Slow Dance".
