yes the supremes sang many pop stuff but it had often soun and R&B influence not only in the song but also in the lyrics
but they also had some R&B sounding stuff like "going down for the third time" or "love is like an itching in my heart" or "come see about me" or "my world is empty without you" in my opinion :)

This song to me is a masterpiece , Don't get mad because Motown went after the White Folk Dollar.They have been gettin' our money for decades. If you were the President of Motown YOU would want to make as much money as possible as well.

I also heard or read somewhere that Florence's voice sounded too soulful (i.e., black), whereas Diana Ross on lead vocals could sell more records, since cross-over to a white audience was the goal.

Your information is incorrect. Flo may have wanted to be lead singer, but the truth is that all three girls shared lead without much success. Once they hit number one with Where Did Our Love Go with Ross singing lead, Gordy decided to keep Ross as the lead. HDH concurred and wrote songs specifically for Ross' voice. Gordy and Ross didn't start their affair until 1965. By that time The Supremes, with Ross as lead singer, had several #1 hits.

In my opinion the Supremes were sometimes more pop than r&b. The drums, heel stops, hand claps! To me this song an "Run Run Run" are rock n roll pop songs. This song is as pop as the Beatles "Eight Days A Week".
