"You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a 1966 song written and composed by Holland–Dozier–Holland. It first became a popular Billboard Hot 100 number one hit for the American Motown group the Supremes in late 1966. Vanilla Fudge's 1967 psychedelic rock remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart a year after the release of the Supremes' recording. While the edited version released on the 45 RPM single was under three minutes long, the album version was 7:20. The recording, done in one take, was Vanilla Fudge's first single.
