The Magnificent 7 is a collaborative album combining Motown's premier vocal groups, The Supremes and The Four Tops. Issued by Motown in 1970, it was a replay of the collaborative albums the group did with The Temptations in the late-sixties. The album featured their hit cover of Ike & Tina Turner's "River Deep Mountain High", which reached number fourteen on the pop singles chart.

All of the twelve tracks on the album were cover songs of recent rock and soul songs including "Everyday People", "Knock on My Door", "For Your Love", and ironically a cover of former Supremes band mate Diana Ross' 1970 debut solo hit, "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)".
