The performances included on the LP include several pop standards, four of the Supremes' number-one hit singles and a medley of songs by late soul star Sam Cooke. Berry Gordy and Motown's head engineer Lawrence Horn are credited as the producers, and the orchestra was arranged and conducted by Gil Askey. The release of "The Supremes at the Copa" led Motown to shelve a studio-record album of pop covers, "There's a Place for Us", which featured many of the same songs as "Copa", with the same arrangements.
