Nothing but Heartaches

Last updated

We will release nothing less than Top Ten product on any artist; and because the Supremes' world-wide acceptance is greater than the other artists, on them we will only release number-one records.

After canceling the planned subsequent release of "Mother Dear," Holland-Dozier-Holland produced "I Hear a Symphony."

Cash Box described the song as a "rollicking pop-blues heart-throbber about a love struck gal who can’t break away from a fella who is decidedly wrong for her." [4] Record World said that "The oh so sweet Diana Ross voice again wails as Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson chant along on a Detroit delight." [5]
