Hi! I first discovered The Supremes in 1964 when I was listening to my transistor radio in Maryland and I heard Where Did Our Love Go? for the first time. From that moment I was a fan for life. That's why I've started this blog. And I welcome you and thank you for coming by!

"Nothing But Heartaches"- 1965, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross


Isn't this an awesome picture of Flo, Diana, & Mary? I don't recall ever seeing it before! Here's some info about "Nothing But Heartaches". This was their 6th release after "Where Did Our Love Go?" hit #1 as did "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In The Name Of Love" & then their 5th consecutive #1 "Back In My Arms Again"! "Nothing But Heartaches" stalled at #11--yes, it didn't make the Top Ten! Everyone was shocked! I think there was some hanky panky behind this as it was a wonderful song & talk was out about The Supremes couldn't keep challenging The Beatles like they were doing. It actually was going to be called: "I Can't Break Away" as both lines were used almost equally throughout the song. Their next 4 songs hit #1 which would have made The Supremes have 10 consecutive #1 Hits (unsurpassed if it would have been allowed to happen). Enjoy the info.
