I Hear a Symphony (single)

"I Hear a Symphony" was the hit single American girl group The Supremes . It comes from the eponymous album. The song was in the US for two weeks at # 1. In theUnited Kingdom had the number less success. First took the # 50 on the pop chart, and then disappeared for two weeks from the list. Then it came back and took the number # 39 position, which turned out to be the peak.

The song is about a lover who is quite positive about her beloved. It was written by Holland-Dozier-Holland . The single was the first after the release of " Nothing But Heartaches "which took only # 11 on the pop chart. This was after a series of five in a row # 1 hits. After this (mis) performance there was a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the writer trio, as the director of Motown , Berry Gordy had in a letter, which was circulated throughout the company, reported that Motown only summit produced 10 hits and that it might be for the Supremes even allowed his only # 1 hits. This was because she was the best-selling group's record label. Despite the enormous pressure the HDH still managed to make a # 1 hit. The single reached the top of the pop chart on 14 November 1965, where it stayed for two weeks. Initially, the song "Mother Dear" will be released, but it was "I Hear a Symphony" to go in a new direction with the group.

The song has been covered by another include Motown group, The Isley Brothers and Michael Jackson, who also covered a different number of The Supremes, " Love Is Here and Now You're Gone ". Like "I Hear a Symphony" was the B-side of the song, " Who Could Ever Doubt My Love ", also recorded by The Isley Brothers .
