The record that finally knocked “Hey Jude” from the top after nine weeks was rather groundbreaking. The subject matter, illegitimate birth, was still taboo in those days. Once again, Diana Ross was the only Supreme on the single, backed by the Andantes. Mary Wilson said it felt weird to perform this on shows like Ed Sullivan, knowing she and Cindy Birdsong contributed absolutely nothing to the recording. One of the five co-writers was R. Dean Taylor (“Indiana Wants Me”).
