Positioned as a successful attempt to further bridge the gap between traditional pop music, the traditional Motown sound and soul, the album included the title track, the Supremes' sixth number-one single, and the Top Ten single "My World Is Empty Without You". Also included are the group's covers of pop standards such as "With a Song in My Heart", "Without a Song", "Stranger in Paradise" and "Wonderful! Wonderful!". The original plan was to have the Supremes record an entire album of pop standards, to be entitled "There's a Place for Us." The album was indeed recorded but shelved and left unreleased by Motown until 2004. The cover for "I Hear a Symphony" was the cover shot intended originally for "There's a Place For Us." When that album was eventually released in 2004, an alternate shot from that photo session was used.
