"Tears of Sorrow" is the first single by The Primettes, later known as The Supremes, released in 1960.[1][2] This single was their first single from Lu Pine Records, and their last. "Tears of Sorrow," along with the Mary Wilson-led "Pretty Baby", are the only known recordings that feature the vocals of Betty McGlown. It would later appear on the 2000 box set The Supremes. The Supremes would later rerecord the song at Motown, but this version would go unreleased until the 2008 compilation album Let The Music Play: Supreme Rarities 1960-1969.
