"Tears of Sorrow", along with "Pretty Baby", are the only known recordings that feature the vocals of Betty Mcglown There has been rumors that Betty never sang on these songs, and that session singers were brought in to sing with Mary and Florence. This information is confirmed in Mary Wilson's book, Dreamgirl: My Life As a Supreme, but it may not be true.
