The sixth single, “Nothing But Heartaches,” is moving up the charts. The Supremes Thursday, July 29, opened a three-week stand at the New York Copacabana.

Ales confirmed that Motown has just signed singer Connie Haynes, who has been doing nightclub and television work recently. She formerly recorded with a female trio under another label. END
