Michael Jackson’s cover of the Supremes 1966 #1 hit “I Hear A Symphony.” This song was recorded in 1969 on Motown Records but never released until 1995 when it was included in a 4 disc box set.

…such as the one about Tiny and T.I. getting married in Miami two weeks ago. Or the one about Knaye West’s gay azz romancing our Rihanna. Please… Did we really need a publicity rep to clear up that rumor by saying, “Kanye is all over Rihanna’s album - not all over Rihanna!”
