"Chained To Yesterday" was a track that was originally written and intended for Diana Ross & The Supremes to record back in 1969, but they never got around to recording their vocals. The track would be pulled out two years later in 1971 and was reassigned to the Supremes, but with Jean Terrell now in the group. The song was among many others that were considered to be included on the shelved "Promises Kept" album. This song wasn't released until 2006 when it was released on "This Is The Story - The 70's Albums: Vol. 1 1970-1973."
