Now, if you want to seriously contend that the historical, legendary Supremes we know today would have had the same success with Diana in front and just who the hell ever in back, go ahead. How about I count the number of times I hear any Supremes singles on the radio TODAY between "Where Did Our Love Go" and "You Can't Hurry Love" (at which point Ross's voice was used the most) and you do the same for songs like "Love Child" and"The Happening," and we see whose tally ends up higher.

OH and Ms. Know It All BCOOMBS Ms. Ross sang many of the final songs supposedly by the Supremes by herself with background singers... Someday We'll be Together and many others as well. Hence anyone could have filled the background, there was no disctint sound and on Someday it was even better than the girls ever could have done. While Mary was bonking Tom Jones and Flo was pissed yet again... get a grip you slit arse cunt!

Ross fans who were ...( 2 months ago by GGE47)
Ross fans who were too young to remember The Supremes and those who remember them from the beginning.Supremes fans know the differance.That's why we withheld our funds on the "reunion".I never believed that Flo's "leaving" and the name change to DR&The Supremes was a coincidence but I couldn't figure it out.I saw them earlier in the year and they looked and sounded great.I was shocked by Flo's"leaving".She didn't leave,she was fired.

On the night of Aug.30,1968 they had two shows that night.I didn't buy tickets because of a personal commitment.I was able to get out there between shows and had no idea they were in a room at the top of a ramp I was.Three teens came up the ramp right behind me.One of them shouted"hey,there's Diana Ross"I looked and sure enough there was her silhouette.She screamed at the top of her lungs"Go away!!!,Go away!!!." They let her have it right back.I was afraid of her screaming at me,so I kept quiet.
Mary and Cindy ...( 2 months ago by GGE47)
Mary and Cindy didn't say anything either.This went back and forth for some time.They were unmercifull in their attacks.They knew things I didn't know about until later.I started feeling for her even though I was shocked by her screams.She did calm down and didn't use cuss words when they did.When it was time for them to go back on some policemen came and made us get down.I just had to say something and said"don't worry about them Diana,I still love you".
She laughed and ...( 2 months ago by GGE47)
She laughed and said"there's always someone in every crowd who still loves us".I could hear Mary giggle.If she hadn't screamed,the whole thing wouldn't have happened.I know now I caught her on one of her better nights.When 2 of the 3 policemen went somewhere else the one staying asked me what were we doing up there.I said we were just talking to The Supremes.You should have seen the expression on his face.He said"Yeah,did The Supremes talk back to you?"I said yeah.

This is increadiable news please tell more.What were the audiences like at a typical Supremes show? I know they usually had a high priced supper club appearance where ever they appeared in a city as well as a general rock and roll type of event. No offense but what exaclty was the level of background of the guys who were attacking them or was it just diana in other words what kind of class did they have ?

Hi,etrax2000.The Supremes appeared in concert in Richmond,Va.The next night they went to Virginia Beach.We didn't have any hightclubs in Virginia back then.The audience was mostly youger(now getting older)and half black and half white.The teens were just regular kids in their mid teens.I think they lived nearby.Diane started it with her usual irritable self,but this was new to me.They immediately struck back but just wouldn't quit.I didn't know she was Berry Gordy's mistress but they did.

They also knew she was fooling around with somebody else,and Berry wasn't supposed to know about it.When they mentioned it,I thought she was going to laugh at them,but she didn't say a word.This puzzled me.He was fooling around behind her too.

I did see The Supremes on Feb.4,1967.They were incredibly fantastic.I had seen them the previous weekend on Andy Williams where they sang their new release Love is Here and Now You're Gone.They sag it here,too.With their orchestra it sounded just like on the radio.So did all of their songs.This is a moment I will always cherish and remember.
How could I not ...( 2 months ago by GGE47)
How could I not mention Florence Ballard and how beautiful she looked even though she had a noticeable gain in weight?When they sang Back in My Arms Again and got to the part where Diane sings"how can Mary tell me what to do when she's lost her love so true,and Flo she don't know",Flo with her hands on her hips gives Diane her hip and butt and a sneer.I don't want to make too much of this because it could have been part of the act,but looking back after 41 years?

That is a fantastic story. Too bad they didn't have cell vid phones back then. This is a dumb question. .Did you guys realize how big the Supremes were in the world or were they just another star sighting. My grandfather once met Edawtd G. Robnson (OK to GOOGLE) He said he was increadiably short and smelled funny. I know thats not nice and probably tottally irrelevant to this story but its great to at least meet super famous people at least once.

Yes. Miss Ross actualy says or implies that her "DISTINCT" voice was too important to speak as it would give away the show too easily" so she generousely allows the two lesser unknowns to do the speaking.

No doubt that Diana and all the supremes were under tremendous presure around this time as they must have just done the TCB special. Diana always gets bashed but she was under heavy burdens around this time. Add that to the fact that away from flattering lights and camera angles the famous Rossian glamour can be a bit disappointing to some of her fans. No doubt she wanted to protect that illusion which is why she didn't want you to get too close.

There are no real secrets in show business> somebody always knows something(LOL) I just wish those somebodies would start to tell more (LMAO) I guess nothing shocks people these days but I stil want to know everything. Eddie Kendricks was not as innocent as his voice sounded and I heard someone was writtng a tell all book on the Temptations. The real story. No doubt it'll appear somewhere around MOTOWN 50.

Look idiot, aka ROXYLUCY, did any of those post-Flo songs do much with Diana front and center and just who-the-hell-ever filling background? Aside from "Love Child"? Turn on the radio and I guarantee you will hear "Back in My Arms Again" or "You Can't Hurry Love" before you hear "Someday We'll Be Together."
I'm done talking to you, ROXYLUCY. You are such a pathetic, rude moron.
