    Judging on the Spotify streams, I'm sure they play Ain't No Mountain High Enough to prove "yeah I listen to the oldies" and then move on to '80s stuff that seems to be the "new oldies". :)

    Otis was likely touring with the Temptations. Brenda... when's the last time she's been in the public?

    Flo hired some of the worst lawyers when it came to getting out of Motown, that's for sure.

    Call Her Miss Ross was definitely the music equivalent of Mother Dearest like... GOOD LORD. I know Randy tried to correct it years later but yeesh... who knows what goes on in Diana's mind when she...

    Diana, Mary and Flo needed each other IMHO. They made the Supremes a household name. Whatever happened after that [[that was great) was just the icing on the cake.

    First time I heard of this but it wouldn't surprise me. Flo was a true team player. I think Diana was probably more intimidated by Mary and Betty but Flo was one of those who saw something in you and...

    My take may be a bit controversial but I feel had she not joined the Primettes, she would've pursued her dreams of being a fashion designer and model and not a singer. There really was no path to be...

    The only original Supreme/Primette to make it to 80. Bittersweet feeling. Mary, Flo, Betty and Barbara should be celebrating 80 years too. Happy belated to Miss Ross.

    I used to get excited for those BBC Radio 2 things when it was related to black music. Now it's like "meh". But I'm sure some of the UK fans will eat it up!

    Beats me. I think Diana would've found herself stuck anyway because the early '80s was not a great time for female pop-R&B artists prior to the arrivals of the "new blood" like Whitney and Janet.

    Because that would have broken up the Andantes and I doubt Louvain was even considered as an official replacement. Marlene joined them a few times though, didn't mean anything in the long run.
