I read some old article from the UK dated in August of 1967 and it seems like they got some backlash on the name change.

Some quotes from the article are: "I do not automatically think of Diana...

Thanks for posting that photo Brad, that's the one I found.

Well there you have it: Flo never performed with The Supremes with Diana Ross, Diana Ross and the Supremes, etc as she said in an...

Milven I actually just did a search and found a picture of the marquee for the 1967 appearance and it looks like they were still being billed as The Supremes.

I've seen pictures of them being...

So is there a possibility now that the group never was billed as Diana Ross and the Supremes until well after Florence officially left?

I don't buy that the name change set her off during that...

Flo and Mary's account is Flo went on stage drunk and stuck her stomach out. This infuriated Gordy. He told her either that night or the next morning she was fired. Flo was told by Gwen Gordy to stay...

I wonder if they had a hard time getting Flo out of her Copa contract and that was presented to her. "If you break your contract with Jules Podell, he'll put cement on your feet."

Are there any article reviews from the Flamingo engagement that says they were called Diana Ross and the Supremes? Or is there a picture of the marquee showing the name change? I remember see a...

I really love the original three but if I have to pick one its going to be Flo.

Loved her voice, whether it was in the background or on lead. Also love watching her in the video clips. My eyes...

A lot of the singles I do prefer in stereo like Come See About Me, Reflections, Baby Love, Love Is Like An Itchin, You Keep Me Hangin On. With the latter especially because they mute half of Mary and...

Gman I actually love the 45 version of You Can't Hurry Love over the album stereo one.

They did Ran. Betty was fired weeks after Flo was in July. I always wondered if Martha was like well if they can get rid of Flo then I can get rid of Betty.

I also listened to the Copa 67 concert...

While I do love this appearance and it being significant that it's one of Florence's last appearances with the group, it does come off as a bit...off.

I remember reading that this appearance was...

Going by the albums being typically 12 tracks, here's how I would have done the Jean lead greatest hits:

1. Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music
2. Stoned Love
3. Floy Joy
4. The Day Will...

She clearly had depression. Both Diana and Mary have said she would blow up on them about something then minutes later she'd be fine again as if nothing happened.

And they both have alluded that...

I agree that Diana shouldn't have said that about Flo especially with Diana knowing about what Flo went through with the rape, etc.

And do you guys really think they were going to use Mary on...

I agree Brad regarding Diana's response to Mary's death. I'm sure her passing shook her up a bit. I think Flo's death shook her up quite a bit too and it seems like the best way she knew how to cope...

I'm always amazed at how much it seemed like the Supremes turned into women practically overnight when Cindy came into the group. It's so subtle but noticeable. I watched DMF doing the Happening on...

On to the next chapter! Andy thank you so much for all your contributions with all the releases. I'm so grateful we were able to even get what we have. Of course I'd love more but I also get it,...

To be fair Rick, none of the songs ever sounded the same live.

I like it but I miss Scherrie's ad libs in the intro.

I think some runner ups for me with DMF would be Come See About Me on Shindig and Back In My Arms Again on Hullabaloo.

I'm sure this has been done already...then again so has Motown 25 and RTL...so what would you say was the top TV performance for each lineup where you were like "yeah now that's why they're...

She would have made a great Florence Ballard though.

I don't think Mary was high, but she does seem to have a bit of a 'tude here.

It's funny with Dick asking about stand ins because wasn't this around the time when they all got a bad flu and they...

Watching this clip made me realize there was nothing wrong with them doing some of the 60s songs. By some I mean that Jean does a great job with Reflections and making My World Is Empty her own. I...
