Cheers to Susaye!!!! Sometimes misinformation just has to be corrected. She is telling the truth about the Motown Supremes. Why folks choose the think otherwise is simply silly.
Congratulations Susaye.
Well said Susaye Greene,what you said was so right,i love it lol
Good for her. I'm very tired of how "forgetful" people can be about who was a Supreme and how important each lady was to the group. The continuous bickering between factions of fans is juvenile. Scherrie and Susaye's Partners album proved that each Supreme was supreme and remained so after they left or the group disbanded. The same for Flo, Diana, Mary, Lynda, Jean, and Cindy. Its only some very disrespectful "fans" who keep this silliness going on. Ignore them!
Besides I don't think Diana Ross ever collaborated with Paul Westerberg's band The Replacements. http://www.avclub.com/article/a-begi...e-repla-102761
Once again, Susaye sends out her positive juju into the world. There is something to be said about class.
HAHAHAHA
Good One Susaye !!! No Fear Here !!!
Well, apparently, that woman who made the comment is a friend/hairdresser to Mary Wilson which makes it seem even more out of line!
I'd be curious to read the whole thread. We clearly aren't getting the whole story by the screen capture. Prior to this post or after.
Just 'cause I'm nosy, looks like this Diana has several Facebook profiles. And you're right Lulu, it looks as though maybe this woman was Mary's hairdresser, about 2 decades ago.
Regardless, Miss Susaye has once again given us a lesson; what a gift to be one of her students!
Here's the whole thread. I cropped it because those two posts basically summarized the banter between the two. I'm not sure who can see it based on privacy settings but Mr. Stephen Woods posted the original message. Mr. Woods, as some of you know, has been compiling the Supremes gown history for a number of years:

Oh, my my my... well. I understand both sides, I understand Susaye's point, and she is correct. But by the same token, Mary also enabled her to have a glamorous lifestyle for a couple of years, had it not been for Mary, Susaye would have been staying at Holiday Inns, arm wrestling Esetella Yarborough for the last drumstick in the bucket. One scratches the other's back, it goes both ways.
Mr. Woods, from what I know, is a fire starter. While Susaye did not address him personally, I know several Motown alumni that want nothing to do with him.
As far as his collecting gown history, copying pictures off eBay and passing them off as his own, and giving dresses names as he sees fit hardly qualify him as an expert. But that's just my two cents.
Agree or not, that is the truth.
No real Supremes, no real show, no real fans.
This Diana person lives in lala land.
You said it...Lulu dear planted the seed though
Yes, Mr. Woods does like to stir the pot. The RTL tour and Cindy's "waiting in the wings" moment are his two favorite subjects as is the "fire" that seemingly destroyed many a gown.
I didn't know that the pictures were copied from eBay! I just assumed he had been the one who purchased them there! The gown names do crack me up though...a good friend and I have a field day texting each other about that!
Don't get me started on Stephen Woods...don't get me started.
If he wants to publish it, nothing is stopping him. He may have problems with copyright issues when it comes to photos though. Licensing from places like Getty Images isn't cheap and he certainly can't use photos copied from eBay. He has made it seem like Mary has put forth some kind of legal action against him if he does go forward with his book, but that is completely false. Nothing has ever been said to him that can't do his book. I just think he's upset with the fact that Mary is working on her gown book and the information in there will make him look bad. He has said numerous times he will correct any inaccuracies when Mary's book is published, but who are people going to believe? A fan who's never handled or worked with the gowns or a lady who wore, owns, maintains, and knows just about everything about them. The choice is yours.

And there you have it.
