The supremes mary,florence,diana were on ed sullivan, not diana alone,it's history

No need to duck Rob, it is what it is !!! Each Supreme has made their own contribution, Diana, Flo, Barabra, Lynda, Scherrie, Susaye, Cindy, Jean and Mary. The die hard fans know the contibutions but, it is the mass public that identifies Diana as "THE ONE".

This is all about semantics. Oprah is a huge mass market conglomerate responding to "the people". The people are not the committed fans ~ the people love Baby Love and we all can't stand it, in general.

Oprah is mouthing what the masses of people see and feel. They don't know who any of the Supremes were other than Diana. They don't even know if any of them sing anymore. Most people don't care about the politics of the Supremes, the Beatles, the Beach Boys etc. They know Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Diana Ross. The rest are incidental.

That is heartbreaking to some fans of Lynda and Mary and Scherrie and Jean. But it is also real life.

I'm ducking the rotten tomatoes already.

I will always hold a soft spot for all former Supremes especially Barbara Martin. That great lady walked away from show business and became a Podiatrists nurse. Helping to heal people's feet is very commendable and very admirable. Your feet support the weight of your entire body.

Diana Ross is the only Supreme to become a global superstar but all ladies gave their God given all to the group.
