I don't think there should be any question that entertaining made Flo happy. She was as dedicated to her craft as Diana and Mary. Only when she became disillusioned with the way Gordy was running things did she lose her focus. As with any job, it's not the craft that is the problem, it's often the boss or the co-workers. By all accounts Flo loved entertaining from an early age and as someone said, she saw singing as her way to success, which is the same thing Diana and Mary felt.
