    The Supremes
    January 15, 1961 to Spring 1962
    Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Barbara Martin

    The Supremes
    Spring 1962 to July 1, 1967

    Even though Barbara stopped recording with the group in December 1961, she still performed with them well into the spring of 1962. Both Mary and Barbara have said this.

    Yes Flo left in July. They were called the Supremes with Diana Ross for their first few engagements when Flo left per JRT book with pics of the name.

    and if you have a copy of Meet the Supremes, Barbara is heard on the spoken word monologue of "He's Seventeen"
