Are there any Former Ladies fans out there? I have always loved ALL of the Supremes - never taken sides as so many do - and I am a real fan of the FLO's recordings.

The FLO's recordings have been repackaged as "The Supremes" ad nauseam, and I know that is a point of contention even among fans, but that is not the group's fault. That is the greed of the record companies, pure and simple...

The music, itself, is really good. I think the remakes of many Supremes hits, cut with Sundray Tucker, are among the best, and Lynda Laurence did a great job on some of those tracks as well. She never got a chance to shine as an actual Supreme, but she definitely excels as a Former Lady.

As I write this I am listening to a UK-issued CD, "Songs In The Name Of Love," and I really, really like it. Great versions of some great songs. Not The Supremes, but damn good versions of these songs!

Are there other fans?
