Does that mean motown was chomping at the bit for a new, fresh supremes? no. definitely not. but motown was lacking a strong disco act. Disco, by definition, had a glam aspect to it. and glam and Supremes were synonymous. so if they could recharge the old Sup brand and get a few disco hits, great. but apparently the feeling within the company was not in favor of Mary being the lead singer and once she brought Pedro onboard, they didn't seem too in favor of mary running the group.
