If you could create your own lineup of the group from any singer out there [[including the originals), who would you pick? Mine would be Diana Ross, Jean Terrell and Marilyn McCoo.

[copley]

Blinky Williams, Wanda Rogers & Brenda Holloway :)

Well as long as we are doing Fantasy
1. Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Barbara Martin and Betty McGlown [[Travis)
2. Tammi Terrell, Tina Turner and Gladys Knight
3. Paul Williams, David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks
well you didn't say it had to be female

[bradsupremes]

Tina Duress, Linda Lorenz, Shantel Baker

[marybrewster]

marybrewster, MotownAndy and bradsupremes. Carlo can be our "Cindy Birdsong".

Or how about: Sundray Tucker, Freddi Poole and Joyce Vincent-Wilson?

Kidding aside:

[blueskies]

Pearlie Salters, Shantel Baker, and Linda Evans

Was there/is there a 'real' Pearlie Salters? Don't know Shantel Baker of Linda Evans, either. Wow....guess I AM out of the loop. Maybe it's safer that way!

[blueskies]

Florence, Mary and Cindy

Who would sing lead....or is this a 'shared' thing?

[smark21]

Pearlie was out there with "The New Supremes" back in 1999.

Thanks for the truth.

[jsmith]

Cheryl Cole, Victoria Beckham & Madonna ..............
... mind you they would have to mime to every song as none of them can sing live !!!

[skooldem1]

These ladies get my vote too.

Yikes!........I'll stick with the originals!

[nomis]

Wrong J Smith Madonna has sung live -Ive got the bootlegs to prove it..
I would choose Rupaul,Beyonce and Jackee..but only for a one off performance -Im more than happy with the originals..

[carlo]

marybrewster, MotownAndy and bradsupremes. Carlo can be our "Cindy Birdsong".


:D :D :D Sounds good. So do I replace you in the group when you "accidentally" get food poisoning? ;)

[carlo]

Here's another fantasy lineup:

Kaaren Ragland, Tony Turner and Declina Wilson.

[carlo]

Or even better:

Whitney Houston, Flo and Carlo.

[jsmith]

............... Wrong J Smith Madonna has sung live
............ I didn't say she hasn't sung live ..........
but like JLo & many other modern 'singers', she can't sing live [[well not if you want to enjoy the results).

[nomis]

watch "Sooner Or Later" at the 91 Academy Awards and you might change your mind...

[REDHOT]

Also, I would loved The Supremes Mary Wilson Cindy Birdsong, and Syreeta Wright.
Plese stay positive

[topdiva1]

Here's another fantasy lineup:

Kaaren Ragland, Tony Turner and Declina Wilson.

Great choice Carlo - but I would rather see Mary Wilson, Tony Turner, and Delcina Wilson recreate the old times as they once did - Reflections!!!

[useyourchucklemuscle]

Tony Turner, Beverley Todd and Satan would suffice for me. Satan could be the Ross one, Beverley Todd the mary one and Tony Turner the dead one!

[arrr&bee]

Fantasy??ok...whoopi goldberg,phyllis diller,joan rivers???..and don king as berry!!

[pshark]

Frankenberry, Count Chocula & Booberry
Capt Crunch as Berry

[carlo]

I think the Teletubbies would make a good Supremes lineup.

[sophisticated_soul]

The Heavenly Supremes: Mary Wells, Tammi Terrell, Dusty Springfield

[sup_fan]

i wonder what things would have been like had Tammi Terrell been well enough to move into the group as Di's replacement. love tammi but i don't know that she would have fit Frank's work as well as Jean did. sure she could sing the songs but there's that indescribable connection between frank and jean.

or there's a rumor that Scherrie's name came up as a potential Di replacement in 1970. Even though we got a MSC lineup later, i wonder what it would have been like to have that lineup fresh when there was actual promotion and push

Well not to take anything away from Jean but Tammi would have nailed it, she was already known and she was absoultely stunning.

Now Scherrie Payne as a replacement for Diana......Scherrie is a nothing but a Team Player and voice from heaven. There was a beautiful blend of MSC voices. Seeing Scherrie perform one is just in awe.

[marv2]

The union of Frank Wilson with Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong..The Supremes was a match made in heaven. All this fantasy speculation of whom would have been better than what we actually got is completely ridiculous. Go listen to the old records. No one would have been better than this exact team I mentioned here! Not Syreeta, not Tammi and not Scherrie!

Even on those few songs that were'n't 'bolstered' by Clydie, Venetta and Sherlie?

[supremesouluk2]

Perhaps a line-up of Mary, Lynda & Scherrie would be interesting visually and vocally.
If Cindy had not left the group in early 1976 and stayed on til Maryleft in June 1977, would Motown have had more enthusiasm in keeping the group going? Perhaps a line-up of Scherrie, Cindy and Lynda!

They say by them Cindy's voice was no longer up to par -

I think Cindy was told to leave, maybe even fired at this time.

[jobeterob]

1. Diana Aretha Tina
2. Diana Dionne Aretha
3. If you can have deceased, Diana Mary Flo
4. Flo Mary Cindy

[tamla617]

chaka khan,taka boom,yvonne fair and lynn collins
no idea what they'd sound like together.but it would be loud,REALLY LOUD!

[rod_rick]

They say by them Cindy's voice was no longer up to par -
Cindy's recording after the 1976 were up to par. If Cindy was so bad, why did Mary get her to come back and help her on the South American tour? Cindy didn't have the strongest voice but did well with what she had.

[blueskies]

They say by them Cindy's voice was no longer up to par -

Not up to par in what way? I never heard this one. She embarked on a solo career [[which fizzled quickly) in the early 80's and didn't sound bad? Who was that coming from, Pedro? Just asking.

[captainjames]

1. Diana Aretha Tina
2. Diana Dionne Aretha
3. If you can have deceased, Diana Mary Flo
4. Flo Mary Cindy


All dang I didn't think of that one ....Diana, Aretha and Tina.....and I am loving it !!!
Pop, R & B, Soul and Rock together. Very Nice !!!

[Glenpwood]

Diana Ross, Jean Terrell, Scherrie Payne with no designated sole lead singer....

[captainjames]

Personally, I always thought Diana, Martha, Gladys and Wanda would have been good together.

[supremesouluk2]

I have never heard anyone say that Cindy's voice wasn't up to par!
Cindy's solo material fromt he 1980s sounds good to me, as does her gospel recordings.

[supremesouluk2]

Diana Ross, Jean Terrell, Scherrie Payne with no designated sole lead singer....

I love the Jean, Scherrie & Lynda line-up of the FLOS becaue there was never a designated lead singer either in studio on on stage.

Now that sounds like a power house group of ladies but they didn't last that long. A beautiful blend of voices.

Jean, Scherrie & Lynda were together for five years and as well as recorded some great tracks as well as headlining around the world [[as the group still does today)

Now there you had three lead singers - what vocal power - what greatness - we could have witnessed.
