In the Possible Re-Union thread , we discussed how reporters or bloggers or whatever they are called nowadays, use deceptive headlines to grab our attention.

The link below has this headline:

Supremes original Mary Wilson is keeping the legacy alive bringing the group’s huge hits to Brisbane this week

But this had nothing to do with Mary. It was about Kaaaaren and her group.
But at least Kaaaren's non history with the Supremes is accurate now. It does not profess that she was a Supreme. It now says that she toured with Mary after Mary left the group . Of course Mary billed Kaaaren as a Supreme, but that has been discussed by us already.

The article and Kaaaren's non Supreme history is now accurate. But the headline is wrong and confusing.

NO doubt whoever wrote the headline didn't read the article too closely.

Jeez, that is an awfully written article and misleading title!
