Who is This Woman

[Koach]

This is a question I have been trying to get answered since December 2007. There is a clip onYoutube of Karen Ragland's group Sounds of The Supremes with video clips from many years One woman stood out. She sand Up the Ladder to the Roof, Baby Love and an unknown song in that clip. She appears to have left the group early. She sounds a bit like Darlene Love to me. I feel like I have seen her in other things. Do any of you know her name? Thanks in advance.

Van Jewell was a member, but I'm not sure if she is the one you are looking for.

[carole cucumber]

Roberta Freeman was another

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Koach, might it be Robin Alexander?

[Koach]

Thanks for the names. I looked at all of them and am unsure. According to the Baby Love clip, this woman performed it in 1989 in the UK. I would need to see pictures from that time frame. The third song had the lyrics wham bam alakazam in them. She was on Kaaren Ragland's left when they sang You Keep Me Hang in On.

Might she be Hollis Paysour who sang with Mary Wilson & Kaaren Ragland in 1989?

Hmmm... it does not look like her. The one who looks most like her from your names is Van Jewell, but in a way it does not. This is the video.

[Koach]

I took a look a look at Hollis and the clip again. I see her in most of the clips with Kaaren and the mystery person lol.

[marv2]

Koach, might it be Robin Alexander?

Robin Alexander was never in the Sounds of the Supremes.

[marv2]

Might she be Hollis Paysour who sang with Mary Wilson & Kaaren Ragland in 1989?

Here is Hollis in 1989. She performed again with Mary Wilson in 2011 in Australia

I told her she had a great rear end LOL! ......... She was excited that she would be working with Mary again.

[marv2]

Here Hollis again onstage wit h Mary and Lucy in 2011:

[Koach]

I know for a fact it is not Hollis since she is in the clip with Kaaren and her. That is a funny story, Marv. I wish the website for The Sounds of the Supremes had more info on its past members. I like them and would see them in concert.

[Koach]

Marv can you confirm whothe woman is that I am trying to identify?

Sounds like that girl Aleatha Burkholder [[sp?). I know that is not the right way to spell her name.

[carole cucumber]

Althea Burkhalter joined in 1997 as did Kathy Merrick [[who happens to be a member of Want Ads alongside Shelly Clark & Wendy Smith)

In introducing Love Child, Mary says "Here's one recorded by Diane, FLORENCE, and myself in 1968"??????????? That's one version we'd all like to hear.......[[LOL)

Well. Ahem... I guess the hypnotist was not available that day.

The inconvenient truth always surfaces.

[Koach]

I looked online and saw that Van Jewell was only in the group from 1998 - 2000. The group's site is down. In the past it did not have much about past members. Did the group disband?
