The Supremes
January 15, 1961 to Spring 1962
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, Barbara Martin

The Supremes
Spring 1962 to July 1, 1967
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard

Even though Barbara stopped recording with the group in December 1961, she still performed with them well into the spring of 1962. Both Mary and Barbara have said this.

Yes Flo left in July. They were called the Supremes with Diana Ross for their first few engagements when Flo left per JRT book with pics of the name.

and if you have a copy of Meet the Supremes, Barbara is heard on the spoken word monologue of "He's Seventeen"
