Does anyone know if the Jean lead Supremes ever performed at London's Talk of the Town? I know Cindy performed there in the 80's, but, it was called something else by then.

You raise a good question. I never really knew what venues in the U.K. that Jean, Mary and Cindy played. Anyone out there able to fill in the blanks?

It was called the Hippodrome when Cindy performed there

No. They just played theaters here in the UK [[and the Albert Hall of course which Jean then did again in the 80's with Scherrie & Lynda). The 70's Supremes didn't play the Talk of the Town - it was already on it's way out by then - the big names didn't perform there so much and eventually Peter Stringfellow picked it up and turned it into the Hippodrome.
