The Supremes - As A Group, Not as a Lead & Two Background Singers
In another thread it was asked why Flo and Mary were not featured in Twenty Feet From Stardom since they were background singers.
Today's Huffingtton Post has an article about them respecting the three of them as a group in such albums as Country & Western, A Bit of Liverpool, &Sing Sam Cooke.
On these albums the three of the women sing as a group , sing in harmony, sometimes share leads and are, for the most part, unassisted by The Andantes. It is a positive article and worth reading. It mentions how the Andrews Sisters never used replacements for Maxine and Laverne.
In the Country and Western album, it says
The album's high points are the Supremes' beautiful vocal blending on songs like "Makes No Difference Now" [[also on the Ray Charles album). Here, for the first and only time, each girl gets a solo verse and it's a joy to hear Mary and Flo step out before joining Diana on the climax.
