Last I checked, she's still alive.
So had I but my resources could not validate it.
I’m pretty sure she’s alive
Betty McGlown passed away in 2008. The last I heard Barbara is still alive.
Something that leads me to believe that she is still alive and the FANDOM article is bogus. The background information on the group indicates Barbara sang the Bridge [whatever that is] while the other three sing verses on After All. According to www.dftmc.info data, recording details are unknown but it lists [[lead-Diana, Mary, Flo). Something to think about. Has anyone ever heard AFTER ALL?
according to her listing in Wikipedia, she is still alive

Just an odd post if not true and cruel.
Here's After All- In Order of appearance verses- first Flo then Mary-Bridge Barbara -last verse Diana.Quote:

Barbara is still alive. Someone posted about her being dead and talked about selling off her estate without fulling getting their facts straight as it was someone different who died. Mary confirmed Barbara was still alive and well because she had spoken with her the day before it was posted on here that she was dead.
Wasn’t there another Barbara Martin who did some bg vocals on something related to Supremes/Lupine . Yes Mary confirmed she is living.
This is the first I ever heard of the Supremes WIKI that was presented by FANDOM. I wish there were a way to communicate to whomever produces it that they are incorrect in their information on Barbara.
There was Betty Kendricks and another singer named Barbara but the last name was not Martin.Quote:

The bridge is the part of the song usually between the second verse and chorus and the third verse. James Brown used to often sing [[or shriek) "Take me to the bridge!" to let his band know he was ready for the musical interlude which links the first verses to the final verse.Quote:

I am not a member there, did not sign in, and yet was able to edit out her death after researching the web and confirming that she is indeed, alive. If I was able to do that without being a member or signing in, imagine what people can do if they are signed in.Quote:
