Mary & Cindy
In many ways, the Supremes during my young days were always Mary [[may she rest in peace) and Cindy [[prayers and love during her illness). Which grouping do you prefer with them?

My favorite grouping is Diana, Mary, and Flo. All of my favorite recordings as well as favorite tv appearances come from that line-up.
I hasten to add that I certainly appreciate the later members. When I became aware of the group, the lineup was DMC but I only have vague memories of them together. I actually have more concrete memories of the JMC lineup. During the 70s, I ended up buying many DMC and JMC albums in the cut-out bins of Woolworth's and Bradlee's.
But I was always fascinated with the earlier albums, as seen on those old Motown inner sleeves. For some reason, I never saw any DMF albums in the cut-out bins so they were seemed unattainable to me. It wasn't until the release of the 1974 ANTHOLOGY [which I bought with that year's birthday money] that I finally had all of the DMF classics in my possession.

i think MJC were a very strong trio with jean covering the majority of the leads and then mary handling some and cindy a handful. i thought their attempt at a new sound and image [[a trio of love singing about world peace, god, nature and all) was spot on. unfortunately it just didn't evolve and develop
SMC had some of the best vocals. their 3-part harmonies on the Sup 75 album, especially the Ivey Woodford tracks, were sensational. and in their live setting, they were able to reproduce these rather faithfully

I just realized that I misinterpreted the original question thinking that we were being asked for our favorite grouping period.
When it comes to Mary and Cindy, my favorite grouping is DMC, followed by JMC.
