The singer in the middle [[Almeta Lattimore) has always reminded me of Cindy. The way she moves, and the way she purses her lips. Coincidentally she also holds down the mid range and stands in the...
Nor am I taking away from Ms.B. Cindy was/is a class act however there were many ladies [[Barbara Randolph comes to mind) who could have brought the Las Vegasy supper club glam to the image they were...
Not my point either. Cindy just happen to come in at that time and she was great for the part. If anybody said "girls here's how we're going to do it", it would have been Diana...and even then Gordy...
I honestly don't believe that Cindy had anything to do with though she carried it well. Remember she came from the Bluebelles and they did not utilize much glamor at all
The more glam [[and imo...

You do have a point. Flo, Mary and later Cindy's faces were so identifiable that it seems more personal to fans than with guy groups.
They also know what can hurt sales. People purchased the Supremes records because they were under they impression that it was the Supremes, not Marlene or the Andantes or whoever. Even today it can...
I agree. Motown was known for it's horrible record keeping. A person could spend the rest of their lives trying to piece it together and still never be able to come to a conclusion. There are still...
As time moves on and more truths are revealed I think it's highly plausible that Mary was the one who really wanted to be the lead singer. In this sense Mary and Lynda were a lot a like.
Motown...
I 've been listening to a lot of early 60's era recordings lately and I've come to really appreciate these artist in their earliest days.
The early Sups provided backgrounds for quite a few...
An interesting observation, of course we're all entitled to our own opinions.
However one classifies their voices, we can all agree that it worked! It was the combination of the three voices,...
I have always enjoyed this one.
I love the way they used just Flo on the ooohs and just Mary on the responses. Also notice how Flo is singing the lower parts with Mary slightly on top of her. A...

Imo, the issues were not with Flo's weight at all, as she was an average size for a healthy black woman with her height. The belief that in order for a black female artist to crossover they had to be...
Very sad news. Rest in Peace Mr. Davis!
