Are Mary and Flo's vocals still on In And Out Of Love? Sounds like just the Andantes to me.
It's an audiophile forum basically.
Audio for this and another show from March of 1967 exist from a user on the Steve Hoffman forum. I've tried to contact him to obtain it because he didn't know what to do with it but I haven't been...
Didn't Cindy say in her interview with Goldmine that Diana helped her out with the dress? Or am I not remembering that right?
I have a live Four Tops album from 1974 and it was all their own songs in the setlist. No standards or cover songs.
I remember seeing the setlist from when Jean first joined the Supremes and they...
Was the Day Will Come Between Sunday and Monday recorded as a Jean solo being that it's with the Andantes? How this amazing song remained unreleased for years is beyond me.
I have been listening to the Jean albums a lot lately. I rarely ever listen past Rodgers and Hart but have branching out more into the 70s grouping. I'm sure this has been discussed before but do you...
It's definitely worth getting Rob. I loved it mainly for the Ronettes' part. Some quotes from Nedra that I had never seen before. Estelle's story is very sad. I knew she had mental issues but didn't...
I've always wondered about this too, Mary. Keep Flo for the recording and TV appearances and the really big important concerts but have Cindy do most of the touring.
Georgeanna stopped touring...
I've said that about Mary and Diana: piss poor communication.
They never discussed:
Flo leaving the group
Diana leaving the group
Flo's death
Motown 25
Again piss poor communication.
I agree. I always say the Supremes began to slip in 1968. They were becoming too square. I think they had a chance to rebound and evolve with Jean but opportunity missed.
I do love the Touch...
To be honest the first time I saw this reunion, I was not thinking "Oh no! They're wearing mismatched attire!". I thought Mary looked fantastic and she was going to get a thunderous applause...
Does anyone else hear a man singing in the backgrounds on this? And I'm not referring to Smokey's synthesized vocal. I hear it on the "oh yeah"s during the verses and on the chorus. It sounds like...
I didn't realize she was short. I guess that made it harder for her to wear the gowns.
I just remember reading how much she wanted to be out on the road and be in the limelight yet Marlene didn't...
Does anyone know why Louvain wasn't considered as a replacement for Flo? Even when they needed someone to stand-in for her onstage like when Marlene did?
She had a soprano voice, they had a more...
My apologies if that wasn't the intention but yes it gave me a big laugh when I read that.
Love this one and always have. Love the live version they did on Flip even more. Smokey's voice doesn't bother me as much. I'm surprised it didn't chart higher.
Keeping the Supremes legacy alive? That's a joke, right?
I have a 1999 Sam's Choice spaghetti strap red dress she wore for her debut at Vince's Pizza in Vorhees NJ. Unless you can provide tight security, I will not be donating it.
I call dibbs on Miss Baker's display.
I still have a fish bowl filled with some gravel from a parking lot she performed in back in 2001.
I have some of the LPs of the earlier albums like Where Did Our Love Go, More Hits, A Go Go, etc but they're not the original pressings so I doubt they're worth anything.
I had some of the later...
The recent thread of Florence's solo album in stereo circulating among fans got me to thinking of all the guys I used to obtain bootlegs and video footage from. A lot of them have passed on. One guy...
Does anyone else think the line in Forever Faithful, "won't you please come see about me", was a nod to her Supremes days?
Isn't it sad? Somewhere there will be a niece and nephew cleaning out poor old Uncle Fred's basement, who preferred the company of men, and they're going to find the bootleg with the stereo mix of...
