Chart #19...

By and large yes. However Ross relinquished her claim as The Supreme twice, first by separating her name from the title and second by leaving the group altogether.
Mary on the other hand was loyally...

interesting .... if they ditched the name "Supremes" ....then as who would they be instead and what would've been the purpose??

The producers of their records didn't agree.

I envy your experiences of them live, come to think of it, don't most live acts sound great to us live? Or we want that to be the case and are...

MB, thanks for bringing the link to the song of focus forward !!

How do you think the Masc 4 Masc action would have been received if Motown had let it be included on the released 45??

Hmmm All the supposed Motown legacy acts with various members have managed to be successful enough through time to put food on the table

is that the goal ?

if so Mary did fine with that on...

After reading how miserable the pointer SISTERS were, there’s no way these three thrown together strangers could have maneuvered through those same times.

I'm trying to imagine someone telling Patti Labelle to her face, listen while...

I can't think of anything more insulting to a vocal group.... not widely done I'm sure ...

thank you reese.

I suspect another reason is that Donny wasn't looking to make a career out of being "the duet guy".

Did Aretha duet with anybody before the 1980s?

Ruth has trouble remembering her current husband by his right name, much less a single song from that album :p

"tell me jeeves, who is the young whipper snapper? some runner up on America's Got Talent I presume??"

I get the feeling she could put your eye out!!:D:D

"Get the queen her smelling salts. This is a different Diana that's returning."

what about the two brothers ......nothing about the brothers??

wow its like a happy ending to a FAIRY-TALE:cool:


well .... except for ....all the collateral damage caused along the way of course

I find the whole CITY OF ANGELS album worthy of a focused discussion and I was tempted to start a thread on it specifically, but its hard enough keeping up with this one, much less managing two,...
