The Marvelettes? No. But Gladys Horton did appear on one of TJ Lubinsky's PBS specials.
I'd be surprised if the Vandellas were even asked. By then, Martha was a solo act and Suzanne probably figured asking her would be enough. And don't forget, Martha did have another number, a duet...
I bought the Collectables disc after seeing Baby in concert at Joe's Pub in NYC. I haven't played it in a while but I think some of the tracks might have been sourced from not-so-pristine vinyl....
Not Motown but a similar book was produced for THE OTIS REDDING STORY vinyl boxed set from the late 80s.
Betty was Paul Williams' girlfriend.
In her first book, when Mary writes about the MOTOWN 25 finale, she says that she looked over and saw Stevie and Martha Reeves sharing a mike and thought about how close they all were. Then she...
I used to have a lot of fun in those groups and found some great info. But it was very weird when another poster started taking my posts and posting them verbatim in other groups. In the end, it...
In the book SUPREME EXIT, written with Nicole Chapman's input, There is a brief section called "Where Did the Money Go?" It says that there was a time or two when an uncle took some of the money and...
More than likely. I think there are some different clips in Dick Clark's montage as well.
I think that Martha Reeves. If it was Dionne, they probably would have shown her on camera. I haven't seen any photos of her at the event.
When it first aired, I thought it was strange that SOMEDAY started at the bridge. But finding out later that it was going to be a part of a medley made it make more sense. Given that the medley seems...
This was so early on that I doubt there are any professional videos or recordings of these shows. But it is a nice thought that maybe someone has some home videos of these performances.
OH BE MY LOVE was also a remake, having previously been done by Smokey and the Miracles.
I read the book last fall and enjoyed it very much. For me, it was nice to read about groups that I didn't know much about, like the Bobbettes or the Chantels. Or the later years of groups like the...
I think SOMEDAY was meant to be Diana's first solo single but Shelley Berger convinced Berry to release it under the Supremes' name instead.
Or it might have been Jackie Hicks of the Andantes. I believe she was the low voice in that group.
During the late 70s and early 80s, most of Diana's peers [Aretha, Dionne, etc.] were releasing at least one album per year. During some of those years, Dionne and Millie Jackson actually released...
There aren't any Supremes on this track. This was one of Diana's initial solo tracks produced by Bones Howe. When Diana's version wasn't released, they gave the track to Jean.
If I'm not mistaken, this documentary is one of the extras made for the MOTOWN 25 dvd.
It went on for some time. When she came to the Boston area in 1985, the act was billed as THE SUPREMES FEATURING MARY WILSON [I believe] and the ad featured a photo of Mary [wearing the TCB gown from...
Not sure, but looking at dates, it could possibly be Stevie Wonder's THAT GIRL.

I don't know if this was a consideration. But I believe Louvain is rather short. Onstage, it might have looked a bit off with her standing in Flo's usual spot.
Re Marlene, I have read various...
On the actual labels of the Supremes/Tempts TOGETHER lp, the sides are switched from how they are listed on the album cover.
