It seems to me that Motown was always quite indifferent to Mary Wilson. I don't understand why. She was certainly extremely attractive and photogenic. She was clearly one third of the Supremes,...

No, it was a case where Motown did the right thing. Someday was the perfect final DRATS song. It wistfully has memories of someone moving on. Had it been her first single, some may have thought is...

.I totally agree that it feels more airy and fun but there are moments that she is playing too much and it is not as understandable. Yes, it is a high voice like Diana and Jean but the version here...

I think in 1974, Cindy was probably hopeful for a variety show since it would keep them off the road and as a Mother to a toddler it probably would have been easier to stay put. Cindy also had...

I agree that It's All Been Said Before should NOT have been the first single release off of 1975. Maybe as a prerelease of the LP in 1974 it may have whetted some curiosity. He's My Man is a stronger...

I was so excited to see the Supremes back in 1975! They certainly recorded a lot of songs for this first new album. After Jimmy Webb and the way Jean was starting to sound shrill, this album offered...

Jean did a fine job with this song. I loved how it was reworked to showcase the lyrics as opposed to a peppy arrangement of the original which was in contrast to the lyrics. In later days, Scherrie...

The interview really missed the mark for me. This grouping also had something break into their chat on the Mike Douglas show. I can see why some people didn't care for this grouping. Reviews for them...

Florence's attorney stole her settlement, she had received some funds from a lawsuit so she had a new residence. When she passed, she hardly had a large amount of funds. Mary was not in the best...

So, according to Scherrie, Mary's manager was negotiating and when they accepted they were told the train left the station. So, Mary did accept. Maybe after the timeline the producers wanted but...

I looked for Randy and Mary's books to see if there was any mention of coordinating wardrobes for the show and there was absolutely nothing mentioned. I guess it did come from a fan somewhere. I...

Like you, I became a fan later but in 1970. Mary and Cindy together were the Supremes to me whether it was Diana, Jean or Scherrie on lead. It was exciting to see Cindy back but I can also see on...

Mary Brewster, I believe it was supposed to be white, black and silver. Cindy was in a white gown, Diana wore the silver top with black dress and Mary had worn a tight black Tony Chase outfit to do...

On Page 60 of Supreme Faith, Mary said that Smokey told her that he had written Floy Joy with Mary in mind. She said it was a kindness she would never forget and that he led her through her lead...

If you listen to the voices in each incarnation there are slight resemblances in each to the original trio. Of course, Mary was there from start to finish so her role was her own. Diana had the high...

Jean was an excellent singer but she would not have worked as well on the songs on HE. The harmonies of Mary, Scherrie and Cindy could not be beat. The addition of Susaye gave the group another...

I am not a psychologist but I think Diana and Mary had problems related to their childhood. Mary never spoke up because she was raised by an extremely strict Aunt and then was reclaimed by her...

I read somewhere that Jean at first was singing in the mold of the Supremes but wanted it to change to her sound. I think the Touch LP and later, the last 2 singles [[IGIMTM and Bad Weather) bore out...

The relationship between Diana and all of her former singing partners was somewhat tense. Once Florence left, they weren't exactly chitchatting like besties. She certainly liked Cindy well enough and...

That would have been interesting. Motown really used the Andantes on a number of records and they were crucial in the studio like the Funk Brothers.
Motown knew what they were doing with Cindy. She...

I don't think anyone is jealous of Diana Ross having a meal at a restaurant with 2 of her children. Ross is a master of publicity, something she learned at Motown. Her children are all somewhat...

I always found it interesting that Motown released a third single from the Floy Joy LP especially when it only released one from NWBLS and one from High Energy. I also always found it interesting...

I am sorry that your friend deals with that. I know many people who have anxiety attacks when in public dealing with people. I worked in retail and banking and even some coworkers had that anxiety...

I would have to say by the evidence that Florence Ballard had a problem with alcohol but was not an alcoholic. She used it as a way to deal with the pain of how Motown and Berry were treating her....

I thoroughly enjoyed Dreamgirl and it made me like Mary, Diana, Flo and Cindy even more since it told the story of their group.
I think a film and actual movie would be quite fascinating and...
