If Martha went for that then she needed the money

Last I checked there were only one original Commodore. Ruth Pointer is the only living Pointer Sister performing with her daughter and granddaughter. There are no living Spinners. El DeBarge is...

As someone posted earlier, when Jean first joined a new medley of 60s hits was assembled and as Jean sang the lead on Come See About Me, Mary and Cindy threw in a verse from Baby Love and then from...

Yes, looking back I think the Supremes died when Jean left. And, after talking to her at length in 1978 I really don't think anything would have stopped Jean from leaving. Even if Bad Weather had...

Jean and Mary got along just find in the beginning, though Jean grew closer to Cindy. Jean was just not into the party scene like Mary was. While touring Jean stayed in her room and rarely went out...

Yes, the Jean led group did get some geers at one of the fundraisers, I don't remember if it was Save The Children or Operation Push or one of those types of things. Some of the Stax acts were there...

Mark Bego has seen them, he helped Mary with both books. When I was doing the Mysteries and Scandals on Florence in 2001 I got Mark to interview. I asked him specifically about Mary's diaries...

According to Motown, in their original releases the only Jean Terrell led Supremes single to hit the million mark was Stoned Love

Up The Ladder was over 800K in sales, Nathan was about the same. ...

OK, I think I can speak on the marital abuse from experience. My mother was a battered woman. I watched it helplessly for 12 years. Not only is there emotional damage done to the wife but to the...

I didn't realize there was an alternate vocal on Can You Give Me Love, I'll have to listen again

I bought this lp in its first release, in fact it was the first GK&TP album I ever bought. I enjoyed it immensely then and it still holds up 52 years later. Their debut Motown album is also...

I think possibly the main reason for getting rid of WDOLG is that they could never recreate the song anywhere close to the studio recording. It was actually quite boring when done live.

yea well that was the double standard. He could bone whatever women he wanted but when Ross started dating a football player he put an end to it quick, threatening her with her career. When she got...

If Mary didn't like being controlled she wouldn't have stayed with an abusive man for 7 yrs who beat her ferociously and drained her bank account. Pedro Ferrer was far more controlling than Berry...

It's not the Motown didn't like Mary, they just felt her contribution to the Supremes was more in image instead of talent. Mary had a deep singing voice much like Tina Turner or Anita Baker. In the...

I LOVE the single edit of Stoned Love. I thought repeating "don't you hear the wind blowin'" was a stroke of genius. I never liked River Deep but the single edit is also superior. For Stoned Love...

Many of the fans love this album, but I remember being underwhelmed. Motown was stingy, giving us barely 30 minutes of music. Two more tracks could have been added for sure.

In one of Randy's...

I was in attendance for the full week of shows the Supremes performed at Magic Mt in Cal in August 1973. This turned out to be Jean and Lynda's final shows. Mary was the only one of the three who...

Oh I didn't know you were to RTL. Cindy's offer never exceeded $1 million. The sad thing about this was the Cindy was not up to performance level even then. I think this showed at Motown 45. ...

Get what money and run?

I think you misread my post here, indeed there were times when Mary WAS truly the victim and times when [[Workin' Overtime opening) she played the victim. She surely knew she would not have been...

I think the saddest thing to me about all this was that going into the 1980s, and thereafter, the press pidgeon-hold Mary's stature. She had previously always entertained reporters interested in...

I remember that interview, Cindy was dreaming. She was such an optimist. God bless her.

There was less that a zero chance of such a show happening. What the fans either forgot or don't realize...

The whistles were a disco thing. Beyond that, Mary and Lynda were known to blow their whistles when a fine man walked by. They did it when Mary met Pedro
