    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 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...

    Wonderful to hear that the show went so well. Pleased they did a tribute to Mary and that Lynda joined Scherrie, Susaye and Joyce.

    Motown used additional vocalists on a lot of groups. It certainly doesn't mean the groups couldn't sing or else the live shows would have flopped. The Four Tops were on When the Lovelight because...

    I think that Florence and Cindy resembled each other. In their face, they do have some similarities but they look more like distant relations than exactly like each other. They were a similar size...

    The Webb Album was a total misfire. He certainly failed since the Supremes were without Diana Ross since 1970 and not when he did this album. It didn't sound like the Supremes. It would have been...

    Yes, I saw that last night. It shows what a class act Celine Dion is. Winning Album of the Year meant a lot to her and she clearly remembered who presented it to her. She called Diana Ross and Sting...

    I may have some of the dates mixed up but I have seen Mary perform as a solo a few times. I had wanted to see the Supremes in 1975 but I was too young to go to a nightclub alone [[Holiday House) and...

    Maybe it will also eventually go to a streaming service like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Looks good. I saw her perform in 2002 for the PBS show Rhythm, Love and Soul.

    Thank you for sharing that, Carlo. I have seen that before on You Tube. Mary's voice was like a vocal caress on these types of songs. Her voice really anchored the Supremes to give the songs a...

    I think some people just like to stir up drama. Mary Wilson had every right to the name Supremes. She was there from start to finish. She kept on developing to become better and better until she...

    Diana's version of I Will Survive was a decent dance hit. I am sure she thought of many things that she encountered in life and liked the positive message of I Will Survive. I hardly think that she...
