with both Lynda and Susaye [[and frankly even Scherrie) there wasn't a very strong effort to help redefine the group with the onset of a new singer and personality. They did eventually do some with...

totally agree that they were trying to sort of ease things in. on GH it was definitely smaller. and then the bubble lettering on Reflections just helped to make "Supremes" more legible than DR.

you'd think they could have spent the 5 mins in trying to come up with some NEW stage patter. this sassy Pearl Bailey persona just wasn't Cindy

there were the ad libs in My World - maybe that's more of what i was thinking. You're right in You're nobody and also in Queen of the House Cindy kept the flo lines too

it's also interesting to wonder what the DRATS years might have been like with Flo still part of the group. clearly motown management understood flo's appeal. they were still giving her these...

i would imagine at someplace like the Copa, it must have been amazing to see the group. especially as time went on. the 65 Copa show was great but when we listen to the 66 Roostertail or the 67...

the 3 personalities really worked magic together. Diana was flamboyant. Mary really was the sexy one with her $10,000,000 smile and looks. Flo was the earthy Pearl Bailey one. and they...

some of the other tunes from spring 68 that might have worked with this revised Reflections lp could be If You Should Walk Away. You Gave Me Love was also recorded later but from an audio...

it's a scene from Glee where the kids were drunk for a school assembly and one of the characters barfs all over the Rachel character [[who was also the most annoying and hideous of characters lol). ...

agree - my POV is if it's something about their professional lives, it's completely open for discussion. personal issues are less so, outside of the ones that were specifically and clearly impacting...

the good thing is that it doesn't appear that it was widely noticed by others. i've never heard of any reviewers saying something or a wild newspaper headline. again, very fortunate. imagine if...

since i like all of the women and for different reasons, i'm going to highlight each lineup and a fav tune from that period

DMFB - totally raw and unaffected vocals, just so much urgency. You...

in Randy's book, when Flo came down to the dressing rooms that day, people in the area said that she appeared, at first, to be in a decent mood. they also said she appeared either hungover or...

i've never been a huge fan of In And Out Of Love but a few years back i was on Wikipedia reading about the girls' hits and one of the descriptions used for this tune was "Sunshine Pop." i was...

yes - it's a bit deeper, darker of a tone. a more mature sound definitely

HA! the Superman cape! lol :D

there's that old story of another fight between the Marvelettes and Sups. when Gladys said the Sups gowns looked like nightgowns. but when confronted by Diana who...

completely agree. makes you wonder what HDH might have done as a REAL follow up to Reflections or as the expansion of that sound. much of the Reflections LP is produced by others. plus some of the...

any dress with an empire waistline is going to increase the visual size of the wearer's frame. you can try to reduce SOME of this issue by keeping the rest of the gown very streamline. but anyone...

but let's face it, Sings HDH was pretty cobbled together too. although it seems more fans tend to like it that Reflections. But look at the glaring difference in sound, vocals, etc between Love is...

i'm a little surprised that THIS was what pushed her over the edge. Randy also states earlier that Berry had told Flo that Cindy would be accompanying the group's tour schedule "just in case" ...

i've seen pics of the Flamingo marquee as "The Supremes" but never DRATS. the girls only did the two gigs at the F before moving to the Frontier hotel property. and i don't know if the Flamingo...

as for the Reflections album, i think it is too obvious that this is a cobbled together package.

Pet Sounds came out in May 66, Sgt Pepper in May 67. Those two albums changed the whole record...

i wonder if they'd left the name as "The Supremes" for the Reflections lead single and the parent lp. then with Greatest Hits, make the change. i realize the timing for GH album is before the...

there's all sorts of conflicting info about the name change, when it occurred, reactions to it, etc.

Supposedly Gordy informed M, D and F at the April meeting about the name change, so it was no...

with Andy's departure from Universal, i believe you're correct in that the Reflections EE is officially cancelled.

i too asked about the booklet! would love the details and info. and if Andy...
