Yeah, by the time Diana's replacement was being sought, Tammi was far too ill to be considered.

Lol It does have a Euro-pop feel to it, doesn't it? The Supremes were so much better than this recording.
She looks great!
Regarding Barbara Randolph, I wonder how true it is that Gordy considered her for the Supremes. Didn't they have something going on? Maybe Gordy used a possible replacement in the group as a way to...
Oh Supy.:p The question wasn't why Flo was asked to sub for Wanda, but what would she have done if she had been asked to permanently replace her. I find it hard to believe she would have ditched...
As Patti would say: "Heck no!"
Why would she leave the group she heads up to sing backup in another group? I know the popular thing to do is assume that everybody everywhere would have jumped at...
Oh, specifically about this song, I hate their version. To me it's one of the few songs the Supremes cut that I honestly categorize as crap. There are songs I don't like, even hate, but I wouldn't...
Mary isn't doubled, it's her and Florence. Mary is just incredibly prominent. This was amongst the sessions where IMO Flo and Mary phoned it in and the producers never bothered to re-cut it. [[It's...
Yeah, at that point in the game, and on a show like Shindig, the Supremes in form fitting sequins wouldn't work. And this is a great example of how they looked like the average young lady...
Yeah, I don't understand the accusation that gets flung at people who recall memories of the past that don't speak on Diana's work ethic or talent. Diana has a reputation and I still believe that it...
Ah, "White" and "Silver" must be what I was thinking about as the extra song or two. Thanks John. I'll have to listen to the mono "Santa" and listen for the chatter. I think the mono "Children's...
I'll have to listen out for that.
I like their version of "Na Na", but as a single? Hmmm. It might have worked.
Looks like everybody has chosen what I might have chosen. Lol
I think Right On might be the album in the entire Supremes discography that had the most potential singles, IMO.
Interesting pick of "Loving Country". I love it as an album track but I don't know if it would have gone over well on the radio.
I could never support something where the person behind it was so hellbent on cashing in on someone else's legacy that they would completely disregard the feelings of that someone. As private...
I'm thinking the places the girl groups like the Supremes and Bluebelles were shopping in the early days weren't the kinds of places that sold dresses for hundreds of dollars. Probably 10, 15 bucks,...
Sounds like Mary, Cindy and Scherrie. I can make Mary out in places in the mix. The interesting thing about the MSC lineup is I'm almost 100 percent certain that the three Supremes are almost always...
Floy, visually this really isn't a fav performance of mine. While Mary facially looks particularly gorgeous, the dresses do make the group look a bit plain, which is usually not how one would...
I know "Twinkle" and I believe "Christmas Tree" are different vocals on the stereo and mono albums, but I seem to recall there were one or two more. Is this correct, and if so, which ones? Thanks in...
I've heard Patti tell the dress story multiple times. I find it hard to believe that Patti heard Martha's story and then usurped it for herself. I can't remember if Patti wrote about it in her book....
There were "tons" of venues on the so called Chitlin Circuit that did not include the more prestigious theaters like the Howard, Regal or Apollo. The Supremes performed outside of Detroit often once...
Not counting specialty albums and duet albums, I Hear A Symphony, A GoGo, Sing HDH, Love Child, Right On, Touch, and MSS have in common the fact that they only contain two singles. And Cream of the...
Why do we have to think about those things? They are hardly the same thing as what Patti alleges.
There is nothing the Bluebelles/Labelle had in common with the Supremes other than their race,...
