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...

i think he said "the girls... here"

not in the US. this was international only

staging - so a lot have brought up the odd camera angle with Mary in front. i have to say i kind of like it. yes mary was forward of the group. but i'm guessing the 3 were all staggered. i don't...

while i know not everyone is super into the gowns, i have to say i was glad when the girls moved out of their "chiffon" phase lol. seems like late 66 and into 67 was all about wide flowing chiffon...

yeah i was never much of a radio listener. i always like to control the programming - even back in the lp days. and one of my fav of all tunes is You Can't Hurry Love. i really dislike the single...

very interesting how so many people on here tend to prefer the single versions of the hits. I'm almost universally on the side of the album version. i think all [[or almost all) of the singles are...

if nothing else it's a grammar thing. there's no reason to say "stoned" if we're assuming there aren't any drug references in the song. years ago a book/author mentioned that Stoned Love could have...

i've not heard that this performance was ever cancelled or had been attempted to be cancelled. Also i hear M and F pretty clearly in the Millie/Rose/Mame medley. yes they're absolutely lip syncing...

but she was 42 or so when Dreamgirl came out. that's gonna be tough to sell into a record company that someone at that age is ready to start a pop solo career.

she did try branching into other...

i was thinking if they did it in 72 and if they still really wanted to released IGIMTM, it could have been the single. maybe it would have done a little better if the parent album had been something...

yeah i think the issue was more that there weren't other offers. part of this is that mary didn't have a reputation in the industry. she wasn't the lead of the group. and when she did share a lead...
