Sorry Mary if I double posted.
I had to get a new truck in 2022 and it had no CD player anymore but it had a 6 month free subscription to Sirius and I hate to admit, they sucked me in.
Today on...
Diana Ross’ Worldwide From New York: For One and For All concert in 1983 is the biggest concert headlined by a black performer with 1.2 million people in attendance. The event was held in Central...

There are a hundred similar from the old days - a fair few are deceased
There is little new activity other than some of the Motown stars passing and it seems even Diana is less active which is to...
Smokey Robinson recently said on Soultown that the show business community is small and they all know each other. Perhaps Diana’s interest in children made her a likely person to approach for...
Maybe it was as simple as Mary was just trying too hard and had no one she trusted enough to pull her back from the edge.
Almost every group stumbles when their focal point lead singer leaves and...
Until you educated me, I thought Mary did the Johnny Bristol ad libs on Someday We’ll Be Together
Yer a bad man, almost as bad as me
Mary from their ascendancy as hitmakers through to around 1983 I guess
I went looking for the songs with the greatest blends and harmonies - I thought that was so great. I loved finding Millie...
I always thought this was one of their best and most interesting appearances - from a fans perspective.
As far as the public is concerned, this is probably superfluous fluff they would skip over....
By the time of At Their Best, I believe Billboard either gave it only a brief mention or no review at all and I believe it didn’t chart at all just like MSS.
The Supremes were dead
The FLOS with Lynda would be cool opening for Diana.
Rhonda and Susaye love all the spiritual meditative new age stuff - a bit tedious to have a steady diet of it
Things change and people move on
Quite ironic that the FLOS have gone on forever with Scherrie and also Susaye and Lynda. They outlasted all the Supremes except Diana and do full length Supremes...
If all Mary got were “promises of career involvement and support”, then she must have been desperate and broke as Bayou suggests or again making stupid, uninformed choices.
She should have had a...
You pretty much have to be a party to the situation to absolutely know what happened
This is why I say it’s important to do your estate planning and be very cautious
Cindy and her could easily have provided emotional and spiritual support and used some of the money that came in for expenses - and then Cindy’s health deteriorated and the absent family resurfaces

Great how they’ve lasted and kept the Supremes alive like Otis kept the Temptations alive
Mary could have done this and been the original connection
I’ve wondered about this as well
The story is long in the public domain. Cindy can’t even communicate.
Just because Cindy and Flo were Supremes doesn’t mean they are well heeled; they may make a basic retirement income. Cindy’s...
Kenneth
I would say Canada is the same - it is extremely rare for the guardian in a will to be challenged - but sometimes they are no longer alive and sometimes they don’t want to or can’t do it...
I can see the possibility that Diana may have a thought or two of Mary and also Cindy and Florence when she does a Supremes song but I think she may be comfortable feeling that all of them and her...
Sounds like David and Ran Ran figured it out. Good digging David
This is because you are a caring and decent person. Many times, things can be worked out by reasonable family members.
Litigation lawyers only see the very worst fights - like the Aretha Franklin...
