She also says that when Diana left the group, Mary had to decide whether she wanted to continue. She did, but she had to have someone step in to take Diana’s place. A lot of people asked her ‘Why don’t you do it?’ But she said, ‘I’m not prepared to do it.’ Knowing that Diana was being set up to go solo, she does not say why she didn't use her down time [[while Diana was in studio recording with others) to prepare herself with voice coaches and to build up her confidence

However, since then Mary has learned how to create opportunities, make things happen, and has confidence on stage

I also think that Berry made the right choice in picking Diana as lead But I do wish that they performed more as a harmony group , side by side , with Diana as lead But you cant argue with success, and The Supremes were definitely a success
