There is also an excellent interview here with Claudette.

It's interesting in the interview Claudette states the exhibit goes through July 1, 2017...I wonder why it is closing early? I love the beautiful stage wear in the background. The white and purple/fuchsia is very attractive combination!

I didn't catch that Darin. The uniforms in the background I remember seeing them wear on an early album cover I believe.

[marv2]

Yes, those were the outfits they wore for this album:

She's always been that way too.

My gosh Marv, I knew I recognized the outfits but it didn't click they were on the cover of "Hi, We're The Miracles"! Very neat they still exist, at least I would assume they are the originals. The cost to reproduce them would be high I would think, just to use in an exhibit. Thanks for pointing out where we all saw them originally!

You are most welcome Darin. I am sure we are going to see a lot of amazing items that are still in existence once the new, major addition is complete for the Hitsville Museum in Detroit.

This is the first I heard any mention of an exhibit to honor the Miracles.

This brings back memories of the Florence Ballard Exhibits which were held in 1987-1989. One was held at the Whiteley Gallery in L.A.; another at the Bridge Gallery in L.A.; and another at the EZTV Gallery in West Hollywood. These were followed up by a 1991 Florence Ballard Exhibition at the Westminster Cultural Arts Center which featured a concert with Gladys Horton. Alan White, President of the Florence Ballard Fan Club was responsible for all these wonderful events. I wish that this type of exhibit honoring Florence would be held in Detroit.

I remember seeing pictures from those exhibits honoring Florence. There similar ones in D.C. for the Supremes by Norwin Simmons.

The Grammy Museum seems to like showing love for Motown. I went to The Supremes exhibit last year, and this one looks similar. They also had a few pieces from Michael Jackson out at the time. It's a nice museum, well worth an afternoon if you are a music lover.

I wish I had known about this exhibit earlier. I would have definitely gone to see it. I too couldn't remember what album those outfits were from; I think they were used in their early days as "The Matadors," weren't they? They have that sort of look.
