Hi, Everyone,
Just an update on the "Final Sessions" CD: I, along with Eric Iversen, went to the Art Direction studio last week. Susaye, the week before. I had a fantastic time. I was blown away by photos I had never seen before. I kept saying, over and over, "Wow"! It brought back warm memories of the greatest moments of my life! My Supremes' years!! Sometimes I forget that I was part of a group that was internationally-acclaimed all over the world. As you already know, only 9 ladies can make that claim: Diana, Mary, Florence, Barbara, Cindy, Jean, Lynda, Susaye, and, me... Again, Wow!! My Supremes' sisters!
Only 5,000 CDs will be printed and sold. The cover is absolutely stunning! And, as always, in Supremes' style, classy all the way! The song-selection is wonderful, and, with unheard renditions. There are several surprises. I'm so excited! I have to give my special thanks and love to those, who, I personally know, worked so hard to make this come to fruition: Harry Weinger, Andy Skurrow, George Solomon, Greg Ross, and to all of the wonderful fans who donated photos from their private collections. Invaluable!
Lastly, to Mary Wilson, who gave me that tremendous opportunity to become a member of this legendary, iconic group more than 37 years ago. I will forever be grateful to her. Long after I'm gone, my daughter, Shoshana, and grandson, Shaun, will be able to reflect back on that magical era of Motown and be proud. Their mother/grandmother was there. Yes! I was there!... Nothing or no one can ever negate nor take that away from me... The Supremes' music will forever play on...
I'm humbled... I'm grateful... I've been blessed.
Scherrie Payne,
Formerly of The Supremes
