If Florence Was Still Alive

I think had Flo not passed away when she did, she would have eventually gotten back into the music industry and started out on part two of her solo career, hopefully to much success, or at the very least, some success. Thus she would not need a FLOS group. Mary has been pretty adamant about reuniting the group only with Diana, so with Flo still alive, the three of them would have done RTL probably even sooner than 2000.

imagine if she was alive - would she have been invited to Motown 25?

David Ruffin wasn't
Eddie Kendricks wasn't
Marvelettes weren't

After her public comments about Gordy after the news broke of her financial situation, there's a good chance she would not have been invited. There's also the chance that even if invited she would not have wanted to be a part of anything that remotely honored Berry Gordy. And yet still there's the chance that if she and Diana had forged an adult relationship after their conversation shortly before Flo's death, that maybe Diana might have insisted Florence be a part of the reunion. Also Suzanne was apparently behind the whole project and her days at Motown were post Flo, so it's also possible that she may not have come to the table with the kind of negative attitude some others might have. A whole lotta what ifs because there's so many people involved in this. And lets be real, where their relationships and feelings for one another go, you never know what's going down with the Motown Family. One day folks hate each other and suing each other and all of that, the next day they're attending each other's events and taking photos. So who knows how this would've played out?
