This might have been discussed before, but I wonder how well a permanent MCL lineup would have worked.
There's evidence that this grouping appeared together on at least one occasion; in Hawaii. But did they also perform at the Copa as well?
I was looking at "Supreme Faith" this evening and came across a passage I must have missed before: after the Supremes disbanded in 1977, Mary was left to fulfill some dates. She asked Scherrie and Susaye to return, but they both declined. Interestingly, Mary then reached out to Lynda, who apparently wanted too much money.
But I wonder if she had said yes, and assuming Cindy would have returned as well, how they would have fared? Might they have stayed together as the reformed Supremes? There was still talk at this time that S and S would carry on with a third member, assumably Joyce. But that never came to fruition. Mary might have forged on with her solo career, but one has to wonder.
As it ended up, Mary did tour with Cindy and Debbie Sharpe.
