It was nice to see them performing as a group in the end sharing leads and at times singing in harmony. Wouldn't changing the name to Mary Wilson and the Supremes and having Mary step up in front of the others with little or no camera time, just be history repeating itself?
I am old fashioned, I admit. To me, a group is a group of people who sing together in harmony, with a lead singer who usually does one part solo. Sometimes, each member does a solo in the song - like The Originals.
I get sad when I see groups like the Supremes, the Bluenotes, the Miracles, the Teenagers, etc change their name to feature one of the members. Especially, when the Bluenotes changed their name to Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes and then Teddy Bear sang all the leads.
This was the Supremes last tv appearance.
