    I know that a small group of Supremes fans want desperately to believe that Mary was 'the' talent in the group and was cheated out of superstardom and a glorious solo career. So be it. I've always thought Ronnie Spector should have had a more significant solo career, so there you go. But ... this video presents evidence that none of the talented ladies on stage had star power. I have no doubt that for those in the audience it was a fun and exciting event. I attended club shows by Formerly The Harlettes/Redd, Hedwig & Crossley, Sarah Dash, Ellen Foley etc that tore the house down for the small group of dedicated fans who were there. That's different from having what it takes to create and maintain a career. Gordy was correct in his assumption that without Diana or Jean the group had run its course. Logically [as if ...) if the success potential was there another label would have signed the group. Demonizing Gordy is both easy and senseless - there were other record labels who would have engaged the group if the potential were there.
