    From the Guardian today, posted as part of their look-back at notable people we lost in 2021. A touching, heartfelt tribute from Otis Williams.

    Lovely tribute. Thanks for posting this. I really like how he discusses how determined and hard working she was on stage. The Supremes made it all look so easy in their performances, which is a sign of the hard work and time invested to make them appear so easy.

    A poignant and fitting tribute from Otis. I love reading about other aspects of their lives other then the overly documented spats.
