Diana Ross, Berry Gordy Jr., Mary Wilson

The Supremes

**Methuselah2** · 04-15-2013, 10:02 AM

That's the shot of the evening!
Thanks Mary.

**skooldem1** · 04-15-2013, 10:11 AM

That's the money shot.

**Methuselah2** · 04-15-2013, 10:30 AM

In the photo, above:

Diana's expression seems to suggest to me:
"Take the picture. I'm here. I'm smiling nicely. I'm doing it. I really am. That's it--act casual. But take the picture already."

Mary's expression makes me think:
"This is fabulous! I'm having a blast! I could stand here all night! Oh, and by the way, I just happen to have 1,000 copies of my "My Supremes" magazine with me. On sale in the theatre lobby now."

And, finally, Berry's expression seems to say to me:
"Well, here it is, 50 years later, and I'm still caught in the middle between them. Please, get the shot. Before all hell breaks loose."

And it is a truly great shot. That it is.

**thanxal** · 04-15-2013, 10:32 AM

Not being a mind reader, I think the three of them together says enough for me to be happy. Stirring the pot just doesn't seem to do it. Not today.

**longtimefan** · 04-15-2013, 02:35 PM

I cannot find Andy's FaceBook page??? Are there other pictures on there?

**jobeterob** · 04-15-2013, 02:39 PM

Andy has quite a few pictures from last week's event. He has some from last night as well. He was going to add some names to the pictures of the earlier event.

He is on FB under Andrew Skurow or Andy Skurow.

This is really an awesome picture. All 3 look healthy and happy, which is a good thing considering so many of our legends are no longer with us, or in poor health.

I thought I saw everything when I saw the photo of Diana, Berry and Mary and then you spring this fabulous photo on me, like I said the healing of the two original Supremes has begun, and I am sure Florence Ballard is smiling down from above on this moment.

The beauty and joy and excitement of all these Ross/Wilson photos really seem to point to one thing--

the sheer beauty, real joy, and intense excitement it would be to see them re-united in performance on-stage, along with Cindy Birdsong.

I agree. A Supremes reunion tour would be fantastic for everyone involved and fans would be overjoyed.

**Kamasu_Jr** · 04-16-2013, 12:53 AM

I don't want to read too much into a couple of photos. These photos could be the only reunion we will see. These women are almost 70 and didn't someone mention Cindy Birdsong was not in good health?

revvy · 04-16-2013, 01:55 AM

**lakedistrictlad1** · 04-16-2013, 02:47 AM

You just know that Diana - Berry - Mary picture is going to become one of those 'signature' Motown pictures for years to come. Seeing that this morning has put a smile on my face for the day.

**nathanj06** · 04-16-2013, 07:42 AM

Phenomenal!

**blueskies** · 04-16-2013, 08:03 AM

In waking up to a surreal world this morning....nice to see Mary and Diana together.

**ejluther** · 04-16-2013, 08:48 AM

it looks more like mary is giving the boss a
big fat slap

Ha! I thought the same thing but, thankfully, that's just evidence that photos can lie, right? And as for another post further up - a Supremes Reunion on The Tonys would be a great idea...

Roberta,
I read that Esosa, the costume designer for the show actually designed Dr. Reeves dress for the opening night. [[Emilio Sosa, who was on Project Runway is Esosa.) He evidently tweeted that Martha sent him a thank you message that made his night!

That is the shared dream of [[almost) everyone here, isn't it? It would make so many people so happy.

revvy · 04-16-2013, 12:24 PM

I have a dream. I have a dream that one day Diana, Mary and Cindy will be onstage together holding hands either presenting or accepting an award. I don't believe Cindy is in any shape to perform again, but seeing them together [[even for a pic at an event like the one above) would be enough for most everyone. It doesn't sound that far-fetched, does it? Dear Cindy, where were you? This may have been the only chance!
