Lynda, Jean and Mary

We have only ever heard from one source that Lynda was making demands - and this is the same source who said that Lynda declined the 1977 South America tour as she wasnted far too much money. Lynda was never asked to join the group for the 1977 South America tour.

Sadly some people feel that Lynda is fair game as she was only in the group for a little over 18 months.

No, she is fair game because she put herself out there like that.

I love any and all contributions that Lynda did while in the group and as a member of Former Ladies Of The Supremes. She was there when Cindy left to help round out the trio. She was there to sing lead when Jean was ill. She was there to go to Stevie and her brother to get Bad Weather for us. And besides she was so pretty as a Supreme. Lynda was not my favorite Supreme among the nine but I still loved her contributions.

Read Rolling Stone review of Touch as to how the critic viewed The Supremes without Diana. Diana and the Supremes were incredible; Jean and Mary and Cindy took the group to a whole new level musically. How many groups had the success they did after their original lead left??-not many. And of course Mary Wilson was there the whole time. Berry said she was the heart and soul of the group. He knows something about the Supremes!

Captain - here here! glad someone said it. Lynda was a short time member. but that should not remove the fact that she did make important contributions to the Supremes.

Supremes gowns are a drag queens dream. And I mean that in a good way.

Frank Wilson took the Supremes to a whole new level musically, not Jean, Mary and Cindy as they didn't write, compose, play instruments or produce.
