I am a huge fan of vocal groups because I love harmony and the Supremes- Florence, Diana and Mary- are among the best to ever do it, IMO. As much as I love the sound of Flo and Mary together, I do think producers often did a disservice by not including Diana on backing vocals. Together, their sound was great. I have opined in the past that had the group never scored a hit record, Gordy may have kept them on in the same role as the Andantes.
Personality and charm wise, I don't think the original trio can be beat, but the sound Mary, Cindy and Scherrie achieved on backing vocals might be the most technically perfect blend of any grouping of Supremes.
So when it comes to THREE Supremes singing in harmony, what's some of your favorites? Any grouping, studio or live.
