The Cultural Significance of the Supremes in Japan?

[Albator]

The Supremes were important in the sixties, but since Oricon single charts started in 1968, we have little proof of this success.
It seems Diana Ross took all the light or most of the light since without her, the never charted.

But, they had quite legacy and they toured, at least 3 times in the seventies.

This is what I have.
