@alighanavi I think it stands in nice contrast to Diana's flow and grace. Don't you? (like the whole reason people might dip their spicy Buffalo Wings in a sweeter blue cheese dressing?) lol
Flo was just the cutest thing ever - to me, the group was never really the same after her departure - just look at her, she's adorable. I wish that, somehow, we could turn back the clocks and give Flo a better chance. She had a strong singing voice, but in fairness I guess Diana had the light, pop sounding voice and it sure worked well on the hit records they had. So, I try to think of all 3 of them fairly, but I sincerely wish that things had turned out better for Flo.
According to most peoples accounts (Including Mary Wilson) Berry Gordy was Horrible to Diana Ross, demanding, intolerant, dominating, he insisted on Perfection from her, Flo & Miss Mary got off easy compared to Diana Ross
@TheReturnOfBigBear its very true that Berry pushed Diana beyond hard because he saw the diamond that laid that within her,and as with when producing a diamond you need a lot of pressure
@legedaryone I think Berry Gordy knew exactly what he was doing, I don't have anything Negative to say about the man, he was a Visionary, he saw the Potential, It took Drive, Ambition & a Strong work ethic to achieve the Goal, It's sad that people see these as Negative Qualities (when it comes to Diana Ross at least), She was/is Unique, to attempt to Diminish that is wrong
@TheReturnOfBigBear i totatly agree with everything you just saiod about Berryu Gordy, and while Diana is completly grateful to everythihng he has done for her, even she siad has said at times he could be a insenstive to her feelings with the constant critques
@bigbear39ca But, Mary wasn't the one sleeping with everyones' husband at Motown including their boss; Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson back in the day. That honor goes to Diana alone! That's the real reason she rose to the top, because she slept her way up to the top!
Agreed! However to word pretty doesn't come to mind when I hear the name Diana Ross. Scarecrow is more the word.........Florence was a fox, that's for sure.
@mikekei1 In my opinion Florence Ballard was slept on. Fact is Diana Ross got all the special treatment because Berry Gordy loved her, don't get me wrong though she still was extremely talented.
watch the shangri-la's performing "Shout" and you can see the same kind of thing. marguerite and mary jump up at once and have a hard landing on the stage, which breaks mary's focus briefly from lip-syncing, and they all smile. think they just built rickety sets back then.

Never noticed before, but you're right! Flo definitely looks down, then turns to Mary smiling, and Mary starts smiling too . ha ha
