Sour Grapes & Jealousy can make people say alot of things, The simple Fact is Diana Ross had the most Discipline, Determination & Cross Over Potential at the time & thats where the Big Money was,, Gladys & Diana made the bulk of their Fortunes after Leaving Motown
so it wasnt so much talent it was who motown wanted to put money behind to make them move alot of artist got shelved the isleys,tammi wasnt pushed before getting with marvin gaye and she had the drive the talent and looks but berry had a focus and it was mostly diane cause come on now we know gladys knight got talent we knows from her years of hits she has the drive berry just had one focus.
david they way he worked that im losing you he made diana sing that song she actually song the hell outta that song due to david working it when the tempts replaced him it was a huge mistake dennis couldnt measure up
Diana was weak on the falsetto. But the entire number was staged for her.....by the end of
the song she was way out front and the Sups and the Tempts were reduced to dancing puppets. In retrospect you can't really compare......everyone else on stage was handicapped.
I'm with icecolddude96. Diana Ross was good too, but she was not worth the frontwoman spot like Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson were. Man those two can sing circles around Diana anyday. And if any smartasses say "Yeah, that's why Diana got the glory, right?" then listen to the singing styles and skill. Probably dont know skill if it bitchslapped you. Now DAVID, whoa man he can NEVER be matched. I dont care what anyone says. No one could touch him in Motown. NO ONE. Just the truth.
David sounds like he's over-singing and hoarse to boot. Diana was/is the one with versatility and everything else going on. Not saying David's performance wasn't good, but don't try and tell me he was a better singer than Diana. I'm not buying it.
@SpazChat they said at the last mintue they had to change the key because she kept complaining it was too low for her to sing sources that was at rehearsels for this show they even had to change the boxes so it would say diana ross supremes diana ross temptations and im quoting david said im gonna give that wig wearing bitch a run for her money.
@youneedhead11 , Puhleeez. I see just as many boxes , if not more that say "Tempations" on them. Jealous haters are all you are. And perhaps the key was too low for her to sing, so what? Why is that an unreasonable complaint for her to make. She was THE star that deserved at least that much. They could have easily switched keys when David sang solo.
@SpazChat get the book its called all that glitters it states from someone who was there that at first it said the temptations and supremes then diana complained and also they were rehearsing and diana called berry and complained the key was too low for her the next day they had changed it get the book from words of a close friend of the tempts and supremes tony turner he should know he was there not you so im going by what he witneseed not you an outsider again get the book.then come
@SpazChat he still sounded good but what happened they had to change the keyes at the last mintue i read it in a book called all that glitters a close friend of both groups who was there diana kept complaining so thats why you hear a little strain but he still kilt it.
@MrLilkeith804 Lol EveryBody Knows That Paul At One Point Was The Choreographer I Think Thats Why Him & Mel Were Always In The Front Because They Danced Better
Were you there?, How the Hell do you know how anyone was treated?, If a Person can make a Million Dollars, S T R E T C H I N G the Truth, they will do it!, It's called Self Interest, Mary Wilson knows all about that, Almost everyone interviewed (who has no axe to grind or money to make) say's Diana is Reasonable, Polite, Direct & easy to deal with
All people have to do is have talent and work hard. You are not born a star, you earn it with hard work. This is true in anything: school, sports, singing, or whatever. Thank you for this lesson Miss Ross.
@kplife2001 ..true talk but u don't have to be a bitch or an ass and treat people disrespectful because u are talented..all it takes is for people to lose interest.......
@leniebabe44 People believe too much of whats been said about DR,& she's never defended herself,when in actual fact she cud easily do just that! I'd bet my life & everything I own that she cud write volumes about the way she was treated & the things that went on backstage against her.Unlike "sum1 else" she never did kiss-n-tell cos she's way too professional.Read "A Lifetime To Get Here" and realise the way she was TRULY treated by Berry Gordy and others around her! It was FAR from easy for her!
The Supremes Appealed to a more diverse audience than The Temptations, Largely because of Diana Ross, Talent is a matter of taste, Ambition, Drive & Discipline are qualities many former Motown performers lacked
@TheReturnOfBigBear ,true,they had a bigger white audience than the Tempts and the Tempts had a bigger black audience,thats because The Tempts were R&B,as were their songs. Holland-Dozier-Holland who wrote for the supremes admitted that they made songs for white people,they made sure that the songs instruments appealed to white people,whereas Smokey had R&B in his blood,so he wasnt trying to appeal to white people, he just wrote and produced music straight from his heart
@tuzwol motown was the sound of young america i have read evryones book including berry gordys.the temptations crossed over on the charts alot so they appealed to white kids as well i run into alot o whites who were teens at the times who loved the supremes as well as the temps berry had the tempts record a album of standards as well even both groups had the mass appeal even thought the supremes were wider because of dianas voice wasnt too soulful but berry said it could cut throught transitter
@TheReturnOfBigBear thats why berry had charm school but alot of groups passed on it alot passed on choreorgraphy class with cholly atkins holland dozier hollns idea for diana they said was a cross between mini mouse and eartha kitt thats what they had said diana did have the driv it wasnt so much talent because alot of singers theyre could singer her home berry wasnt putting alot of money behind alot of them thought like brenda holloway she was before her time in vocals,tammi terell
So it's okay to bash everyone else? Some of u Supremes/mainly Ross fans are hyprocrites. I've seen some very ugly & disgusting comments made about Mary & Flo on other utube pgs. As soon as somebody says something that they don't agree w/ about Ross in a constructive way, here come the crazies. Diana had drive & talent but Ruffin was a gifted singer. PERIOD. Ross was no match 4 him when it came down 2 singing or performing. This clip clearly shows it and Ross knew she didn't stand a chance.
@royalsoulness That is so very true. There are 3 factions of Supreme fans in which Mary and Flo fans are allies. I love the Supremes, but I LOVE and ADORE Flo much more than the other two. I quit feuding a long time ago. OK, with that said, I certainly agree that David was far more gifted than Diana. David was THE MAN, plain and simple. As a matter of fact, I think the Tempts as a whole were more gifted than The Supremes.
@terrybigteekemp Yes, it's pretty fruitless w/ all the immature & assisine comments by folks who really aren't 'fans' but r just a bunch of dangerously obsessed & bitter people looking 4 attention. I love the Supremes as a whole & don't give a crap about this ridiculous vicious sniping between fans who didn't even know these women. I'm also a big Temptations fan & the Supremes really were no much for them. Now, if it was Flo singing lead, that would have been awesome!
@royalsoulness LOL, could you imagine if Flo was still a Supreme here. I don't think Otis would be able to concentrate because he would be too busy check out Flo's super hot body. She would be up front moving and shacking her stuff and "O" would be messing up the whole routine.
damn, i jus bought Ed Sullivan's Greatest Hits: Rock 'N' Roll Forever hoping that this whole performance would be on it, but only has the end. was pretty bummed about that, the whole performance is on the dvd Diana Ross & The Supremes: In Performance 1964-1972, but horrible video/audio quality on that one, anyone know where to get the full performance of this with decent audio/video?
Since The Supremes were one of Ed's biggest regularly invited-back guests, and one of the 1960's most important musical acts, it'd be nice if they put out a DVD of all The Supremes' Sullivan performances--including the specialty numbers they did on those shows along with their own hits. Ditto for other acts who were regulars on his show, instead of just piecemeal DVD issues. (Supremes singing "Always," medley with Ethel Merman, etc.) Can't blame fans for posting what SOFA's DVDs don't have.
@italoman9 A DVD collection of The Supremes' Ed Sullivan Show appearances just came out . It's available on Amazon. Also, a DVD collection of The Temptations' performances , and a 2-CD set of ALL The Motown artists Ed Sullivan appearances .
@williamg2552 i just got my temptations ed sullivan its this complete performance they sangd get ready my girl which was switched to my guy stop in the name of love nad im losing you the dvd is worth it and i only piad 8 dollars on amazon its good uncut like it was when it first aired december 1967
There's a very little noted but interesting moment here when Diana gets a piano cue in the middle of the medley to establish her key for the next passage. The Sullivan Show preferred live orchestra, live vocals. Sometimes for Motown acts lip synching was employed for the hits because the house orchestra could not replicate the Motown sound effectively. Singing live, it was very hard for the singers to hear the orchestra clearly on stage, hence the piano cue in this case.

Well, i give up with The Supremes. For what it's worth, there were better groups at Motown during there time. The Temptations were more successful than The Supremes and to be quite frank, with out Florence Ballard, we won't know what the hell happened off stage. Mary fans go bash Diana. Diana Fans go bash Mary. Florence fans bash both of them. See if i care.
Ok to go ahead and clear this whole thing up, BOTH Diana and David were good. BUT, I'm sorry diana fans but mister David Ruffin was and still is a better singer than diana ross, Levi stubs and even the late great Marvin Gaye admitted it, David had a soulfulness In his voice that nobody, including him, could match.
@icecolddude96 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Ruff was the greatest singer ever to pick up a mic. He made his voice do things I have yet to hear any professional singer do to this date. Not Marvin, not Luther, not Al, nobody could sing the way he did. People say Diana has a distinct voice, but when Ruff picked up the mic and unleashed his vocals, the whole world knew it was him. NOBODY, can do the things that man did. NOBODY!!!
@terrybigteekemp Well, we all have our opinions. Well, here's mine. Not only is David Ruffin not the best singer ever, he wasn't even the best singer within the Temptations. Both Dennis Edwards and Paul Williams were better. Luther Vandross was the best ever, then Teddy P., then Eddie Levert. That's my opinion... isn't that what's great about the USA?
@dienglee That's what I love about the USA. I also LOVE the singers you have mentioned. I saw Luther in concert in 96 and he was amazing. I also have to put Marvin in that list too. But Luther was great, I surely can't deny that.
@terrybigteekemp Cool. Now, it certainly is resonable the think David was the greatest. He was a dynamo on stage and in the booth! And, like you, lots of people thing he was the best....perhaps he was. I can tell you are a very reasonable person.
@icecolddude96 How was David a better singer? David's voice was very one dimensional, whereas Diana has always been known as a melody master with her voice, with better phrasing, timing, expression, lilt, etc.. Just because someone's voice sounds like a tuba, that doesn't make them a better singer. Diana's voice had the quality of a flute, clarinet or saxophone, but it was also strong in its own way.
@TheLeatherstuddedkis david most definately wipe the stage with Diana sure she's great and all...but her "sweet and tender voice" does not go with the song. If you are losing your love i'm pretty sure you would not be happy and smiling about it like she is...
Ok. sweetie now for today's grammar lesson, since the goat that bore you didn't teach you verb conjugation:
1. "bared" is not the past tense of "bore"
2. "stocked" is not the word you want, dear-heart. "stalked" is, boo-boo
3. "cunning" vs. "conning", i think was the dribble you peddled
now when you've graduated from kindergarten, maybe you can try to use BIG people words in your pathetic mission against "Diane...is it?" which idiots like you we laugh at b/c WE LUV EITHER NAME!! Omg..
Diana tore it up!!!!!!! She was the BIGGEST STAR on that stage that night!!! David Ruffin never, ever attained the kind of stardom that Diana Ross has. The Temps likewise. Oh, but it was probably due to the fact that Miss Ross was "doing the grown folks" wit Berry Gordy! Oh, ok. That's probably why no other American group(black or white, male or female)was as successful as DIANA ROSS & The Sups. Man, that Diana Ross and Berry Gordy were packing so powerful stuff!!!!!
It is soo messed up how many Black people love to criticize and find something wrong with other successful Black people. It's like a obsession with them to cut other successful Black people down. That's one of the main reasons why Black people haven't progressed as a whole. They have the crab in the bucket mentality. They have been in this country 400 years, but yet are still at the bottom of the barrell, while other immigrants have been in this country a short time, but they are flourishing.
DIANA ROSS HAS BROUGHT ALL THE NEGATIVITY TO HERSELF BY THE SELFISH WAY SHE ACTS. THE FLOP OF THE REUNION IN 2000 SHOULD SHOW HER IT'S THE THREE SUPREMES WE ALL LOVED. NOT JUST HER.
@TheInasboi Depends on how you look at it. The 2000 show was actually a reminder that most don't want to see Diana in a group. She's a solo artist. Keep in mind her many shows as a solo artist have often sold out. I for one, have no desire to see her in a trio.
Diana Ross had more of a pop sound than R&B. You cannot compare her to the Temptations. They are both equally great but have their own sound and style. As a singer I don't think Ross had the best voice but she had the ability as a musician to use it to the best effect. The way she and Supremes sang show tunes and standards with ease was unheard of for pop groups in the sixties. Berry Gordy knew that he had an act with the talent to appeal to all age groups.
god, all the negativity about diana's singing...she was gettin down on this song! she worked her butt off and confidently sang with david. he says he didn't like her attitude??? from all accounts he had an enormous ego and even more attitude than her. didn't he want the group to be david ruffin and the....man haters just see things so one eyed. diana deserves a medal for performing with jealous people that tried to kill the hand that fed them. go diana, you are brilliant...and still surviving!
@wonderboyjoy THANK YOU FOR YOU COMMENT. These Ross haters, yet they continue to watch videos of Diana. And yes, David did want the name of The Temptations to be "David Ruffin and . . . " And, let's not forget, just before T.C.B., David wanted the billing to read "David Ruffin with Diana Ross . . .along with The Temptations and The Supremes. Needless to say, David's butt was thrown out of HIS group due to HIS attitude.
@wonderboyjoy I would give you ten thumbs up. these haters on here continue to pit diana against david both were great and Equal. because david could NOT sing everything including broadway standards that diana and the supremes easily sang. Notice the Supremes were on Ed a lot more than David and the His Tempts(something if he had His way and a reason he got KICKed out the group because of his massive Ego. funny no one bashes the tempts for kickin david out. he was NO angel.
@blkshepherd You call us "haters" we're "justice seekers"
The difference between The Temptations & The Supremes is very simple, the only one committing ADULTERY with the Motown boss Berry Gordy was Diane Ross who after getting herself pregnant and producing LOVE CHILD Rhonnda Gordy acquired preferential treatment and the access to call her own shots including changing THE SUPREMES from a FEMALE TRIO into a LEAD & BACKUP SINGER placing herself to shine and the others on her shadow!
@TWTR4EVER and i guess you FORGET that Virgin Mary Wilson was banging Tom Jones Steve Mcqueen Flip Wilson and other Married men at Motown while diane was kicking it with one man.Mary slept with several married Men.also, dummy Rhonda didnt come along until way later after diana was NO longer a Supreme. so check your history . justice seekers sound more like Drunk haters . Screw You Diane Haters!Mary was the real whore committing adultery with Tom Jones who was Married at the time!
@blkshepherd Mary was no virgin, and yes she had sex with lots of married men, all good looking and hot like her and for fun and personal satisfaction!
Diane not only chose a married troll (Berry Gordy) but also made sure to get pregnant and bared a LOVE CHILD out of wedlock (Rhonnda Gordy) that she use to get preferential treatment at Motown and to control The Supremes!
@TWTR4EVER Ok. How can diana use her child to gain control of the supremes when Rhonda was born after she'd left the group. You're funny. Diana was a star long before the birth of any child. And what the heck does the look of the men have to do with anything? Surely you're kidding because no one could sound that dumb.
@LANORDA9 Because he's purposely misleading under the guise of "truth-telling." Many tend to do that concerning Diana Ross. Miss Ross left The Supremes forty years ago and this troll is still foaming out the mouth; he is eternally depressed.
@TWTR4EVER Diana Ross sang 97% of the leads from the moment they entered Motown until her departure from the group, therefore, the Supremes were always a lead singer and backups. I don't see how two consenting, unmarried adults committed adultery, but nice try. Rhonda was born almost two years after Ross left the Supremes, years after Diana rose to stardom. Your lies won't work here, buddy.
@TWTR4EVER Diana was his girlfriend just as many other women have been, the only difference is that she's a superstar. Diana is a talented, hardworking, awe-inspiring lady who joined Pop/Soul like no one before her. You are a jealous, lying internet creep who spends his days obsessing over someone you supposedly hate. Your ramblings have no power. You need therapy and a constructive hobby.
@AnnabellaSteMarie This is one of the most intelligent, articulate and insightful comments I have ever read on Youtube! It also made me laugh.You said it exactly how it is! Thank you. I too am so tired of seeing TWTREVER's negative comments with every single Diana Ross video. What a weird existence he must have, it really is bordering on the insane.
@TWTR4EVER so????????? that never stopped me from buying her records. who gives a shit about their personal life??? many singers, rock stars etc have done far worse than diana...especially all the male whores who brag about it in their biographies. it seems sexism is alive and well.
@TWTR4EVER ong what an idiot, you are. Did you HEAR David Ruffin screeching and screaming, he's can't even hit the notes. But more importantly, on EVERY SINGLE YOUTUBE CLIP of Diana Ross your name and negative comments are there. You detest Miss Ross so much that you purposefully seek out and WATCH all her stuff?? wtf?? Queen, you really need help for your obsession with Diana "18#1 hits" Ross cause you're a borderline psycho and the world doesn't need another stalking psycho fag. Um, scary.

@Baldnsexynchi U r so right! TWTR4EVER is VERY scary, but not in a clever way.Scary in a completely psychotic way! Can u even imagine how vile he is in person?..or maybe he's such a coward that the only way he can release pressure is to troll Diana's videos and release his venom hidden behind his PC?I bet he has bodies buried under his house! Notice how, when he doesn't know what to say, he has to resort to crudities about peoples' parents. Maybe his time in the orphanage made him that bitter!
I would actually think about buying this DVD if I wasn't so pissed off at the lack of David in this clip!! I'll wait for someone else to buy and post it... Corporate assholes!
how r yll dumbass gone sit rite here and say he wiped the floor with her..............She and him cant be compared.he has a huge voice and she has a baby voice.......and he must not have wiped the floor with her....who was the most successful motown group(the supremes).....so yll dumb assess shut up
@theml2s well motherfucker look at her and mariah carey...they both dated there bosses and have more #1 hits than anybody soo wat the fuck...yll motherfuckers trying to say shit it dont matter that was 40 years ago when will yll dumb ass let it goo..its over they are senior citizens now but yll still talking shit yll sound real dumb
Does anyone know if the full version of this performance is still up on here?, And what is the name of the post if it is still here?. Thanks in advance if anyone does know.
This is a injustice to the art of music by cutting out the GREAT DAVID RUFFIN`S PART, YOU FAKE MUTHA FUCKAS DONT WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TRUE TRUE GREATNESS!!!! HE MADE DIANA ROSS SOUND AND LOOK LIKE SHIT IN THIS VIDEO. R.I.P MR. DAVID (G.O.A.T) RUFFIN
Ruffin wiped the stage with Diana Ross. When he let out that scream and headed to the front of the stage, she should have put her mike down and just danced.
It wasn't that she was bad - he was that much on fire.
@Bassman968 folks make me laugh bashing Diana to build up David with his Huge Ego. exactly why his band members who by the way were Original members..David wasent even an original member he was brought in as a replacement. He was part of the classic five but Not an original. he had the biggest Ego out of the group and wanted it changed to David Ruffin and the Temptations even though they had Eddie Kendricks who Equally Led Unlike Flo ballard. Eddie was 2nd Lead. and Paul was their first lead.
It's easier than acknowledging that, ore than 40+ years later, Sullivan's organization's still showcasing Ross b/c it knows that she's the top act on that stage(as ES did), which crushes them, leaving them feeling rejected-yet again, by a major star-maker, even after his death, so, they come here to whine, accuse & bash, succeeding only in revealing their raging jealousy.:)
It's their only recourse, ineffectual though it may be.lol
@MrJld123 ..You betta know..you right!!! David Ruffin had it all!! Pure God given talent!! He was pure emotional truth...Diana??? please!!! She doesn't sing..She whines!!!
@ronnykmarshall I know that u retard. The full clip was on just a couple of weeks ago, and David Ruffin Vocally MURDERED Diana Ross. She's no where close to David Ruffin, so don't get it twisted. I don't know why they just edited it and kept Diana Ross....
Ruff blew her out of the water... Went up a note and still blew her away..

So it's okay to bash everyone else? Some of u Supremes/mainly Ross fans are hyprocrites. I've seen some very ugly & disgusting comments made about Mary & Flo on other utube pgs. As soon as somebody says something that they don't agree w/ about Ross in a constructive way, here come the crazies. Diana had drive & talent but Ruffin was a gifted singer. PERIOD. Ross was no match 4 him when it came down 2 singing or performing. This clip clearly shows it and Ross knew she didn't stand a chance.
royalsoulness 8 months ago
@royalsoulness That is so very true. There are 3 factions of Supreme fans in which Mary and Flo fans are allies. I love the Supremes, but I LOVE and ADORE Flo much more than the other two. I quit feuding a long time ago. OK, with that said, I certainly agree that David was far more gifted than Diana. David was THE MAN, plain and simple. As a matter of fact, I think the Tempts as a whole were more gifted than The Supremes.

@terrybigteekemp Yes, it's pretty fruitless w/ all the immature & assisine comments by folks who really aren't 'fans' but r just a bunch of dangerously obsessed & bitter people looking 4 attention. I love the Supremes as a whole & don't give a crap about this ridiculous vicious sniping between fans who didn't even know these women. I'm also a big Temptations fan & the Supremes really were no much for them. Now, if it was Flo singing lead, that would have been awesome!

Since The Supremes were one of Ed's biggest regularly invited-back guests, and one of the 1960's most important musical acts, it'd be nice if they put out a DVD of all The Supremes' Sullivan performances--including the specialty numbers they did on those shows along with their own hits. Ditto for other acts who were regulars on his show, instead of just piecemeal DVD issues. (Supremes singing "Always," medley with Ethel Merman, etc.) Can't blame fans for posting what SOFA's DVDs don't have.

youneedhead11 1 month ago
There's a very little noted but interesting moment here when Diana gets a piano cue in the middle of the medley to establish her key for the next passage. The Sullivan Show preferred live orchestra, live vocals. Sometimes for Motown acts lip synching was employed for the hits because the house orchestra could not replicate the Motown sound effectively. Singing live, it was very hard for the singers to hear the orchestra clearly on stage, hence the piano cue in this case.

icecolddude96 11 months ago 14
@icecolddude96 I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Ruff was the greatest singer ever to pick up a mic. He made his voice do things I have yet to hear any professional singer do to this date. Not Marvin, not Luther, not Al, nobody could sing the way he did. People say Diana has a distinct voice, but when Ruff picked up the mic and unleashed his vocals, the whole world knew it was him. NOBODY, can do the things that man did. NOBODY!!!
terrybigteekemp 10 months ago
@terrybigteekemp Well, we all have our opinions. Well, here's mine. Not only is David Ruffin not the best singer ever, he wasn't even the best singer within the Temptations. Both Dennis Edwards and Paul Williams were better. Luther Vandross was the best ever, then Teddy P., then Eddie Levert. That's my opinion... isn't that what's great about the USA?
dienglee 9 months ago
@dienglee That's what I love about the USA. I also LOVE the singers you have mentioned. I saw Luther in concert in 96 and he was amazing. I also have to put Marvin in that list too. But Luther was great, I surely can't deny that.
terrybigteekemp 9 months ago
@terrybigteekemp Cool. Now, it certainly is resonable the think David was the greatest. He was a dynamo on stage and in the booth! And, like you, lots of people thing he was the best....perhaps he was. I can tell you are a very reasonable person.
dienglee 8 months ago
@icecolddude96 How was David a better singer? David's voice was very one dimensional, whereas Diana has always been known as a melody master with her voice, with better phrasing, timing, expression, lilt, etc.. Just because someone's voice sounds like a tuba, that doesn't make them a better singer. Diana's voice had the quality of a flute, clarinet or saxophone, but it was also strong in its own way.

That's probably why no other American group(black or white, male or female)was as successful as DIANA ROSS & The Sups. Man, that Diana Ross and Berry Gordy were packing so powerful stuff!!!!!

They have been in this country 400 years, but yet are still at the bottom of the barrell, while other immigrants have been in this country a short time, but they are flourishing.

@TheInasboi Depends on how you look at it. The 2000 show was actually a reminder that most don't want to see Diana in a group. She's a solo artist. Keep in mind her many shows as a solo artist have often sold out. I for one, have no desire to see her in a trio.

Diana Ross had more of a pop sound than R&B. You cannot compare her to the Temptations. They are both equally great but have their own sound and style. As a singer I don't think Ross had the best voice but she had the ability as a musician to use it to the best effect. The way she and Supremes sang show tunes and standards with ease was unheard of for pop groups in the sixties. Berry Gordy knew that he had an act with the talent to appeal to all age groups.

@blkshepherd You call us "haters" we're "justice seekers"
The difference between The Temptations & The Supremes is very simple, the only one committing ADULTERY with the Motown boss Berry Gordy was Diane Ross who after getting herself pregnant and producing LOVE CHILD Rhonnda Gordy acquired preferential treatment and the access to call her own shots including changing THE SUPREMES from a FEMALE TRIO into a LEAD & BACKUP SINGER placing herself to shine and the others on her shadow!

@TWTR4EVER Ok. How can diana use her child to gain control of the supremes when Rhonda was born after she'd left the group. You're funny. Diana was a star long before the birth of any child.

@LANORDA9 Because he's purposely misleading under the guise of "truth-telling." Many tend to do that concerning Diana Ross. Miss Ross left The Supremes forty years ago and this troll is still foaming out the mouth; he is eternally depressed.
AnnabellaSteMarie 1 year ago
@TWTR4EVER Diana Ross sang 97% of the leads from the moment they entered Motown until her departure from the group, therefore, the Supremes were always a lead singer and backups. I don't see how two consenting, unmarried adults committed adultery, but nice try. Rhonda was born almost two years after Ross left the Supremes, years after Diana rose to stardom. Your lies won't work here, buddy.
