big bear why are you so harsh on mary?i grew up loving diana but she like most is not perfect and like most of us she has fucked up iam pretty sure like most she has done stuff she is not proud of .mary and florence provided the harmony and if mary could not sing believe me berry would of got rid of her.just like most people they have their favorite just like you do.it took all three to make the supremes..it does nothing to call names about something that happened 40 yers ago.
Don't wanna get into a fight here, but to call Mary Wilson the 'Quintessential Supreme' is just nonsense - ask the average Joe to name The Supremes and there's only one name he's gonna come up with and it ain't 'Mary Wilson'.
Cindy Birdsong looked so bored singing the background in "I'm Living in Shame"! They certainly pushed Diana Ross while almost ignoring her and Mary. Those two girls were so beautiful.
From the Mouth of a Geriatric Stewardess, Charged with stalking & removed from a Diana Ross concert, Thats Rich TWTR4EVER, Get me a Tea & Bag of Peanuts & Shut the Fuck Up
Diane Ross second & third albums (Everything Is Everything & Surrender) produced NO SIGNIFICANT HITS ON THE BILLBOARD POP CHARTS, while THE SUPREMES (New Ways But Love Stays & Touch) both delivered a # 7 Pop Chart "STONED LOVE" & #16 Pop Chart "Nathan Jones"
Silly TWTR, Everything Miss Mary has EVER RELEASED has Been a FLOP!, Admit it, You just wish you had your own Berry Gordy, So you wouldn't of Ended up serving Coffee & Tea on a 767 enroute to Newark
God, Evill Meets Stupid, Extra & TWTR What a Combo! Now toss in Kurtsupreme & we have the 3 Stooges.
You all love the Music, but just can't tolerate the fact that Diana Ross is 85% of The Legacy & was Largely responsible for the success of "The Supremes"
Without Diana Ross, Berry Gordy, HDH, Motown & The Funk Brothers there would be No Supremes, ANYONE could have done The Oo's & Ahh's
Wake up Extra2000 Diana's First Solo Release was to be "Someday We'll be Together", Heard of it?, Berry Gordy decided to Let "The Supremes" have it, so They would Split on a high note.
And how did it all turn out in 1970?, "The Supremes Number 10 Up The Ladder to the Roof
Diana Ross NUMBER 1 (One) Ain't no mountain High Enough
Berry Gordy knew VERY WELL that the public knowing of Diane Ross involvement regarding Florence Ballard's ousting & her SELFISH TAKE NO PRISONERS AMBITION if she had the nerve of releasing "Someday We'll Be Together" from her as a "solo" after abandoning THE SUPREMES it would had sounded so HYPOCRITICAL that would have tank in the charts just like "Reach Out & Touch" did!
HER SECOND & THIRD ALBUMS (Everything is Everything & Surrender) WERE FLOPS!
Diana Ross Forgotten?, Where does that put Mary Wilson?, Dead & Burried?, That Old Pig makes a Living running around with Fake Marvelettes & Vandellas, singing for Crack & a Free Meal
Bigfatassbear....your the only Howling Idiot On this Site.Call your fat Ontario Hogs to the Cruella De Ross Feeding Troft...The Bitch Ross is Long Forgotten here....
Miss Mary is a "Howling Idiot", She sings @ State Fairs, Hog Calling Competitions & Tractor Pulls, So Knock Off The "Quintessential Supreme" Shit, She's Barely Alive & Long Forgotten
@bigbear39ca Ticket sales are SO BAD for crack head Mary that they are already discounting them! Discount Password "Jealous Has-been" (or "no talent" if using a debit card) plus its a 2 snort minimum!
Kudos to Miss Ross. Wildly rich, she could have stopped touring years ago. She's given us decades of some of the best pop music the industry had to offer
Anyone ever notice just how beautiful and effortlessy poised Mary Wilson is in every performance? I understand why Diana emerged as the lead, but I've always thought Mary was the real Looker.
You are correct, Doolie. She is truly a fashion icon for the ages. No one can work a dress like she can. The gowns are her current tour are simply magnificent.
I'll never criticize Diana's vocals because they (especially at this time in her career) were flawless. What I do find annoying is that by now, it was truly ALL about Diana. Face it, Berry called the shots and M&C just became singing 'earrings'. I really don't like this era of the group, you can see there's no love lost here. Thank GOD the group gained 'friendship' later on with Jean, Lynda, Scherrie & Susaye who are all consummate performers.
They wore these gowns to a Jesse Jackson event in Chicago when they were appeaing at the Congress Theater. People almost dropped dead when they walked into the event!
@michellesvideosuk Cindy is kind of like Suzanne de Passe... she quite obviously has African, European, and "Native American" (though even Native Americans probably came from Asia) blood in her, and she is rather pleasant looking... Mary is still the best looking... but Cindy looks great, and even Diana-in-her-close-cropped-Afro-wig looks good...
@doolie50 No one could work a gown like Diana that's true, but you have to give the other two girls their props as well. What Diana lacks in the breast department she certainly makes up for with uterus obviously.
LOL carolinaguy, I thought the same thing about Mary. Im sure she didnt appreciate when Diana put her hand in front of her face here either, and the camera had to go up to avoid it. Cindy said at first she couldnt believe Diana was doing it on purpose but then she sadly realized she was! But at least the end was near and they could become a true group again with Jean.
ITS AMAZING THAT EVEN TO THIS DAY YOU HAVE THREE DIFFERENT FACTIONS OF SUPREMES FANS. THE FLO FANS THE MARY FANS AND THE DIANA FANS. AND THEY NEVER SEEM TO GET ALONG.
man screw wat blogshag is talkin about. cindy looks DAMN good. thick in rite places....shes hot! unlike that figureless diana ross, who is built up like a ten year old boy!
@1990soulman I think that Diana is 5'5". I know that Mary is 5'4". Flo was 5'8", Cindy is 5'7". Jean is 5'10" (and towered over, both, Cindy amd Mary). THink. I could be wrong. The heels on Diana's shoes may be higher than on Mary and Cindy. Once again, I, may, be wrong.
@hazelman I used to receive a Supremes newsletter "back in the day" which stated that Florence was 5'7", Diana 5'5 1/2", and Mary 5'5" so hazelman, you're pretty much on the money with your observations. I remember seeing the first pic of Jean with the Supremes (the Farewell performance) and I thought, "Wow, that girl is tall!" Jean was, in my opinion, an ideal replacement.
@1990soulman supposedly Diana is only 5'4" tall. That's quite short. She didn't look that short when I saw her in person (1995's taping of "I Will Survive")
Did anyone notice at all that the second verse of "livin in shame" was totally missed?!?! You know....the one that goes "in a college town, away from home a new identity I found". I wonder if it was Miss Ross who screwed up, or maybe they were just trying to "cut it short" due to time constraints. In any case, Mary and Cindy just went along and made it all look smooth and professional. Only someone who knows the song well would notice. All in all, an enjoyable performance from DMC
Love those dresses! GLAAAAAMOUUUR!!! But I've never been crazy about that hairdo Diana had. She was too adorable for such a sloppy hairstyle. Give me that big beautiful twinkling eye under that slick sideways bang any day!!!
I agree, they could have skipped the short afro thing on Diana. I think management suggested she wear it, cause around this time they were getting complaints about acting or sounding too white, whatever that means.
@BlogShag That's exactly why you see them in afro hair in some clips. Complaints of sounding too white and looking too white. Uhhh, what are they supposed to be wearing.. clothes from Nigeria?? And what does sounding too white mean?? I don't get it. People in the south are as white as can be and they talk "black"
Diana Ross and The Supremes were the groundbreaking show business phenomonon of their day. The way they crossed over to appeal to all ages and their ability to perform so many styles of material were an amazing acheivement.
@9ballguy , Yes, it's not easy to do. Diana's versatility was a difficult study. She obviously worked very hard, when you consider how she sounded during their first recordings.
It's amazing Ross makes it through this: her voice is really shot as you can hear at times (and in the opening number, where she really sounds thin). A lot of her talent is sheer willpower.
Branner get a grip she commands it as she always did... her voice is diverse and in her early days she had a sexy raspy sound that OBVIOUSLY SOLD dick head...
You guyz get so psychological about it all, as if it's a clip being studied as part of a course thesis. It's a 1969 TV show cli;. They were great. Enjoy it and them from what they were, and are. DMC probably haven't studied these clips, or brooded on their times as Supremes, as much as some of you are doing here since, likely, 1970. Instead of remembering Flo for what she DID accomplish through becoming a Supreme, she ends up being always remembered for the way she ended - not fair to her.
These women being Black, beautiful, and so successful at that time was a big uplift to the African-American community! They had crossover appeal and undeniable beauty and the charm that only Black women possess!
Cindy wasnt a bad singer she just didnt mesh harmonically like FLO could. But remember: FLO, MARY, and DIANE were KIDS together and GREW to be the Supremes.
DIANA used to fight for father's attention with her own sister and felt that her father loved her sister more.
This same fight for attention lasted all her life. The way she slept and crossed whoever she felt was a threat to HER
finding the limelight--including FLO and MARY--glory hogging her way to the top is more than tragic
@simin621 . Mary for the most part has always sounded terrible. That's why she's never been able to get a record contract as a solo artist. None of these four women's voices were anything alike
OMG!!What a class act,i cant stop replaying it,lol.Dianas voice is so powerful on THE LADY IS A TRAMP!!Shes lost some of that clarity & crispness in her voice over the years!
Its bad that they named them Diana Ross and the Supremes i mean i love diana but without flo the band would have never started rip Flo Pop R&B Soul superstar!
They sound great in all the tunes but I was particularly touched by the harmonies in I'm Living In Shame. Diana Ross, of course, was superb as always, but Mary Wilson has a stage presence that very few performers have. That girl was born to be on stage. I catched myself looking her way constantly. Wow!
And, of course, there's nothing wrong with Cindy Birdsong...she shines like she have some kind of inner light. In short, a great combination!
I love me some Diana, but she phoned in this performance. Rough night, or just bored? These girls had no idea that 40 years later we'd be able to see (and critique) their performances on the Internet.
Mary did talk when she asked about California. But It wouldn't hurt for them to talk more but clearly this part of the group years were to get Diane Moving a soloist.
@dutico because it's not what the script called for. Around this time and much earlier than this Diana was doing most of the talking as part of the push to launch her eventual solo career. And with the recordings and live performances Mary, Flo's and Cindy's microphones were turned down to ensure their voices would not drown out Diana's, meanwhile Diana's was turned up. This is always something that bothered me, cause it upset the wonderful harmonic balance they used to have.
i cant believe at the end of the performance they truly made mary and cindy leave off the stage like they aint shit....i mean i get the fact it was about diana but god damn.....we was here to lol.....
it just didn't make any sense to dismiss Cindy and Mary. both had flava of their own, not every thing had to be built around Diana's sophisticated approach to black entertainment. pearl baily soul was a big sucess during these years and Cindy could have shown anything that Raquel Welche had to show and then some, but Diana wanted it all and thru Berry got it !!
When it is your money on the line, trust....you are going to be very careful who you invest in. People talk as if it were a sure thing no matter who he invested in. Do you really think he would have neglected the others if he TRULY KNEW he could make a fortune? Get real people? The man knew Diana would be a money maker. He saw dollar signs in her unique approach to capture a wider audience than the others.
There was no need to sit them down to do that. DUH....If they had any sense they would have known that from the group being renamed and from the fact that it seemed that in most interviews she was the focus. duh duh duh. Did they need a newsflash!?!? Each would have wanted to then prepare for the inevitable and use the Supremes as a stepping stone. PLAY YOUR CARDS! Instead, they chose to whine and act like someone was holding them by the balls. It is what it is.
I agree with you. I think if Diane and Berry went to Flo and Mary of the plans, things would have been different. Diana could have still be groomed as the solo to be act without having Mary and Flo be stepped on. Mary and especially Flo could have had one song per every two album. It would not have hurt. Anyway, heartandsoul22 I like your approach and I totally get what you are saying. Don't focus on the disrespected negatives of others.
picked her sister babara to sing in the group.not that she had the talent that Diana had but she had a group attitude which he stated diana did not she was all for herself even back then.Flo and Mary had a group menatlity and did not mind Di being the lead singer it was the way Barry signaled her out and the way she acted. towards them snubbing them
Flo had a group mentality as long as sher thought she'sd be the lead and prominent personality. When that changed so did the group philosophy. She also had a huge ego. EVERY performer does. She once told Diana she was "no lead singer". Well Diana became THE lead and eclisped her; result, envy, jealousy, drink and expulsion. Diana did do some terrible things but Flo ain't innocent.
Flo stated that she nor Mary minded if Diana sang lead if it was going to get them to where they wanted to go.The slights fueled by Bg broke down the group.Diana was not and still aint humble.
go away you waste of skin. leave Florence alone. all she wanted was to be apart of a group. DR wanted to be famous, and did what ever it took to get the spot light. she even admits that.
Three young girls in an exciting time in their lives. I can assure you...They all wanted the spotlight. I can bet if Flo was given lead, she would have had no problem. Same with Mary. Bottom line. Neither of them had the final word. Lets get real. Music is business. You people act as if Diana was the boss in those days. She merely did what she was supposed to do and asked to do and kept her eye on the prize like any smart woman would do.
@LANORDA9 Exactly, artists during that time did what they were told to do whether they liked it or not. It is unfortunate that allot of talent was pushed to the wayside as a result. But it is what it is and we have the legacy that we have as a result. That does not mean that it is bad, again, it is what it is. Thank you for bringing out your point.
@LANORDA9 Diane the benefit of the doubt? It's your prerogative, but history is made and facts are undeniable. Diane from day one set her eye on the adulterer trajectory, by getting inside the pants of Motown "boss" Berry Gordy, having their "LOVE CHILD" Rhonnda assured her the indirect control of the group and at times the label for personal gain! She's a self serving viper at best, those are not the qualities of smartness, much less every woman, just opportunistic users!
@TWTR4EVER Oh puhleeez. Shut up, you jealous cunt. You can say the same or similar things about Pink, and especially Madonna. There are many others that left their cohorts behind to ascend to the top where they should be
Diane is the only OPPORTUNISTIC SELF SERVING, CONNING, MANIPULATIVE street rag that managed to survive publicly her transgressions within her own group THE SUPREMES & RECORD LABEL MOTOWN/BERRY (Her lover father of their LOVE CHILD Rhonnda Gordy) and that's because she gave SEXUAL FAVORS TO THE HIM!
She may have well have been all the things that you call her but she was an ambitious woman.
And still is, look at the reviews for her current tour , she's where she is at her age, an American Icon.
Mary, by contrast, is followed by a handful of obsessives and can't even fill the cabaret bars she hollers and screechs at , done up in the most fantastically awful machine washable polyester gowns.
It breaks your heart to see her stricken so low, really it does.
In 2010/2011 she tours with THE SUPREMES REVIVAL TOUR presented at THE OLDIES REVIVAL VENUES, in South Florida when she once packed ARENAS for two nights individually in PALM BEACH, FT. LAUDERDALE & MIAMI she was booked for ONE NIGHT at "Hard Rock Live" a Seminole Indian gambling hall capacity 5600, she's an AMERICAN TRAVESTY. (almost TRANSVESTITE)
Diane Ross A K-MART FASHIONISTA TACO BELL GORDITA SUPREME!
you need to check her post RTL career , particularly in the world outside of the US.
She has played massive arenas all over the world, most recently in Holland to over 30,000 each night on 16 and 17 of October 2009 and madly successful tours in 2004,5,7,8 and endless dates in the US .
OK, she is playing smaller venues in her own country, but she is still a worldwide superstar and her status was confirmed by her Kennedy Center Award.
She is an inspiration to millions around the world
A MANIPULATIVE, SELF SERVING, BACKSTABBING, CONNING, BETRAYING USER!
Regarding MARY WILSON "no-one's" ARE MANY as she continues to tour and her "The Supremes Gowns Tour" is receive in museums and art venues were Diane alone will never be, she's more THRIFT SHOP!

THE SUPREMES REVIVAL TOUR booked at THE OLDIES REVIVAL VENUES! ("Hard Rock Live" in Hollywood Florida, Indian Gambling Hall capacity 5600)
@TWTR4EVER At least she fucked the right people. What has your skank twat been on lately?. Never mind. I don't want to know. I don't care what you say about Miss Ross. Only losers like yourself talk shit about D.Ross. And get over it, Diana was wildly talented vocally
@TWTR4EVER You are exactly correct! Diane had a "novelty" voice and that is what Berry assumed they buying back in the sixties. It had nothing to do w ith talent when you consider the enormous amount of time in spoon feeding the songs and the exorbitant recording costs to get the right take from Diane Ross!
@DetroitLives313 Anyone that knows the art of singing can clearly identify a Diane's performance that under no certain terms will go over without BACKGROUND VOCALS to piggy ride her over every note she can hit, camouflage her harmonizing, there's a;lways "looping," for those ignorant to the tricks of the trade this is a pre recorded track of orchestration sometimes her own studio SYNTHESIZE vocals in certain parts of the song to make her sound good!
@TWTR4EVER And unlike me, back then you never heard her sing live, so what the hell would your skank ass know? She sounded better live than she sounds on her records, so there. There isn't anyone I can say that about today. Just cause you don't like her voice, doesn't mean she wasn't a talented singer. I can name many singers I don't like, but I realize they have singing talent. You're nuts.
@SpazChat I've been hearing Diane sing live performances since before they became "Diane Ross & The Supremes" while Florence was still with the group and Diane is always been what we call in the industry "THE QUEEN OF LOOPING" if you don't know what that means look it up!
@TWTR4EVER Her vocals are not the best The Supremes had to offer??? What are you smoking? Her lead voice was on 6 consecutive number one hits, recorded, live, or otherwise and 12 when she left The Supremes, and 100 million records sold to her credit, in addition to numerous world wide sold out concerts. How do Mary, Cindy, Jean, Lynda, Scherie compare to that? Please.
@TWTR4EVER And please don't tell me that Mary's a better singer or ever was, cause I will personally come and hunt you down myself to give you a much deserved pimp slappin'! LOL!
@TWTR4EVER What kind of success has Mary attained with her bland ass karaoke caliber voice? If if wasn't for Diana, she wouldn't have been potting soil. Get real. She might be a better singer now, but Diana burned up the charts for over 30 years. Mary has never had a hit record on her own. Concert success yes. Records? No. I Will Survive was a hit outside the USA. The USA is shallow.
@TWTR4EVER And you're right. But who had more consistent hits, the pathetic post Diana MUZAK Supremes or Diana herself as a solo artist? I've heard some their recordings (PDS) please...
By 1970 Diane got her way and her boss/pimp/sex muse what ever you want to call Berry Gordy put all of Motown forces behind her to create her solo career, SHE WAS FORCE FED VIA "PAYOLA" to the airwaves while THE SUPREMES were left on their own to flounder, they did very well considering their own record label & marketing was doing everything possible to face them out to build up THE DIANE ROSS SOLO MIRAGE!
@TWTR4EVER I'm glad she got her way, I've enjoyed her music voice, movies, and presence very much. Transexual sounding low pitch voiced Mary would have been a disaster if she were promoted-- Churchy Cindy as well.
JUNE 22, 2011 to JULY 03, 2011 THE QUINTESSENTIAL SUPREME will be hosting her show that travels the world as an appointed Cultural Ambassador by The United States Government!
The Lady Supreme!
ps. Just in case you didn't get it the first time scumbag!
@TWTR4EVER Only 12 tix sold! NO ONE goes to The Riviera - it's unsafe haven for thugs and drug dealers (Mary can get cheap crack ) The venue is SO BAD that Mary is Following MIDGET WRESTLING and preceding a dog act & plate spinner. Imagine booking two dog acts in a row! No wonder the show room is usually closed.! Motown sued Mary to stop her from tarnishing the name Supremes with her raspy, ugly sound. She accepts crummy appointments others refused because shes bored with nothing else to do!
@TheMotownMoron Diane Ross "abandon" The Supremes in 1969 for a "solo" career, Mary Wilson continued The Supremes and as she told Florence Ballard, "Don't Worry, I will take care of it Flo" for 8 more years she kept The Supremes viable, today it has earned her the title of "QUINTESSENTIAL SUPREME" something Diane will never be, Diane got her glitz & fortune but the legacy? The "solo" is in question and "THE SUPREMES" legacy, she's there, but not the heart of the group, she' sin trouble!
MS. MARY WILSON IN "LAS VEGAS AT THE RIVIERA HOTEL & CASINO!"
JUNE 22, 2010 to JULY 03, 20111!
THE QUINTESSENTIAL SUPREME- The only one that was active member of the group from 1959 to 1977, eight years after Diane Ross abandon the group (1969) for her solo career!
She's a "United States Appointed Cultural Ambassador" 1 of 9 to be vested with that honor, our LADY MOTOWN will be Rocking & Jazzing the night away, join her!
@TWTR4EVER Dians's true first release i believe was a song called somthing like "Oobli do " or something weird and it didnt even make the top 100, Motown claimed it was just a promotional song, but it was a total flop and an officiel release.
@etrax2000 Regarding Diane's first release? Did you mean, "DOOBEDDOD'NDOOBE, DOOBEDOOD'NDOOBE,DOOBEDOOD'NDOO" from the "failure to launch" album "Everything Is Everything"? Because that album and the next "Surrender" were FLOPS!!!!!
@TWTR4EVER YES !, but you can 't tell Diana's ardent worshipers that she had less than a golden begining as a solo artist, Gordy even publicly admitted decades later, that Motown had to send people into the streets with cash money to get them to fill up the seats at her opening concerts because no one wanted to go.true she did manage to live up to his and her own exspectations; by giving no doubt fantastic shows,(of which there must be films of the new solo shows).But still ruff start 4 ms ross
@etrax2000 BERRY GORDY, AFTER SPLITTING "THE SUPREMES" TO SATISFY HIS "ADULTERER" MOTHER OF HIS BASTARD CHILD "RHONNDA SILBERSTEIN GORDY ROSS KENDRICKS (WTF??) DIANE ROSS" had put "all his eggs on that basket" and to the tune of nearly loosing MOTOWN to produce her film "Lady Sing The Blues" delivered her a "solo" career!
Today Diane Ross is the industry is "PERSONA NON GRATA" that's why her career gravitates in OBLIVION!

Berry Gordy knew VERY WELL that the public knowing of Diane Ross involvement regarding Florence Ballard's ousting & her SELFISH TAKE NO PRISONERS AMBITION if she had the nerve of releasing "Someday We'll Be Together" from her as a "solo" after abandoning THE SUPREMES it would had sounded so HYPOCRITICAL that would have tank in the charts just like "Reach Out & Touch" did!
HER SECOND & THIRD ALBUMS (Everything is Everything & Surrender) WERE FLOPS!

I'll never criticize Diana's vocals because they (especially at this time in her career) were flawless. What I do find annoying is that by now, it was truly ALL about Diana. Face it, Berry called the shots and M&C just became singing 'earrings'. I really don't like this era of the group, you can see there's no love lost here. Thank GOD the group gained 'friendship' later on with Jean, Lynda, Scherrie & Susaye who are all consummate performers.

They are when you look from a fashion point of view, as I said Diana was special here as she looked like a fashion drawing.
She also went on to become a delight for fashion designers, she is unrivalled in her capacity to bring a dress to life.
Her walk, her little movements and ,in later years , her ability to move fluidly in long trains.
She's just a beautiful, elegant woman.
Even now when she has thickened out with age she knows how to work a gown, that's for sure.

@hazelman I used to receive a Supremes newsletter "back in the day" which stated that Florence was 5'7", Diana 5'5 1/2", and Mary 5'5" so hazelman, you're pretty much on the money with your observations. I remember seeing the first pic of Jean with the Supremes (the Farewell performance) and I thought, "Wow, that girl is tall!" Jean was, in my opinion, an ideal replacement.

DMC probably haven't studied these clips, or brooded on their times as Supremes, as much as some of you are doing here since, likely, 1970. Instead of remembering Flo for what she DID accomplish through becoming a Supreme, she ends up being always remembered for the way she ended - not fair to her.

Cindy wasnt a bad singer she just didnt mesh harmonically like FLO could. But remember: FLO, MARY, and DIANE were KIDS together and GREW to be the Supremes.
DIANA used to fight for father's attention with her own sister and felt that her father loved her sister more.
This same fight for attention lasted all her life. The way she slept and crossed whoever she felt was a threat to HER
finding the limelight--including FLO and MARY--glory hogging her way to the top is more than tragic

heartandsoul22 2 years ago
@dutico because it's not what the script called for. Around this time and much earlier than this Diana was doing most of the talking as part of the push to launch her eventual solo career. And with the recordings and live performances Mary, Flo's and Cindy's microphones were turned down to ensure their voices would not drown out Diana's, meanwhile Diana's was turned up. This is always something that bothered me, cause it upset the wonderful harmonic balance they used to have.

Flo had a group mentality as long as sher thought she'sd be the lead and prominent personality. When that changed so did the group philosophy. She also had a huge ego. EVERY performer does. She once told Diana she was "no lead singer". Well Diana became THE lead and eclisped her; result, envy, jealousy, drink and expulsion. Diana did do some terrible things but Flo ain't innocent.

@SpazChat I hate to tell you, today Mary Wilson doing the gendra that suits her best (Jazz & Ballads) she's BY FAR A BETTER SINGER THAN DIANE!
Diane Ross is a Pop Star that has not have a Pop Chat Hit in 30 years! (Alvin & The Chipmunks)
"I Will Survive" will always be Gloria Gaynor's MEGA WORLD HIT, her version barely scratch the chats!
You try to pimp slap me, hold on to your cojones, you might lose them!

@TWTR4EVER What kind of success has Mary attained with her bland ass karaoke caliber voice? If if wasn't for Diana, she wouldn't have been potting soil. Get real. She might be a better singer now, but Diana burned up the charts for over 30 years. Mary has never had a hit record on her own. Concert success yes. Records? No. I Will Survive was a hit outside the USA. The USA is shallow.

@SpazChat THE SUPREMES "burned up the charts" Diane was merely 1 of 8 of them!
#1 prove The Supremes first single without her "UP THE LADDER TO THE ROOF" in THE BILLBOARD POP TOP 100 SINGLES peaked at # 10
Diane Ross first single as a solo "REACH OUT AND TOUCH" in the same BILLBOARD POP TOP 100 SINGLES peaked at # 20!
Look it up!
GET OVER IT!
YOU CAN'T CHANGE HISTORY!

@TWTR4EVER And you're right. But who had more consistent hits, the pathetic post Diana MUZAK Supremes or Diana herself as a solo artist? I've heard some their recordings (PDS) please...

@SpazChat
By 1970 Diane got her way and her boss/pimp/sex muse what ever you want to call Berry Gordy put all of Motown forces behind her to create her solo career, SHE WAS FORCE FED VIA "PAYOLA" to the airwaves while THE SUPREMES were left on their own to flounder, they did very well considering their own record label & marketing was doing everything possible to face them out to build up THE DIANE ROSS SOLO MIRAGE!
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, INDUCTED The Supremes!

@TWTR4EVER I'm glad she got her way, I've enjoyed her music voice, movies, and presence very much. Transexual sounding low pitch voiced Mary would have been a disaster if she were promoted-- Churchy Cindy as well.

@TWTR4EVER Only 12 tix sold! NO ONE goes to The Riviera - it's unsafe haven for thugs and drug dealers (Mary can get cheap crack ) The venue is SO BAD that Mary is Following MIDGET WRESTLING and preceding a dog act & plate spinner. Imagine booking two dog acts in a row! No wonder the show room is usually closed.! Motown sued Mary to stop her from tarnishing the name Supremes with her raspy, ugly sound. She accepts crummy appointments others refused because shes bored with nothing else to do!

@TheMotownMoron Diane Ross "abandon" The Supremes in 1969 for a "solo" career, Mary Wilson continued The Supremes and as she told Florence Ballard, "Don't Worry, I will take care of it Flo" for 8 more years she kept The Supremes viable, today it has earned her the title of "QUINTESSENTIAL SUPREME" something Diane will never be, Diane got her glitz & fortune but the legacy? The "solo" is in question and "THE SUPREMES" legacy, she's there, but not the heart of the group, she' sin trouble!

@TWTR4EVER Dians's true first release i believe was a song called somthing like "Oobli do " or something weird and it didnt even make the top 100, Motown claimed it was just a promotional song, but it was a total flop and an officiel release.

@etrax2000 Regarding Diane's first release? Did you mean, "DOOBEDDOD'NDOOBE, DOOBEDOOD'NDOOBE,DOOBEDOOD'NDOO" from the "failure to launch" album "Everything Is Everything"? Because that album and the next "Surrender" were FLOPS!!!!!

@TWTR4EVER YES !, but you can 't tell Diana's ardent worshipers that she had less than a golden begining as a solo artist, Gordy even publicly admitted decades later, that Motown had to send people into the streets with cash money to get them to fill up the seats at her opening concerts because no one wanted to go.true she did manage to live up to his and her own exspectations; by giving no doubt fantastic shows,(of which there must be films of the new solo shows).But still ruff start 4 ms ross

@etrax2000 BERRY GORDY, AFTER SPLITTING "THE SUPREMES" TO SATISFY HIS "ADULTERER" MOTHER OF HIS BASTARD CHILD "RHONNDA SILBERSTEIN GORDY ROSS KENDRICKS (WTF??) DIANE ROSS" had put "all his eggs on that basket" and to the tune of nearly loosing MOTOWN to produce her film "Lady Sing The Blues" delivered her a "solo" career!
Today Diane Ross is the industry is "PERSONA NON GRATA" that's why her career gravitates in OBLIVION!
ONLY HER FLYING MONKEYS GIVE A FUCK ABOUT BER WERE ABOUTS!
