@waynebrasler I agree! They were finally a group! I was so glad to see Diana vacate the premisses. I got so tired of her "hogging" the spotlight.
-
@chrissen1 I agree with you totally! Outside the original Supremes, Jean, Mary, and Cindy were the best!
-
@Drillin4Oil I agree! I still bought their records after the aforementioned women were in the group, but Jean, Mary, and Cindy were IT! With Jeans departure, for me, that's when the Supremes really died.

@mrberryv oops, i meant "FROM her incomparable..."

I love the Supremes' version of this Joni Mitchell masterpiece for her incomparable 1971 album "Blue." Just became familiar with the group's cover this year and wish I'd known about it my whole life. Jean Terrell sings the lead vocal awesomely, and the backup parts by Lynda Laurence and Mary Wilson are beautiful too.
Wonderful photo montage. Thanks so much for the post, MOTOWNJIM37.

UP THE LADDER TO THE ROOF
-
As anyone can see, visually this group had it all over Diana Ross and the Supremes in the choreography and action department, simply because the act was fashioned around three stars not a star and two backgrounds singers somewhere in the shadows with their microphones turned down. Something Billboard and Variety commended repeatedly in their reviews. Diana Ross and the Supremes were indeed a fabulous act visually but also highly restricted as to what they were permitted to do. Not so here.

"Stoned Love" was racing up the charts and to my amazement and deep disappointment they did not include it in the show. I'm told at some performances
they did do it but I found the omission just one more piece of Motown mystery.
-
With all due respect to Lynda, Scherrie and Susaye, this is really the final incarnation of Supremes for me.

Still not sure of the event and when it was. As to what the Ladies are singing? could be 'Up the ladder' 'Supremes medley' or 'Everybody's got the right to love someone.' keep 'em coming. MJ.
