I never knew the Supremes did this. Still love the Toys version, but I am loving this one as well. Diana, Mary, and Cindy are fantastic!

@pythoncase Diana, Mary and FLORENCE*. Cindy was not an original member and did not replace founding member and soprano Florence until the summer of 1967...

@chocoletecake136 Yes, isn';t it wonderful what Women's Lib did for us. Other side of that coin is that most all of those "Classy" women singers were exploited by a male dominated music industry. Todays female stars such as Beyonce probably make more money in a month than most of those "classy" stars did in their whole career.

@chocoletecake136 That is a True but sad fact!

[chocoletecake136]
