My teenage years...never forget!!

Yes they were great, good dancing songs, loved the melodies Diana had a great voice

@@carmenortiz8519 .

elder...she was raped in the very beginning. she was scared! thanks to mary & diana's support she found her way back. even though it was in the very early days of the supremes they knew it wouldn't be the same without her. it's sad that she is gone...and now mary...we have lost the BEST of the 60' & 70's. i will still listen to them everyday!

truth

is it true that Diana killed her?!?!?

Well said 🔥💯🙏❤️

​@@kryztofkowalski4628 Basically, yeah? What?

Me too

Love them 🤩

Oh yeah makes me feel like I'm a kid again. Still gets this 68 year old young bidy moving and groiving

They were truly Supreme!

In my next life. I still want to listen to them

🙏

Si preghiamo per loro unico

Formidable

Spero dio l'aiuti

i’m praying ffor for her now. but do realize tht God might end her suffering by bringing her hoos or leave her here on earth to finish atask she needs to do. we will never know. but don’t give up hope, he will answer our prayers in ways we will probably neverknow why.

q

Ross's talent, moves, voice was second nature, plus proverbial cool strut and shuffle.

Never good get enough

Hey Victor. I totally agree 💯

Victor ❤

Badest girls? I thought they were good.

​@@dans9463 Baddest means good it means they were a better girl group.

Truly The Best

One of MY FAVORITE SINING GROUPS

Tom Jones had an affair with Mary Wilson!

At 72, I'm still lovin' it too! MOTOWN FOREVER! SUPREMES RULE!❤😊

❤

❤ 2:12

In addition to being THE best girl group ever Mary Wilson was so cute.

music to keep you in such loving mood music now is boo they can never make them like that any more they might have the talent but not the mind set the mentality is quite diffrent😢

🙆Really !🙋

She did not, don’t be stupid! They were all average singers if truth be told. But Florence was the weakest. Most people don’t even know her name, she was that great right? Get a grip.

@@Ang543210he be high

I didn’t see Florence leave the supremes to do her own thing. Or did I miss that part?

This is the Motown record Supreme’s Medley Of Hits. It was a hit in the discos in 1980. They used the original recordings and added new drums and bass to perk up the record to play in the discos and make it easy for the DJ’s to mix it in their sets of non stop music in the clubs.

The best day, s of my life… Met my love of my life in 1969!!!!!

Made. My marriage

Me too lol I’m OBSESSED

My mom's favorite and she turned me on to motown...ty mom...R.I.P...

The concert only lasted 40 minutes?

My memories are GOLDEN -- I grew up with these 3 original ladies in the Brewster-Douglas Homes and in the "D" aka "MOTOWN"

🇦🇺👍

Nope, not in this lifetime

Ma chi ?

Me either SIP Florence (blondie) and Mary SIP 🕊️🕊️🌹💕

Never the same after flo went

Same😢

Can somebody tell me was that flows funeral, Mary had a lace scarf on, was on an arm with Diana Ross, can somebody tell me.

@@geoffreynewby3270 you're right, they were better, once they got rid of that dead weight, should have gotten rid of Mary too.

The best of the best, certainly brings back delightful memories!

spot on.

Well said 🔥💯

Absolutely!!

Correct, but why is🌹Someday We'll Be Together (their) greatest one?!

@@monicabella7894 the arrangement, and being that it was Diana's exit of the group.

Yes she was

You wouldn't know Ballard without knowing Ross and Wilson.

It was a shame that Gordy wouldn’t produce Florence for a solo career after the Supremes. The three of them created a unique sound that was a huge hit. Florence and Mary had legit voices hence the incredible backing vocals and harmonies.

@@pianoman8827 She was offered a solo contract in her General Release from The Supremes. She refused the offer.

@@pianoman8827 Florence was erratic! Not dependable!

Ummm, The Supremes AND The Temptations. They used to perform together under the names The Primes and The Primettes, if I can remember correctly.

..Gots to have 5 or 6 years old when i heard these on the A.M. radio stations on the old Victrolas models remember those people very early to mid 60's watching my older sisters dancin' away before my kiddie eyes..

Oh it just was my soul music does. I dance with soul food and just lead my life with such a bravado the trees quake in aspen Colorado when I wake for yet another great day of living it large and in charge of so much great things to come

This is a good shit

So, being a modern individual that you are, you instead go nuts every time you intentionally select one of their many songs to play? 😁

💙💙🕊🕊

So do I. Berry Gordy may have been a genius at making Motown a powerhouse label, but he really dropped the ball in this case. He should have kept the group together under the Supremes name, keeping all three women equally active in recordings and performances, then spun all three out as solo acts, lavishing most (or all) of his attention on Diana as he wanted. But when the lovelight started shining through his eyes, he lost all perspective and judgment. He may have avoided the backlash against Diana that came after Mary published her book, which did hurt Diana's career (She never had a hit in the U.S. after that).

Bob Francis I agree...

Bob Francis Not true she had 6 No. 1 pop Aint No Mountain Touch Me in the Morning Love Hangover Upside Down Endless Love w Lionel Richie All After the Supremes not to mention a Golden Globe Award Life time Achievements for BET American Music Award and Grammy Award Achievement as well as Kennedy Honors award And Presidential Freedom Award All after the Supremes Get a Grip!

Mack Jack he said after

Florence was a very statuesque woman. She had natural beauty like that of a Dorothy Dandridge or Lena Horne. She had excellent stage presence and very talented. RIP Flo. She is simply in heaven waiting for Mary and Diana to "come home" and things will be done the "right way" up there.

I had to tell you... you know when you look at these three women!!! they are unique. all three of them!! But Florence is the most unique of them all. She has style she knows how to carry herself she has the most beautiful moves I can't stress it enough but this lady has a lot of genuine genuine presence love you Florence you left us too early you will always be remembered!! ✳️✨⭐⚡💖!!!!!!

@@hehenry2408 Florence had style, grace and sophistication that made her stand out. Her star qualities were very omniscient even though she was a background singer. She was a diamond that simply needed a little polishing. Berry Gordy knew this but he simply chose to ignore this and focus his efforts on another individual we know, that individual was romantically involved with him. Florence was not involved with him or to him like that and as a result she got the shaft from Berry Gordy. This person we know was not a "team player" at all, she was of herself, about herself and for herself. This individual did not care who they stepped on to get what they wanted, we know this person did not make it to the number one position based on their talents but on their back. Florence, we love you and like Elton John said about the late Marilyn Monroe, "your "candle burned out before your legend began". RIP Florence. This is dedicated to a could have been a "potential superstar at Motown.

@@hehenry2408 It's about singing and not about looks. Flo is very pretty/sexy, but Diane is in the charisma/beauty section. Last but not least, although she was the perfect background for the Supremes, she hadn't the voice for a successful solo Karriere. And that's a fact! Last but not least: Diane was wisely chosen from Berry Gordy, called THE EAR!

@@monicabella7894 what ever.

It’s not a compilation or remix.

What about the Marvelettes what about Martha and the Vandellas

@@wymell9724 and what about em?

She did. It was for about a month but she did sing 'Reflections' as DRATS. Also they performed for a while as The Supremes With Diana Ross.

I read about that. The day they changed the marquis name to "Diana Ross and the Supremes" she was fired just before she was to go on stage under that name. Cindy Birdsong went on instead.

She recorded it before the name change, as well as "In and Out of Love", which was later overdubbed by the Andantes. These were the last two singles released by Motown which featured all three Supremes singing on them, with the exception of the singles recorded with the Temptations, where Cindy Birdsong replaced Florence Ballard.

Some musician at the Flamingo overheard Flo tell Gordy backstage that she was "not singin under no Diana Ross and the Supremes." Flo had noticed that the marquee had suddenly changed its moniker to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Flo was gone the next day but not of her own accord. Gordy threatened to have Flo removed from the stage by security if she didn't leave town quickly and quietly.

JACK ANTHONY Gordy was a slime ball for the way he treated Flo.

Diana Ross was by far the reason the Supremes were a huge, phenomenal group. Her lead voice carried the Supremes as demonstrated by the fact that her backup singers changed over time. Ms. Ross was always the lead singer.

Try most of Phil spector, wall of sound.... this sound you hear here was deeply influenced by phil , thank you

Y lo poco que la valoro el tal Berry Gordy.

I always thought Florence was beautiful and I think she could've out sung Diana.

@@juliemarshall7913 She originally was the lead singer.

@@riomar1749 a

Sounds even better after 50 yrs. Now that I have gotten older, it seems I have the time to listen and really appreciate the music.

Amen

Beautiful soothing sounds Music

🙋👠👠👠👠👠👠.

No way can you stop or hurt the Supremes

Flo cutting up in back ground her voice was pretty an powerful Barry new that he had get rid of flo he was with Daina could have that showing her up Barry wrong for that Destored Flo

@@thatgirlteateagang9193 yeah she sounded amazing. They all did

You sound so very good!!!!!!

Beg to differ with you. The Marvelettes had a much stronger stage presence than that of the Supremes. The Marvelettes were better dancers, their choreography was more "crisp" than that of the Supremes. More time and money got invested with the Supremes than that of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas or the Marvelettes. Both of these groups had a "product" whereas the Supremes were the "product". They tried more things with the Supremes that they did not do with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas or the Marvelettes. Both of these groups were far more talent superior to the Supremes. The Supremes were like a "test bed" for Motown during that time period but you were looking at more time and more money at work. Some things paid off and other things did not. Getting back to Florence Ballard, she simply had "God given raw natural talent" that was far superior to Diana Ross' any day. Florence Ballard had the "grace to hold herself" while some envied her. Florence was a "diamond that simply needed a little polishing". She had the natural beauty of a Lena Horne or Dorothy Dandridge and it was envied by some people. Berry Gordy just simply failed to acknowledge the fact that when Florence Ballard at his fingertips, he wouldn't accept the idea that he had a "potential superstar" within his reach, but his interests simply lied elsewhere and the rest is history. Shame on you Berry Gordy!!!

Beautiful wardrobe. I designed one of my prom gowns from a dress I saw them wear on the Ed Sullivan show. My cousins and I used to pretend to be the Supremes in the mirror.
