Our Motown 45th Anniversary Artists Avatar of the Week is back to stay. So this week, will feature on of Motown's biggest super female group, the Supremes. The group began in the Brewster Projects back in the late 50's consisted of Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson. The group signed with Motown in 1961 and released their first single "I Want a Guy", it flopped it first followed by "Buttered Popcorn". The first song made it to the Top 10 was "When the Lovelight Shines Right Through His Eyes". In 1964, their first #1 hit "Where Di Our Love Go" was a success. It was wriiten by teams of Holland-Dozier-Holland. The group did successfully with other big hits like "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Back In My Arms Again" and other big #1 hits. In the late 60's Florence left the Supremes and replacing it with Cindy Birdsong. The group continued with their hits like "Reflections", "I'm Living In a Shame" and a duet with the Temptations on "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me". Diana's last single was "Someday We'll Be Together" was a #1 hit at the end of 1969. Diana left the Supremes in 1970's to go solo. I'll have more on Diana's solo career next week. The Supreme did well in the 70's with Jean Terrell as her replacement with songs like "Up the Ladder to the Roof", "Stoned Love" and "Nathan Jones". The Supremes offically left their seperate ways in 1977. The group came back with Diana for a reunion concert. It flopped. That's was just another story.

It was good that it worked out like that. I think it's fitting that the last #1 single of the 60's was a song from that decade's top American group titled "Someday We'll Be Together". Seemed like a perfect way to say goodbye to the decade and to the group with Diana Ross.

Next week, will feature a solo career of Diana Ross.

isiahthomas · 09-13-2004, 11:51 AM

Diana Ross had a huge ego problem & i'm surprised The Supremes lasted as long as they did. Her & Mary Wilson didn't get along which led to the group breakin up & Diana didn't even go to Florence Ballard's funeral cause i heard her & Diana were at odds with each other. Diana Ross looks ugly as hell on the album cover of Mahogany soundtrack hahahahahahahaha. Whenever i see that album cover, it scares the hell outta me LOL. That album has the song Ain't No Mountain High Enough on it.

Bob's TV Treasures · 09-13-2004, 12:25 PM

You missed one important supremes record...
They made one on a small Detroit label called LUPINE Records under the name "The Primettes." It's LUPINE #120 ("Pretty Baby" backed with "Tears of Sorrow"). It currently sells for around $800.00, and at that time, the group was a
QUARTET.

No, Ain't No Mountain High Enough was Diana Ross' first solo number 1 after she left The Supremes in 1970.

isiahthomas · 09-13-2004, 08:24 PM

What album of her's was Ain't No Mountain High Enough on?

Dean Winchester · 09-13-2004, 08:32 PM

Ain't No Mountain High Enough was on Diana's self titled debut solo album from 1970.... not to be confused with her self-titled 1976 album which had Love Hangover

I love Diana but she does have an ego...I remember a few years back she performed in my area and they had to put a special carpet down because she refused to step on the linoleum (sp?)

isiahthomas · 09-14-2004, 10:51 AM

LOL@Diana didn't wanna step on linoleum hahahahahahahaha. She got issues. She ain't nobody special with that long ass weave of her's LOL. Remember when she got busted by the police in Arizona earlier this yr for drunk driving? LOL. I know she felt stupid.

Bob's TV Treasures · 09-14-2004, 11:47 AM

Same woman who had a number one hit with a song called
"Love Hangover" gets pulled over for DUI. That's funny.
