ANY RUDE COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED........Vanessa(Channel Moderator)Few Motown Acts could be put into the same caliber of THE SUPREMES.The pretty much were R&B's music equivalent to What The Beatles were to Rock Music Listeners. The Supremes had a universal charm & appeal to them,their songs were likable as well,and had 7(Correction 12) # 1 Songs during the Years Of 1964 To 1969. Florence Ballard was the founder of the group .Her very Soulful voice added great harmony to the group.Diana Ross's voice always came off a little popsy.Flo was cut loose from the group in 1967,replaced by Cindy Birdsong.Flo pretty much struggled the remainder of her short life,she did have a brief solo career (Audio In This Video LOVE ISN'T LOVE And FOREVER FAITHFUL) 2 nicely sung ballads by Flo made in the late 1960s. Florence left us too soon, On February 22,1976 she suffered a severe stroke and was pronounced dead.I recall at the age of 11 my mom and late grandmamma talking about her death. i was too young.All I knew was one of the Supremes died. A Movie about Ms.Ballard is currently in the works , with actress Terry Dexter picked to play the role of Flo,Faith Evans declined the role.Jennifer Hudson's character in the 2005 Classic DREAM GIRLS was based on Florence Ballard
