#FBF The Supremes
Today our Flashback Friday is for the Queen of divas and the first girl group to receive world wide recognition 'The Supremes'. 'The Supreems' were all born and raised in "Detroit Michigan" and consisted of 'Diana Ross, Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard'; in 1961 the trio signed to "Motown Records" after visiting the recording studio everyday after school to tempt record executive 'Berry Gordy' to sign them to the critically acclaimed record label. Before the trio signed to the label 'Gordy' made the ladies contribute on other Motown artist records such as Marvin Gaye & Mary Wells with hand-claps and background vocals. 'The Supremes' first number one hit was "Where Did Our Love Go" reaching number one on the US Pop Charts; they followed with hit after hit including "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", Stop! In The Name Of Love" and many many more reaching world wide success the group were given the title "Americas Most Successful Vocal Group". Even after the groups split during the 1970's they have gone down in history as the most iconic girl-group of all time with their glamorous gowns and slick hairstyles, the group have inspired many Girlbands even today within the music industry and many have based their careers on the trio who paved the way for many. 'The Supreems' will forever and always be an important part of music history and and continue to receive royalties on their song's even today.
