8 comments so far (post your own)The Supremes rose from poverty to become Motown's most successful hitmakers and the most popular women group in the 60s. For a time, they rivaled the Beatles in terms of commercial popularity, having five number one hits in a row in 1965 alone. They sang with a polished tone that brought pop and soul together. Their greatest strength were thier songs which were composed by the incredible songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland. Under the ever-watchful eye of Berry Gordy, the relationship between the group and the songwriters yielded a massive wave of chart-topping hits like "Baby, Where Did Our Love Go?", "Stop In the Name of Love" and "You Keep Me Hangin' On" in the mid-60s.

It was such a bittersweet night because Three Groups lost someone. The Beatles (John Lennon), Florence Ballard, and Dennis Wilson. The Marvelettes still haven't been inducted and Three of it's Members are dead. Wanda Young, Gladys Horton, & Georgia Dobbins. Posted by tamla on Wednesday, 01/19/2022 @ 19:42pm |
