    Classic Supremes: Wilson, Birdsong, & T

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 2, 2002

    Those of you who wondered whatever happen to the Supremes after Diana Ross let the trio, should listen to their "Greatest hits and Rare Classics". From 1970 to 1974, Supremes: "Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong, and Jean Terrell", had a slew of golden... hits befitting the trios legendary status that Ms Wilson had established with Ross and Florence Ballard during the sixties. All of the "Seventies Supremes" recordings are included in the first half of this CD, in addition to classic duets featuring Miss Wilson and Jean Terrell. Ms Terells solo recording, a beautiful ballard entitled "I Had to Fall in love," is also included in this package. Unfortunately for the "Supremes", Cindy Birdsong in search of matrimony and motherhood would briefly leave the trio in "73", followed by Jean Terrell (before Birdsongs return) a year later. The "Spremes" were not able to recover dispite Ms Birsongs return to the trio. Original Supreme Mary Wilson continued the group a trio of ladies who did not make the grade. The less than supreme, disco oriented recordings that are neither "greatest hits nor rare recordings" make up the second half of this CD. Read more Less

  • All Music Guide

    A rather ragtag greatest-hits collection. The Supremes' changing lineups didn't help give this collection any continuity -- nor did the countless producers. Smokey Robinson and Frank Wilson's productions come off better then the others. Wilson produced "Up the Ladder to the Roof," "Stoned Love," and "Everybody's Got the Right to Love," all led by Jean Terrell's biting soprano. "Floy Joy" and "Automatically Sunshine" are the two Smokey productions. Robinson gave the Supremes a coy, cute sound accented by stamping beats and heavy echo in the backing vocals. The first incarnation of new Supremes were Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong, and later Lynda Lawrence. Later, on "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking," and "You're My Driving Wheel," the members were Mary Wilson, Lynda Lawrence, Sherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene. All could sing lead -- a classic example of too many cooks spoiling the soup.

Biography

The Supremes

The most successful American performers of the 1960s, the Supremes for a time rivaled even the Beatles in terms of redhot commercial appeal, reeling off five number one singles in a row at one point. Critical revisionism has tended to undervalue the Supremes' accomplishments, categorizing their work as more lightweight than the best soul stars (or even the best Motown s... Read more
