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.
