A SUPREME AFFAIR !
The three-part harmonies in standards such as "Sincerely," "The Boy from Ipanema" or "Sleepwalk" are a delight to hear and reveal such an amazing virtuosity that could make us forget how young were Diana Mary and Florence when they tackled these standards. These previously "unreleased recordings" by The Supremes capture the essence of what the group was all about before corporate Motown decided to turn it into the launching pad for a solo superstar. There is also plenty of proof here that with The Supremes we didn't get just harmonizing female vocalists but all around performers which might account for their everlasting success and legendary status. Just listen to their delightful exchange in "Fancy Passes," "Mr. Sandman" or "People" and you know this is not a typical girl group of the 60s. These are three young ladies that could sing, that enjoyed singing together and could communicate that joy on the listeners. Of course from the very beginning there's evidence of Diana's special talents. Both her sound and her delivery were unique and you can hear it well in "Big City Babies Don't Cry", "Little Miss Loser", "Something from my Heart" or "If I Ruled the World. " To continue the argument of who was the best Supreme or who had the better voice is foolish and pointless. All three were talented performers but Ross was special in many ways and that was her fortune. We fans should be happy by the fact that unreleased material by The Supremes keeps popping up for all to enjoy and to remind us of the facts behind the fairy tale. .


The Supremes at their best!
I think Berry Gordy was out of his mind not to release this wonderufl collection back when it was recorded in 1965. This collection of unreleased classic recordings which were to have made up two albums of material - "There's a Place For Us" and "The Supremes - From Broadway to Hollywood" showcase the girls' vocal harmonies that were largely unheard on most of their more popular recordings and hit records. Many of the songs appear on the Supremes first live album, "At the Copa" and while they are done fairly well live, it's the studio recordings the girls did that reveal just how talented they were as a group - not just as a lead and background - but as a truly cohesive unit. These recording display the vocal harmonies that the girls were known for at the early stages of their career.

For the first time you really get to hear Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard shine on a couple of lead vocals like "Our Day Will Come" and "People", proving that they were both as talented as Diana Ross. It was well known that when Florence performed "People" at their live shows it was literally a show-stopper - critics never failed to mention her beautiful voice or brilliant timing. It's too bad that Berry Gordy's relentless pursuit to make Diana Ross a star while stifling the talents of both Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson, ultimately led to the demise of the group. At least we have this collection - as well as the "Rodgers and Hart" recordings, preserved for posterity which show what the Supremes were truly about - THREE talented young girls from Detroit who loved to sing together!.
