 Rating:  - flo, is not lostThe Supreme. i did have to think about getting this cd, but i gave in and went for it, i dont think flo is lost, she will always be a part of a great group and never forgotten. the songs are iam affraid just not good enough for her voice,i do know its the 60s but i think she should have been given much better songs to sing, so the cd for me was a big let down,but she still has a good voice and you can hear how down she must have been with her lot in life.for me not one song stands out, you have to get past the supremes to really listen to this cd and take her as just a good singer, so in my book she is not lost and never will be. if you are thinking about this cd do get it and you will have to listen to it many times to see it for what it is. ... Read More: Rating:  - The first SupremeWhile still at school, Florence impressed the Detroit locals, sometimes singing solo and sometimes with the Primes (an all-boys group that later became the Temptations). Florence was advised to form an all-girl group, which she did. Originally called the Primettes, it featured Florence as lead singer with Diana Ross and Mary Wilson among the three other singers. The fourth member (Betty McGlown) left and was replaced by Barbara Martin but when Barbara left, the group became a trio. The Primettes recorded one single for a small label but one side featured Diana as lead singer and the other side featured Mary as lead singer. The single flopped. Eventually, the trio signed for Motown and became the Supremes. With Florence restored as lead ... Read More: Rating: - Flo honoured at lastFlorence Glenda Ballard, born 30th June 1943, the eighth of thirteen children, did pretty well for someone from the Brewster Housing Project in Detroit, as did some of the Primettes, the group she founded from the neighborhood in 1957. They became the Supremes and conquered the world. Unfortunately, the pressures of fame and fortune affected "Blondie" adversely. She developed alcohol, diet pill and drug dependencies, had weight problems and became increasingly unreliable. Berry Gordy's decision that Diana Ross should be the Supremes' lead singer didn't help, as it didn't suit Flo's temperament to be sidelined in such a way. She didn't, for example, turn up for the recording session for My World Is Empty Without You and session singer Marlene ... Read More: Rating: - A Supreme Star Shines Like An AngelAll I can say is WOW! It's taken 33 years to get Flo's 1968 album released, and words can't express how happy I am that the day has finally come that the fans can hear it the way it was meant to be heard. I'd recommend it for any Supremes fan, any Florence Ballard fan. Jeff Willens (who mixed Disc 4 of the Supremes box set) did the mixes, and they are clean and full. Although I didn't see a credit for him on the packaging (which leaves a lot to be desired), Jeff deserves kudos for his exceptional job mastering this album. I am truly full of emotion. Completely enchanted. If you've heard bootlegs of this album before, you still haven't heard it until you've heard this CD. For me, it makes me think of 1968, a piece that works like ... Read More: |
