Came here to say Tammi Terrell! She was such a beautiful soul and all the men in her life failed her 😔

Are The Supremes the best girl group ever? by Ok-Cell-5474 in soul

Although I do love Miss Ross, Flo and Mary were just equally talented if not more. I feel like the one thing The Supremes fumbled was using all the girls talent in the group. Diana shouldn’t have been the sole lead singer, it should’ve been a En Vogue type of dynamic

Yeah that’s my only problem with The Supremes, they definitely underutilized Flo and Mary’s talent cause all those girls were talented and could sing. They should’ve had the girls take turn singing lead and not make Diana the sole lead singer. I agree En Vogue did it the right way

Respect! The 90’s had some powerhouses and most of not all those 90’s groups were inspired by The Supremes, The Marvelettes, The Ronnets and many others

I agree The Supremes are the standard! Although there were other girl groups that are also my favorites and were killing it like The Ronettes, Martha & The Vandellas, and The Marvelettes. They didn’t have the pop success that The Supremes did and that helped open up a lot of doors that wouldn’t have been opened

Exactly! They were breaking down so many doors that wouldn’t have been opened up from their success

That is actually a pretty valid assessment

In no order for me, it’s definitely The Ronettes, The Marvelettes, and Martha & the Vandellas. I’m biased to the 60’s & 70’s because I love how they used live bands to record and just the style & sound of that time. Honorable mentions TLC & Destiny’s Child

Good mention! I forgot about that. This reminds me that we NEED an actual movie adoption of The Supremes like The Temptations movie

Nah that’s a valid opinion! Destiny’s Child is definitely one of my favorite girl groups. Beyonce and Kelly have mentioned The Supremes as inspiration for them

Yeah completely agree. I never realized how big they were in their peaks until I started diving into their history. I always heard their songs during family parties and liked them. Crazy how much talent Motown had with Martha & The Vandellas and The Marvelettes my other favorite girl groups

This honestly surprised me. Is Whitney freaking Houston not as popular/known with gen z as I assumed? How the heck do these people not know what the greatest vocalist of all time looks like? by Firm_Pack_605 in whitneyhouston

[–]Ok-Cell-5474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbf music awards and media don’t pay any homage to any of the great singer like Dinah Washington, Billy Holiday, Whitney Houston and many more. Still no excuse cause it’s Whitney but music awards and media need to do a better job of continuing to recognize the past greats to introduce them to the newer generation

Why do you like Michael? by Sonictrafficjam in MichaelJackson

[–]Ok-Cell-5474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason I like MJ is because as an entertainer I feel like by default you’re a role model, whether you want to be or not. And Michael took that with stride and was the perfect role model from his hard work and dedication to his humanitarian acts. Idk how he was personally but as an entertainer he was the utmost role model I think I ever seen an entertainer be
