Diana Ross and The Supremes

Diana Ross & The Supremes - Reflections
This is a fine clip that I only recently came across and is now my all-time fave Supremes clip. Lots of mirrors & sequins to create reflections. The strings and orchestration just give me goose bumps every time I watch this clip - so watch out!

Mary Wilson has just opened an exhibition at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery of the dresses from this period time in time, just £3 on thedoor!
During the mid-1960s, The Supremes achieved mainstream success with Ross as lead singer. In 1967, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & The Supremes and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong (shown behind Ross)).

Ross left to pursue a solo career in 1970 and was replaced by Jean Terrell, at which point the group's name returned to The Supremes. After 1972, the lineup of The Supremes changed more frequently; Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene all became members of the group during the mid-1970s. The Supremes disbanded in 1977 after an eighteen-year run.
