Twelve number one hits. Twelve. For a while on the charts The Supremes rivaled the kids from Liverpool. They almost weren't The Supremes at all. They USED to be the Primettes. Originally Barry Gordy thought they were too young to be stars. He finally agreed to sign them if they'd change their name. Gordy gave Florence Ballard a list of names to choose from. She chose The Supremes which Diana Ross and Mary Wilson didn't like because they felt it was too masculine sounding.
Huh, one time Diana didn't get her way. Here are The Supremes with 'Baby Love'
Oh, and PLEASE come up with suggestions as to the possible name of the dance the gorpy white kid is doing right in front of the stage about halfway through.
