(470) THE SUPREMES : MOTOWN GIRL GROUP THAT HIT THE BIG TIME!

ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME SUPREMES INDUCTEES BIO link

As you may know, Diana Ross and The Supremes had some personnel changes, and then Diana went solo.  They were Mod.  They were Glamour! They spelled Motown.  Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this bio is comprehensive.

Motown, the word, comes from Detroit's nickname "MOTOR CITY." Musically the sound put Detroit on the music map like it had never been.  (Years later Madonna put Detroit on the map again but she had to go to THE BIG APPLE to do it!)
