CD Reviews
NOTHING SUPREME ABOUT THIS RECORDING

"Bad production, lousy cover and insult to the real Supremes who have by the way offically disbanded. Go get the original recordings and save your money."
Why Bother?

"This is yet another re-compilation of the bad pseudo-Supremes recordings done by two former members and two never were members. While the vocals are passable, this cd would never have been released if not to cannibalize the Supremes name. Stick a real Motown recording if you want the Supremes - that's where the REAL SUPREMES CAN BE FOUND - ON MOTOWN!"
SIMPLY SUPREME? SIMPLY WANNA-BE A SUPREME IS MORE LIKE IT

"PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS CD SIMPLY SUPREME,IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SIMPLY SUPREME,GET THE REAL THING WITH DIANA ROSS,MARY WILSON AND FLORENCE BALLARD AND FORGET THIS KNOCK OFF!WHEN I GOT THIS CD, I PLAYED IT IN MY CAR AND THEN THREW IT OUT THE WINDOW.YES IT'S THAT BAD! THESE SUPREME WANNA-BE'S EVEN HAS A CD WITH DIANA,MARY AND FLORENCE ON THE COVER AND ANOTHER WITH JEAN TERRELL AND MARY WILSON AND CINDY BIRDSONG ON A COVER. THEY HAVE TO MISLEAD BUYERS TO BUY THEIR CDS. IN MY OPINION SHERRI PAYNE AND LYNDA LAURENCE HAS NO RIGHT CALLING THEMSELVES SUPREMES,UNLESS THEIR STANDING NEXT TO MARY WILSON,WHO GAVE THEM THEIR BIG BREAK TO BE A SUPREME!!!!!!!!!!"
Zero stars wasn't an option

"Between the canned production, gaudy costumes and cheap graphics that these 3 and their handlers have employed, they have (despite having great voices) cheapened the legacy that was The Supremes in ways that Diana's & Mary's bickering haven't managed to do. Whatever legalities entitle them to perform and release re-hashed Karoake-quality covers as "The Supremes" do not excuse the lack of class and diplomacy that would have kept something like this from ever happening. Even their "other" group name, "Former Ladies of The Supremes," doesn't fully apply, since Poole is not a former Supreme. Lynda's vocals appear on one Motown-released Supremes album & additional single ("Bad Weather"). She has probably contributed far more vocally to Stevie Wonder's recordings as a former member of his backup group, "Wonderlove" (yes, that's her wailing on Stevie's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered") than her official time as a Supreme (1.5 years).If collections like "Simply Supreme" are to be credited with keeping The Supremes' legacy alive, I'd rather see it put to a dignified rest."
