Book Review: The Supremes Story is indeed Supreme
Summary: 5 Stars

The Supremes Story is a beautiful book with photos of the most famous female singing group of all time. The book highlights their contribution to the civil rights movement and the way society viewed Black women and Black people generally. They inspired so many young people of all races with their style, glamour, and most of all their talent and individual beauty...Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, and Diana Ross. This book confirms their place in the musical, social, and cultural history of the world. Anywhere you go in the world, even today...everybody, no matter how young or old, whether in the mountains of Peru or the cities in any part of the world know and understand the significance of the most famous hand gesture of all..."Stop!" in the Name of Love...Hats off to the Supremes. Michael Mahsetky

Summary of The Story of the Supremes

A dazzling celebration of one of the most successful musical groups of the sixties, The Story of the Supremes presents the incredible wardrobe that created the group's unmistakable style and the billboards, posters, and photographs that made it timeless.

?

From their beginnings as The Primettes to the height of their glamour and fame in the seventies, The Supremes' career has been nothing short of remarkable. Here, acclaimed music journalist Daryl Easlea traces the history of a group that was second only to the Beatles in number-one hits and whose success story helped change racial perceptions during the civil rights movement. A joyful tribute to the queens of Motown, The Story of The Supremes is a magnificent collection of dresses worn by Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and of course, Diana Ross, in concert, on television, and on the iconic album covers that defined an era of music.
