NOTHING SUPREME ABOUT THIS RECORDING, November 18, 2004
This review is from: Simply Supreme (Audio CD)
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.

Simply not the truth, November 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Simply Supreme (Audio CD)
This CD is a bad remake of classic Supremes songs done by a fractured group of two ex-Supremes replacements and one "never was": Freddi Poole (who was never under contract to Motown as a Supreme and never sang with any of the original members), Lynda Laurence (who bolted from the group after only one year [1972-1973]), and Scherrie Payne who in 1974 replaced Jean Terrell (who had replaced Diana Ross in 1970). How they were able to record under the name "The Supremes" remains a mystery to me.
Nearly every song is a new recording of familiar titles to Supremes fans, such as "My World Is Empty Without You," "Stoned Love," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "Nathan Jones," etc. In addition, there are a few songs here that this group sings in their act such as "How Do You Keep The Music Playing" and "A Natural Woman." Taken at face value, the vocal performances are fair. Taken at Supremes value, this CD simply does not measure up. It's too long, too boring, and simply not worth the time or money unless you are a rabid collector of all things Supreme; no matter how many degrees of separation.
