The Supremes - Luncheon Date [1966]

Музыка

The Supremes appeared on the canadian TV show "Luncheon Date" hosted by Elwood Glover. The trio discusses the previous night concert at the O'Keefe Centre, how they got together, Motown Records, and the style of their music, which has switched from 3-part harmony to the new sound of Ballard and Wilson singing back-up to Ross’s lead. They touch on the subject of money - their one-hundred-dollar-a-week allowance, the cost of their gowns, and finally how success has affected their lives. The show was aired on 21st June 1966.

    I believe it. I have read that Gordy constantly nit-picked over any and every mistake she made. He put a LOT of pressure on her; so stories about her being on the "bitchy" side back then would make sense. Imagine being in your early 20's and have so much riding on your performances. Oh...and the boss is also your lover so there is even more pressure. Not like she could call her boyfriend and vent about the boss.

    Some of the comments below about Flo, Mary and Diana are just insane. We're talking about a group - of teenage girls really - that were at the top of the charts some 50 years ago! And yet the insults and vitriol flung at one Supreme or another make it sound as if they're politicians or still relevant pop artists. We didn't know any of these people personally at the time, and we still don't know who they are. We don't know what they felt, what challenges they faced, or how they coped with being international stars at the time when you could count black female superstars on one hand. But we do know their music and for that alone they should be accorded some respect.

    Actually, I think the male interviewer was kind of sweet on Florence. Back in those days, when a guy LIKED a girl, he would gently tease her about something, to get her attention. You'll notice the guy asked Florence to move in closer, then as the interview progressed, he began looking directly at Florence while asking questions. Flo seemed a bit startled and unprepared for that, and notice Diana began looking a bit put out and irritated. He had a big crush on Flo, I think, and judging by their looks, both Diana and Florence realized it.

    Random, but you know what I think guys.... I think Diana was made the lead singer because of her high pitch sweet Judy Garland like voice that fit perfectly in this time period. As you can hear, Florance’s voice sounds more southern and more Aretha Franklin like. Definitely not a 1960s time period voice. She was singing in the wrong era and I feel she would’ve made it BIG if she were a singer in the late 1970s. What do you think???

    Flo would be considered skinny nowadays! I think she looks just fine. I saw Mary's gown collection, when she brought them to Seattle, and I couldn't believe how small those gowns were for all three of them. Even the gowns that Cindy wore were small, even though she didn't look like a stick on TV. TV really did add a lot of weight back in the 1960's

    I remember all the stories year in year out, my mom use to share with me about, the Motown greats she grew up with, to this day, it never gets old. Motown could, have marketed Flo solo career if, they really wanted too. The woman could, sing, she had a somewhat, of a soft earth tone voice, could carry a melody, had range, style, & class. She always, seem to stand out yet low-key, within the group, most definitely she was underrated as a singer, and didn't get her due recognition. She seem to be an old soul, and a home body, absolutely family, wife & mother material. The interviewer was disrespectful towards, her concerning her weight. You could, tell it made her feel uncomfortable, but she handled herself with humour & class. Her body type is voluptuous, I would say hourglass shape, the idiot interviewer is judging her, by the white man's standard of what a woman's weight should, be. Oh foolish white man, your standards need not applied here, Flo was a natural beauty, looking like a snack, & diana, boney as my butt crack! Lol. I'm out!

    I read that an offer was made to her for solo albums after she was released from the Supremes. Unfortunately, Florence did not have an entertainment attorney to negotiate it for her. If she had, she probably would have gotten better money and more perks that could have benefited her long-range career. Unfortunately, he handled the first one by herself (big mistake) and when finally did get an attorney to renegotiate, he turned out to be a crook who stole her settlement (even bigger mistake).

But after just hearing interviews in which she talked about being pressured about her weight by Berry Gordy, I feel outraged that Florence endured it publicly, as well. Thin, fat, and in between, we are all women, and human beings. Respect us! Furthermore, she was the Queen Supreme, body and all.

One good thing about this interview occurs when he actually asks musical questions - about harmony and unison, etc., which Mary offers a good answer to.

    Their compensation, a measly $100 a week, was characterized as an "allowance," as if they were little kids. It showed the reign Daddy Gordy had on his girls. You can bet the Beatles didn't receive "allowances" from Capitol Records in the 60's.

    Motown Records in 1965, was independent, the only black owned record company in history. In this era of segregation and Jim Crow, Motown didn't have the money that Capitol Records had! (A white company). There were radio stations that didn't play early Motown songs....all he could pay the group members was 100.00 a week! Beatles? I remember their first hit songs (1964) were on Vee Jay, a black label. The songs success was to be a windfall for the company! Suddenly they were recording on Capitol! Racism reared its ugly head....yeah, I bet the Beatles WEREN'T getting an "an allowance of 100.00 a week"!
