THE SUPREMES
The Supremes are the original girl group. They grew up in housing projects in Detroit, Michigan and rose to fame in the early 1960s. They sang Motown, which bridged pop and soul music. In 1965, they set a record for the most consecutive number one hits by an American group. These songs included “Stop! In the Name of Love”, “Baby Love” and “I Hear a Symphony”. Members Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson impressively broke into a field dominated by white men.
