1/3. Another chance to hear a celebration of the Supremes, the Motown hits machine that emerged from the girl-group era to dominate the American pop charts like no other act during the 1960s. Nurtured and packaged for white and black audiences by Motown king Berry Gordy and fronted by Diana Ross until a personnel shift in 1969, the sequined trio enjoyed a run of hit singles - unique in their polished perfection - that included 12 US number ones. Classics include
Where Did Our Love Go, Baby
Love, Stop! In the Name of Love,
You Can't Hurry Love, Reflections and Love Child. This first part recalls the pre-fame days, with input from Supreme Mary Wilson , plus archive interviews with Diana Ross and ex-Supreme Florence Ballard , who died in 1976. Producer Sue Clark
