  • The Supremes (1962-1970)
    Sep 11 2025

    Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! We are your hosts, Jumpin' John McDermott and Bill Price. In this episode we are going to discuss the first 8 years in the career of one of the most successful performers of the 1960's. This group also became the flagship act of Motown Records: The Supremes! Our focus will be on what one might call the "Diana Ross version" of the group, from 1962 through January 1970. This podcast is another in our continuing Girl Groups Series here on Rock and Roll Flashback. We loosely define Girl Groups as being primarily American female vocal groups popular from the late 1950's through the mid-1960's. The Girl Group era produced a clearly identifiable hybrid of gospel, rhythm and blues, doo-wop, and pop. These Girl Groups rose in popularity during the period between the heyday of early 1950's rock and roll and the mid-1960's British Invasion.
