This pic is from the Supremes in the orient tour in late 1966. Florence is singing "People".

Thank you! What a treasure of a photo!

What a great picture! You forget how statuesque Florence was, taller than Mary and Diana. I had the wonderful pleasure of hearing Florence sing lead on People on three different occasions and every time the audience was shocked by the range and power of Florence's tenor voice. When they did it a the Copa the song got the biggest applause of the evening.

Hi!
I'm enjoying the knowledge and comments about music. Michale/Cleoharvey-I thought Florence was a 1st soprano, not a tenor. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Did Flo sing People during the Supremes first gig at the Copa in the summer of '65? And is their live album the entire concert or were songs left off b/c of time restictions?
By Marvel (65.42.85.131) on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 - 07:02 pm: |
To my knowledge Flo did not sing "People" at the first Copa gig. There were a few songs left off of the album I think "From This Moment On" was one. At least Flo did get to perform the song till the end of her career with the supremes in 1967.

BTW Handsome, Florence was a 1st soprano

If Flo got a standing ovation at the Copa....well, there you go....Ms. Diana took care of that in short order!

Yes every book on the subject has said Flo began the Copa engagement singing People and it was taken from her--her one solo. Almost all point to that incident as the beginning of Flo's despondency and increased conflict.
