“[When The Supremes arrived at a NYC hotel to meet The Beatles, they found the band] playing with toys, giggling inexplicably, and behaving in an excessively silly manner. Flo [Florence Ballard] was surprised to see that the four superstars ‘had little cars they would wind up and scoot across the floor. We had time to talk, but they were too busy playing with their cars. When I saw them doing that, I looked and said, “They’re kind of strange.”’
The meeting was marred by an awkward silence most of the time. One of the Beatles would ask the women a question, they would answer, and the silence would descend again. Then someone would tell a joke, and everyone would giggle nervously. […] Since the Beatles were obviously eager to get back to other things, the Supremes left quickly, with the excuse that they had to rush back to the Copa for their second show.
But Flo rose above the incident and saw the bright side even when, in the view of others, a mini-fiasco occurred. ‘They’re some hell of writers,’ she said years later. ‘All the tunes they made I was crazy about. They have a lot of meaning to me.’” - The Lost Supreme: The Life Of Dreamgirl Florence Ballard(2008)“Which Beatle do they like best? Diana: ‘All four. I love them as a group sound.’ Mary: ‘Me, ditto.’ Florence: ‘George. He’s so dreamy looking.’” - New Musical Express, 3 June 1967
“I think they were waiting for the Ronettes or something. That meeting with The Beatles was kind of odd. But as I said, later on George and I became very dear friends; in fact, I bought a limo from him.” - Mary Wilson, Rock Cellar Magazine, 14 August 2017 (x)

The SUPREMES
The recent sudden passing of Mary Wilson prompted me to go into my archives, where I found this interview with the Supremes of ‘75 (Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong & Scherrie Payne) from The Advocate’s August 13, 1975 Discos! issue. Hope to post more from that issue. Full transcribed interview on the main blog and some personal thoughts on the late Mary Wilson.
