Miss Florence Ballard voice was truly Amazing and Berry knew may she R I H ❤❤❤Love u always 🎉🎉
You've done Florence a fine service with this remembrance. I grew up in Detroit and loved the Supremes when they were a real trio. It's a real testimony to their influence that we still remember them. But Flo and Mary can harmonize in Heaven now, bless them.
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a nice comment.
🕊️💖🕊️RIP FLO

Thank you for sharing this 🥰
Thank you for watching!
It was said that having A SURPRISING TALENT as A COMEDIAN....
FLO caught the attention of legendary Actress and Comedian, Lucille Ball who was interested in taking her under her tutelage.
The last myth was that a Broadway producer saw Flo and wanted to star her in a show. You guys make things up. I'm 73 and have followed them since 1964. If that were true I would know it.
I wish that had come to pass. I love hearing Flo's wisecracks on live performances.
Flo had a nice body, she was GORGEOUS
I lllloooovvvveeee flo ballard, and berry gordy should be ashamed of himself for what he did!!!!!!
I’m late ash i just realized the movie dream girl was somewhat of a biopic of the their group
Berry ain’t living long for nothing…..The longer you live the harder karma’s coming back to him strong….Show business is really dirty
You got that right, KARMA IS gonna be Ugly for Berry and Diana.
Are you nuts? Diana felt her karma already. Her brother was found murdered in a basement with his wife, pitbulls were unleaded on them and they were tied and gagged. Her husband died in a ski accident, her reunion with the silt was a flop, she did tiny bit of time in jail for a dui, was drinking and probably on an anxiety type of pill. She did some time in a rehab and was motherly to everyone there. The Supremes were at the top of their game at 20,21,22,23. Very young! Coming from out the hood? Yeah… they didn’t know that much better. Also, Flo was just as responsible for her own life. Mary did well, with some struggle.. but she stayed doing what she loved no matter what. Flo got in her own way, above anything else.
@@davidrosemale3573 FOR DAMN SURE
Berry Said Later, That He Regret Not Using Florence and Mary On More Songs.. It’s To Late
I never ever heard him say that and I read his bio penned by him...he said Mary thought it should have been her but he said she didn't have the magic Diana did. and he was right
@@Maatization not in the bio but he said so in an interview
Interesting that The Supremes are still being thought of all these years later. I would definitely be interested to see if this would lead to a film being made about the rise and fall of this iconic vocal group.
That would be a great movie too 😊
It hasn't happened yet because Berry and Diana won't let it happen due to their dirt they did then. How they treated Florence and others. They don't want to be outed. KARMA is going to get them
They didn’t DO anything to anybody. Gordy put more love and attention into The Supremes and others were jealous about it. It’s just that simple. Flo couldn’t handle the pressures of the growing business, and it was definitely BIG BUSINESS. Flo also didn’t like a lot of the show tune music. And wasn’t always good at the dance steps, Mary said that’s where Flo would struggle a lot of the time. So Flo just had a lot of insecurities. All of the girls did.. but they pushed through best they could. Diana is 80 now and I’m going to see her. She’s a smart woman and opened a lot of doors for black people, her Flo and Mary. Focus on that… Flo also had a terrible husband, no one seems to blame him for anything. Flo had from 1967 to 1975 to make better choices. And chose to stay with a scum like her husband, who stole the money Diana Ross left for her children.
R.i.P. Florence❤
Florence Ballard was a God gifted talent vocal powerhouse. Her talents were grossly overlooked and tremendously ignored. Berry Gordy knew he had a vocal powerhouse on his hands but due to his involvement with Diana Ross, Florence's talents were sidelined and pushed aside. Shame on Berry Gordy for his behaviour toward her.
They all were amazing woman with 3 different styles, that's what should have stayed taking turns
REST IN PEACE FLORENCE GLENDA BALLARD, YOU'RE STILL TERRIFIC.
MUST have been hard for Mary and FLo watching that Berry being so pre-occupied with Di....I love them all but yes surely they could have all shared leads!
And Flo, she don't know
Cuz the boy she loves is a Romeo
Most male Bosses like Gordy, like needy women whose presence can be controlled
Florence's presence was too strong
Damn,Barry did her dirty😮
Diana Ross was a snake too. Flo could outsing Diana anyday.
Dog done skippy!
@@evelynbarksdale4118 that's a lie from the pits of HELL!!!!!!!! It's not Ms. Ross's fault. We all are snakes; we all have the human being component.
My aunt took me to see them in 1965 at the Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel in San Fr ancisco. When we left she told me Flo looked like she was 3 months pregnant. I remember her stomach sticking out though being a fan of the group I didn't like what my aunt said but it was true.
Well that's Showbiz kids !! Nice work if you can get it ? 👏👏
♥️
She was the best singer of the group. Diana and Berry did her so dirty
Dam right.sad
Yeah right. I have ocean front property in Missouri.
She was a beautiful woman
The Prettiest Supreme.Diana should be ashamed but being Diana isnt
Really is heartbreaking.
Berry Gordy made the decision, not Ms. Ross.
what happened to flo is of course really awful (i find it rather lousy, to say the least, that motown who claimed to be 'like a family' didnt help her with some cahs when she fell into genuine poverty. however- one way or another diana was always gonna be a superstar, thats the truth.
Is not Berry Gordy dead now
No he is still alive
See Diana didn't come later
Y'all
Stop this judgemental b.s
Most of you people weren't even born yet y'all talking like you were right there in person around the time all of this was going on with the supremes
I don't like that I just say my own opinion the people who do that are the obsessive fans of Diana Ross.
Flo could outsing diana the snake anyday. Berry wastoo.
Lies!
She outed herself out of the group
AMEN!!!!! Thank you @jeffslocs she did out herself. Show Business is a business! 💙💙🙏🏿🙏🏿
@@edglebennett6312why don't y'all hush because at this point y'all are just lowlife evil Diana Ross Stan's. You think just because show business is show business that you have to step on people and hurt people to get to the top and no matter what video was made or is made about Florence y'all will always come on every single video and speak negatively on purposely just because of y'all obsession with Diana Ross and will never accept the things she did to People as she became famous
