Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 4ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1989 fuair bean a bhí ag iompair agus a nia bás nuair a bhuail siad leoraí I gCeatharlach. I 2005 bhí a lán brú ar Michael Martin de bharr go raibh táille mhídhleathach ann do theach altranais. I 2005 bhí comhairle baile an tAonach Urmhumhan chun ainmniú agus náiriú a dhéanamh ar na gnó nár íoc a rátaí an bhliain sin. Dúirt bainisteoir an bhaile Paddy Heffernan muna raibh na gnó chun a rátaí a íoc go bheidís ainmnithe. I 2016 bhí Pauric O'Meara, ón chontae ar an teilifís. Bhí sé ag canadh ar The Voice of Ireland. Bhí Bressie a meantóir ar an chlár agus scaip an físeán go rábach nuair a chan sé Maniac 2000. Sin Too Many Broken Hearts ó Jason Donovan – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1989. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1974 tháinig ABBA amach le hamhrán nua darbh ainm Waterloo.

Bhí sí mar bhall den ghrúpa The Supremes ach d'fhág sí an ghrúpa I 1962. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Brooklyn Beckham I Londain ar an lá seo I 1999 agus rugadh aisteoir Catherine O Hara I gCeanada ar an lá seo I 1954 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí.

Karma is the belief that your actions and decisions can influence both your current life and the next one. In simpler terms, what you choose to do can result in positive or negative outcomes. Karma is more complex than it seems; various elements, including our past lives, play a role in determining our outcomes. To help us understand this intriguing concept better, I've invited Dimitri Moraitis to explain the mysteries of this cosmic force. Dimitri Moraitis has been helping souls grow at Spiritual Arts Institute, the school he co-founded with the “Mozart of metaphysics,” Barbara Martin. His nonprofit is known as the premier metaphysical school by thousands of students around the world. He has authored several books, including international bestsellers and lectures across the U.S., and has spoken on various spiritual topics. During our conversation, Dimitri shares insights on the various forms of karma, explaining their effects on us. He also provides practical tips and tools to navigate karmic challenges and prevent the creation of negative karma, which are essential for our spiritual growth.

Step into the foggy streets of Portland in December 1958, where a seemingly perfect family—Ken and Barbara Martin along their three daughters—vanished without a trace. From their cheerful "Candy Lane" home to their fateful trip in search of a Christmas tree, this haunting case captivated the Pacific Northwest as well as the rest of the nation. Featuring nearly daily coverage in newspapers like The Oregonian, the disappearance was a story of unresolved twists, from mysterious sightings of their vehicle to the eventual chilling discovery of two bodies in the Columbia River.Join us as we delve into the investigation of a case that clearly haunted lead Detective Walter Graven of the Portland Police Bureau. We'll explore suspicious ties to ex-convicts, and uncover the enigmatic role of the family's sole survivor, Donald Martin. Did a stolen .38 Colt Commander hold the key to the mystery? Was the family's demise the result of a tragic accident—or something far darker? This episode reexamines one of Oregon's coldest cases and its lingering mysteries. Visit our website!

We're going to explore aura's- that special field of energy that is thought to emanate from all things in nature and is visible by people with psychic abilities. We have all felt someone's aura even if we didn't really know what it was. If you have ever met someone you instantly liked and connected with you were probably reacting to their aura. The same goes for someone you instantly disliked or felt uncomfortable with. We are going to touch on the fascinating world of auras, what they are and how we can harness this incredible spiritual energy. I'm talking to Dimitri Moraitis today who is the co-founder and executive director of the Spiritual Arts Institute in Encinitas, CA. Working with Barbara Martin who is one of the foremost clairvoyants and spiritual teachers in the world, they have re released the 25th anniversary edition of a metaphysical classic Change Your Aura, Change Your Life.

Send us a textIn this episode, Mark and Andrew dig into the story of the Ringelmann Effect, a phenomenon first observed by French academic Max Ringelmann that suggests that individuals produce less output when they're in a group. They explore the historical context of Ringelmann's research and compare it with later research that coined the terms ‘social loafing' and ‘the Sucker effect'. Discussing studies by Ingham, Latane, and Kerr, and their own insights, Mark & Andrew uncover how individual effort can decrease in group settings due to factors like coordination loss, lack of motivation, and perceived fairness. Despite these challenges, the episode demonstrates how teams can still achieve outcomes that individuals never could, as long as there's proper motivation and shared goals.Chapters00:00 Suckers, Social Loafing and the Ringelmann Effect00:45 Introduction to the Ringelmann Effect01:34 Exploring the Original Ringelmann Paper03:58 Ringelmann's Experiments and Findings08:42 Coordination vs. Motivation in Group Effort18:20 Steiner's research19:10 Extending Ringelmann: Ingham's Rope-Pulling Experiments23:11 Latané et al's research24:47 Latane's Social Loafing Studies28:21 Coordination vs Motivation32:26 Exploring Attribution and Equity35:46 Understanding Overconfidence Bias38:47 The Sucker Effect and Social Loafing47:04 Positive and Negative pulls on team performance48:49 The Role of Motivation in Team Dynamics59:52 Concluding Thoughts on TeamworkResearch cited:Latané, B., Williams, K., & Harkins, S.

They come in different shapes and sizes from dramatic - such as seeing visions, colors or other phenomena - to a more gentle experience like feeling a deeper sense of humility, oneness with others and creation, and deeper compassion.

Metaphysics teaches that we do not go to heaven just because we have been a good person; rather, we grow to heaven through the gradual, majestic process of spiritual evolution. To become a citizen of heaven, we must first unfold all that we can become. Like grades in school, as we unfold who and what we really are as a soul, step-by-step, we grow spiritually. Mystics call this spiritual growth our ascent. Join me and Dimitri Moraitis as we talk about the fascinating topic. Please donate and Help support my channel.

Let's face it, our concept of the “hereafter” keeps us far from the reality that the Divine world supports us in the here and now. Today's guest, Dimitri Moraitis, believes we do not go to heaven just because we're good, we grow to heaven through our spiritual evolution. Dimitri is co-author with Barbara Martin of the book “Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution”. Website: www.SpiritualArts.org

In this episode, hosts Sam and Shervin speak with Barbara about how she empowers cross-functional collaboration and “testing, and iterating, and trying, failing, and starting again” to realize successful technology projects. She also shares the context behind some recent customer-facing AI tools the company has launched to assist customers through the buying process and free up front-line workers to focus on customer engagement instead of operational tasks. Read the episode transcript here. Me, Myself, and AI is a collaborative podcast from MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group and is hosted by Sam Ransbotham and Shervin Khodabandeh.

More Hits by the Supremes is the sixth studio album by Motown's all female group, The Supremes. The album is composed largely of songs already released as singles and their B-sides.The group was composed of vocalists Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and Diana Ross. The group was renamed Diana Ross & the Supremes in 1967, but at this time they were still known as The Supremes. Originally formed in 1959 as The Primettes after being introduced to Berry Gordy by Smoky Robinson, the group began as a quartet including Betty McGlown. McGlown was replaced with Barbara Martin in 1960, then became a trio when Martin left in 1962.Success was slog in coming to The Supremes, and at one time they were known around Motown as "no-hit Supremes." However, The Supremes became Motown's most commercially successful act, and achieved twelve number 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. As part of their appeal the group deliberately embraced a distinctly glamorous feminine image, utilizing high fashion and makeup onstage. They were also prepared by Maxine Powell, who ran Motown's in-house finishing school, to "perform before kings and queens" as they toured the world. The result was an appeal to all audiences, domestically and internationally, and all races. They made 17 appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show."John Lynch joins us for this podcast. Nothing But HeartachesThis hit peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was a disappointment for Motown, as the previous five songs by The Supremes went to number 1. Back In My Arms AgainThe single to this song appeared just before "Nothing But Heartaches," and was a number 1 hit. Whisper You Love Me BoyThis ballad was originally recorded by Mary Wells, but her recording was shelved when she abruptly left Motown. The Supremes recorded it for this album, and it was used as the B-side to the single "Back In My Arms Again." Stop! In the Name of LoveOne of The Supremes' most recognized songs, this track was both a number 1 hit and a Grammy-nominee. The Supremes would be known not just for the song, but for the choreography - one hand on the hip and the other raised in a "stop" gesture. The lyrics are a plea from a girl to "think it over," before he goes with another girl. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:"A Horse Is a Horse" (from the television series "Mr. Ed")The famous Mr. Ed, a talking horse who starred in the sitcom bearing his name, was appearing on CBS during 1965. STAFF PICKS:Seventh Son by Johnny RiversBruce's staff pick features Rivers performing an R&B song written by Willie Dixon, originally performed in 1955 by Willie Mabon. Rivers recorded this as the lead track for his album, "Meanwhile Back at the Whisky a Go-Go." It's supposed to be lucky to be the seventh son, or seventh sister, or seventh child, and this single went to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words) by Tony BennettRob features crooner Tony Bennett's cover of the song originally entitled "In Other Words," and performed by Kay Ballard in 1954. The most famous version would be Frank Sinatra's in 1964, which would get some boost in popularity from its association with NASA's Apollo program. Down in the Boondocks by Billy Joe RoyalJohn's staff pick is a story about a guy from the wrong side of town who falls for a girl from the "right" side of time. Billy Joe Royal was born in Valdosta, Georgia, and raised in Marietta, Georgia, and this would be his biggest hit.I Like It Like That by The Dave Clark FiveWayne closes out the staff picks with a "British Invasion" group who were competitors with The Beatles at the time. While the Beatles would move into the stratosphere of popularity as the sixties moved on, The Dave Clark Five would decline. COMEDY TRACK:Wooly Bully by the Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs This novelty song became a staple of college frat parties across the land and for decades since its inception.
On December 7th, 1958 the Martin family headed out to the Columbia River Gorge to gather items for their Christmas decorations. The family consisted of Kenneth Martin, his wife Barbara Martin, and his three daughters; Barbara, Virginia, and Susan. What was supposed to be a day trip ended with the entire family missing. Their disappearance would launch one of the largest manhunt in Oregon's history at the time and would be considered one of Oregon's "most baffling" cases.

It was a Sunday afternoon in 1958 when Ken and Barbara Martin took a drive with their three daughters and never returned home. The facts point to a tragic accident. But they also point to the possibility of homicide. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Co-founder and co-spiritual director of Spiritual Arts Institute, Dimitri Moraitis is one of the leading metaphysical teachers in the world. Originally trained in motion pictures and television, Dimitri was pursuing a promising career in directing and producing, having received an Academy Award nomination for his film short Don't Let It Bother You. When he was twenty-five, Dimitri had a profound spiritual awakening that changed his life. About a year later, he met his co-founder Barbara Martin at a dinner party and knew that night Barbara was the spiritual teacher he had to study with. With Barbara, he is co-author of the international bestseller Change Your Aura, Change Your Life, Communing with the Divine, Karma and Reincarnation, The Healing Power of Your Aura and their newest book Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution, the subject of this week's conversation.
When we think of heaven and the hereafter, we think of the moment when we die. Yet the Great Beyond is so much more, for Heaven is the foundation to our spiritual unfoldment here in the physical life. It is our master key to the spiritual mysteries. Metaphysics teaches that we do not go to heaven just because we have been a good person; rather, we grow to heaven through the gradual, majestic process of spiritual evolution. To become a citizen of heaven, we must first unfold all that we can become. Like grades in school, as we unfold who and what we really are as a soul, step-by-step, we grow spiritually. Mystics call this spiritual growth our ascent. Heaven and Your Spiritual Evolution: A Mystic's Guide to the Afterlife & Reaching Your Highest Potential, co-authored by Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis , inspires us to make our spiritual path a stronger priority in our lives. Based on Barbara's fifty years of direct clairvoyant experience, she and Dimitri take us on an extraordinary journey through the many spiritual dimensions that exist in the hereafter. They show us a clear picture of what our spiritual growth is all about, what the road to heaven looks like, and how it is the destiny of every soul to eventually reach this spiritual pinnacle. The reader will learn effective meditative exercises with Divine Light to help increase awareness of the spiritual realms and our own potential as a human soul. By connecting with the spiritual worlds, we can unlock our creative potential and accelerate our spiritual growth. Discover the evolutionary process of growing into heaven worlds and our ultimate destination. Learn what various spiritual realms are like, including the astral, mental, etheric and the heavenly dimensions. Find answers to questions like “What will life be like in the hereafter? How do we love? Do my actions here really determine what my life will be in the hereafter? What happens to my talents and accomplishments? Are there cultures, governments, and societies on the other side? Do we see our Loved ones? Do we see God?” Beautifully illustrated with ten full-color drawings by fine artist Jonathan Wilshire, the breadth and splendor of the spiritual worlds come vividly to life in this beautiful book...one we will want to treasure for the rest of our earthly existence. Dimitri Moraitis the co-founder and co-spiritual director of Spiritual Arts Institute (SAI) in Encinitas, CA (www.spiritualarts.org). An illumined metaphysical teacher, healer and co-author of numerous books (see Barbara Martin above), Dimitri is also the co-creator, with Barbara, of the SAI programs, course curriculums and numerous workshops. Dimitri has been instrumental in bringing Spiritual Arts Institute to the place it is today as a premier metaphysical school. An eloquent speaker on a wide variety of spiritual topics, he has lectured across the country, appeared on numerous radio shows, and leads, with Barbara, the workshops and training classes offered at the Institute.

When most of IKEA's global retail locations closed temporarily during the pandemic, e-commerce became the cornerstone of the business. This near overnight shift was possible, in part, thanks to a digital transition that was already several years underway, one of the biggest in the company's 78-year-history. Barbara Martin Coppola, an alum of Google and Samsung, was hired in 2018 as the company's first-ever Chief Digital Officer to lead this transition, using data and technology to modernize everything from IKEA's supply chains, to its stores to the way its staffers work. In this episode, Coppola shares the leadership lessons she's learned and why she believes in resilience and “stubborn optimism.” She also shares and the experiences that have prepared her to tackle big challenges including early music studies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It is sadly common for one person to disappear, but an entire family? Ken and Barbara Martin and their three youngest children vanished on a Christmas outing. It took days to realize they were gone and months for the first solid clues to arise, but we still do not know what happened to the Martin Family.
After a two month hiatus, the TBD podcast is back and better than ever with an energy-filled interview with Ms. Martini, one of Pioneer's Spanish teachers. We discuss what it was like to grow up in a large Italian family, the origins of her teaching principles, and what happened behind the scenes for teachers over the summer.
Episode one hundred and sixteen of A History of Rock Music in Five Hundred Songs looks at “Where Did Our Love Go?” by the Supremes, and how the “no-hit Supremes” became the biggest girl group in history. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode. Patreon backers also have a ten-minute bonus episode available, on “She’s Not There” by the Zombies. Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by doing a first-pass edit, and will hopefully be doing so from now on. Check out Tilt’s irregular podcasts at http://www.podnose.com/jaffa-cakes-for-proust and http://sitcomclub.com/ —-more—- Resources As usual, I’ve created a Mixcloud streaming playlist with full versions of all the songs in the episode. For Motown-related information in this and other Motown episodes, I’ve used the following resources: Where Did Our Love Go? The Rise and Fall of the Motown Sound by Nelson George is an excellent popular history of the various companies that became Motown. To Be Loved by Berry Gordy is Gordy’s own, understandably one-sided, but relatively well-written, autobiography. Women of Motown: An Oral History by Susan Whitall is a collection of interviews with women involved in Motown. I Hear a Symphony: Motown and Crossover R&B by J. Andrew Flory is an academic look at Motown. The Motown Encyclopaedia by Graham Betts is an exhaustive look at the people and records involved in Motown’s thirty-year history. How Sweet It Is by Lamont Dozier and Scott B. Bomar is Dozier’s autobiography, while Come and Get These Memories by Brian and Eddie Holland and Dave Thompson is the Holland brothers’. And Motown Junkies is an infrequently-updated blog looking at (so far) the first 694 tracks released on Motown singles. Girl Groups by John Clemente contains potted biographies of many groups of the era. The Supremes biography I mention in the podcast is The Supremes by Mark Ribowsky, which seems factually accurate but questionable in its judgments of people.

Today, we’re going to look at the first big hit from the group who would become the most successful female vocal group of the sixties, the group who would become the most important act to come out of Motown, and who would be more successful in chart terms than anyone in the sixties except the Beatles and Elvis. We’re going to look at the record that made Holland, Dozier, and Holland the most important team in Motown, and that made a group that had been regarded as a joke into superstars. We’re going to look at “Where Did Our Love Go?” by the group that up until this record was known in Motown as “the no-hit Supremes”: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Where Did Our Love Go?”] The story of the Supremes starts, like almost every Motown act, in Detroit. Specifically, it starts with a group called the Primes, a trio who had grown up in Birmingham, Alabama, and then had moved to Cleveland, before moving in turn to Detroit. The Primes consisted of Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams, and Kell Osborne, and were gaining popularity around the city. But their act was lacking something, and their manager, Milton Jenkins, was inspired by Ray Charles’ backing vocalists, the Raelettes. What if, he thought, his male vocal group had a group of female backing singers, the Primettes? Stories vary about exactly how Jenkins pulled the group members together, including the idea that he literally stopped girls on the streets of the housing projects where the eventual members all lived. But what everyone seems to agree on is that Betty McGlown was dating Paul Williams, so she was an obvious choice. Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard knew each other and were good singers, especially Ballard, and they joined together, with Ballard becoming the new group’s leader. And nobody seems to be clear who asked Diana Ross to join, but she was invited in. Ross says she was already singing with the other three around the neighbourhood. Wilson insisted that they didn’t know her, and that she was brought in by Jenkins. While Ballard and Wilson were friendly enough, and all of them were from the same small area and so knew each other by sight, this wasn’t a group that came together as friends, but people who were put together by a third party. This would make a big difference to them over the years. Ross was probably introduced to the group because she already had a reputation among the people who were playing Detroit’s talent shows. For example there’s Melvin Franklin, who in the late fifties was singing with The Distants: [Excerpt: The Distants, “Come On”] Franklin was an old friend of Ross’ from school, and he would rave about Ross to his friends, so much so that Otis Williams, another member of the Distants (which would soon merge with the Primes to become the Temptations) knew Ross’ name long before he ever met her, and later remembered thinking “Jesus, this girl must be something special.” So Jenkins would have known about Ross through these connections. Incidentally, before we go any further, I should mention the issue of Diana Ross’ name. At this point, she was mostly known by the name on her birth certificate, Diane, and that’s how many people who knew her in this period still refer to her when talking about the late fifties and early sixties. However, she says herself that her parents always intended to name her Diana and the person filling in the birth certificate misspelled it, and she’s used Diana for many decades now. As a general rule on this podcast I always refer to someone by the name they choose for themselves unless there’s a very good reason not to, and so I’m going to be referring to her as Diana throughout — and later when we talk about the Byrds, I will always refer to Roger McGuinn, and so on. It’s difficult to talk about Diana Ross in any sensible way, because she is not a person who has inspired the greatest affection among her colleagues, or among people writing about her. But almost all the negative things said about her have a deep undercurrent of misogyny. One of the biographies I used for researching this episode, for example, in the space of four consecutive sentences in the introduction, compares her face to that of ET, says she looked “emaciated and vacant” (and this is a woman who suffered from anorexia), talks about how inviting her mouth is and her “bedroom eyes”, and then talks about how she used her sexuality to get ahead. You will be shocked, I am sure, to hear that this book was written by a male biographer. Oddly, the books I’m using for the upcoming episodes on Manfred Mann and the Beach Boys don’t talk of their lead singers in this way… In particular, there is a recurring theme in almost everything written about Ross, which criticises her for having affairs with prominent people at Motown, most notably Berry Gordy, and accuses her of doing this in order to further her own ambitions. That sort of criticism is rooted in misogyny. This is not a podcast that will ever deal in shaming women for their sexuality, and what consenting adults do with each other is their business alone. I would also point out that Ross’ affair with Gordy is always portrayed as ethical misconduct on Ross’ part, but *if* there was anything unethical about their relationship, the fault in a relationship between a rich, powerful, married man in his thirties and his much younger employee is unlikely to have been due to the latter. That’s not to say that Ross is flawless — far from it, as the narrative will make clear — but to say that it’s very difficult, when relying on reportage either from people with personal grudges against her or from writers who take attitudes like that, to separate the real flaws in the real woman from the monster of the popular imagination. But that’s all for later in the story. At this point, Ross was merely one of four girls brought together by Jenkins to form the Primettes – but Jenkins soon realised that this group could be better used as a group in their own right, rather than merely as backing vocalists for the Primes. At this point, early on, there was no question but that Florence Ballard was the leader of the group. She had the most outspoken personality, and also had the best voice. When Jenkins had asked to hear the girls sing together, all the others had just looked at each other, while she had burst out into Ray Charles’ “Night Time is the Right Time”: [Excerpt: Ray Charles, “Night Time is the Right Time”] That would become a staple of the girls’ early act, along with “The Twist” and “There Goes My Baby”. All of the girls would take lead vocals on stage, but Florence was the first among equals. At that time, indeed, Ballard thought that Ross should not be a lead singer at all, but Ross got very angry at this, and kept working at her vocals, trying to get them more commercial and make better use of her more limited voice. Ballard was a natural singer, who sang passionately in a way that apparently blew audiences away with relatively little effort, because she was singing from the heart. Ross, on the other hand, was a calculated performer who was deliberately trying to gain the audience’s popularity, and was improving with every show as she learned what worked. The combination worked, at least for a time, though the two never got on even from the start. Of the other members, Mary Wilson was always the peacemaker, someone who was so conflict-averse she would find a way to get Florence and Diana to stop fighting, no matter what. Meanwhile, Betty was the least interested in being in a group — she was just doing it as a favour for her boyfriend. And finally, there was a fifth member, Marvin Tarplin, who didn’t sing but who played guitar, which made them one of the few vocal groups in the city who had their own accompaniment. Fairly quickly, Franklin dropped out of management — he spent some time in hospital, and after getting out he just never got back in touch with the girls — and the Primettes took over looking after themselves. There are various stories about them being approached by different people within Motown at different points, but everyone agrees that their first real contact with Motown came through Ross. Ross had, a year or so before the group formed, been friendly with Smokey Robinson, on whom she had a bit of an adolescent crush. Knowing that Robinson was now recording for Motown, she got in touch with him, and he made a suggestion — her group should audition for him, and if he thought they were good enough, he’d get them an appointment with Berry Gordy. The group sang for Robinson, who wasn’t hugely impressed, except with their guitarist. So Robinson made a deal with them — he’d get the girls an audition for Motown, if he could borrow their guitarist for a tour the Miracles were about to do. They agreed, and Robinson’s temporary borrowing of Tarplin lasted fifty years, as Tarplin continued working with Robinson, both in the Miracles and on Robinson’s solo records, until 2008, and co-wrote many of Robinson’s biggest hits. But Robinson kept his word, and the girls did indeed audition for Berry Gordy, who was encouraging but told them to come back after they had finished school. But two other producers at Motown, Richard Morris and Robert Bateman, decided they weren’t going to wait around. If Berry Gordy didn’t want to sign them yet, they’d get the Primettes work with other labels. Morris became their manager, and they started getting session work on early recordings by future soul legends like Wilson Pickett: [Excerpt: Wilson Pickett, “Let Me Be Your Boy”] And Eddie Floyd: [Excerpt: Eddie Floyd, “I am Her Yo-Yo Man”] The group also eventually got to put out their own single. The A-side featured Ross on lead: [Excerpt: The Primettes, “Tears of Sorrow”] While the B-side had Wilson singing lead, but also featured a prominent high part from Ballard: [Excerpt: The Primettes, “Pretty Baby”] Shortly after this, several things happened that would change the group forever. One was that Betty decided to leave the group to get married. She had never been as committed to the group as the other three, and she was quickly replaced with a new singer, Barbara Martin. The other, far more devastating, thing was that Florence Ballard was raped by an acquaintance. This traumatised Ballard deeply, and from this point on she became unable to trust anyone, even her friends. She would suffer for the rest of her life from what would now be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder, and while it’s likely that the later problems between her and Ross would have occurred in some form, the way they occurred was undoubtedly affected by the fact of Ballard’s untreated mental illness as a result of this trauma. After refusing to speak to anyone at all for a couple of weeks, Ballard managed to get herself well enough to start singing again, and then only a few days later Richard Morris was arrested for a parole violation and found himself in prison. With all these devastating changes, many groups would have given up. But the Primettes were ambitious, and they decided that they were going to force their way into Motown, whether Berry Gordy wanted them or not. They took to hanging around Hitsville, acting like they belonged there, and they soon found themselves doing minor bits of work on sessions — handclaps and backing vocals and so on, as almost everyone who hung around the studio long enough would. Eventually they got lucky. Freddie Gorman, who was the girls’ postman in his day job and had not yet written “Please Mr. Postman”, had been working on a song with Brian Holland, and the girls happened to be around. Gorman suggested they try the song out, to see what it sounded like with harmonies, and the result was good enough that Holland and Gorman called in Gordy, who tinkered with the song to get his name on the credits, and then helped produce the session: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “I Want a Guy”] That came out under the name The Supremes, with a Berry Gordy song on the B-side, a knock-off of “Maybe” by the Chantels called “Never Again”. How the group got their new name has also been a subject of some dispute, in part because of legal issues later on, as Florence Ballard tried to claim some intellectual property rights in the group name as the one who had chosen it. Everyone involved has a different story about how the name was chosen, but it seems to be the consensus that Ballard did pick the name from a shortlist, with the dispute being over whether that shortlist was of names that the group members had come up with between them, or whether it was created by Janie Bradford, and whether Ballard made a conscious choice of the name or just picked it out of a hat. Whatever the case, the Primettes had now become the Supremes. The problem was that Berry Gordy wasn’t really interested in them as a group. Right from the start, he was only interested in Diana Ross as an individual, though at least at first all the members would get to take lead vocals on album tracks — though the singles would be saved for Diana. With one exception — after the group’s first single flopped, they decided to go in a very different direction for the second single. For that, Gordy wrote a knock-off of a knock-off. In 1959 the Olympics had had a very minor hit with “Hully Gully”: [Excerpt: The Olympics, “Hully Gully”] Which had been remade a few months later by the Marathons as “Peanut Butter”: [Excerpt: The Marathons, “Peanut Butter”] Gordy chose to rework this song as “Buttered Popcorn”, a song that’s just an excuse for extremely weak double entendres, and Florence got to sing lead: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Buttered Popcorn”] That was no more successful than “I Want a Guy”, and that would be the last time Florence Ballard ever got to sing lead on a Supremes single. It would also be the last single the Supremes released as a four-piece. While Barbara Martin had recorded some material with the group that would be released later, she became pregnant and decided to leave the group. Having decided that they clearly couldn’t keep a fourth singer around, the other three decided to continue on as a trio. By this time, Motown had signed the Marvelettes, and they’d leapfrogged over the Supremes to become major stars. The Supremes, meanwhile had had two flops in a row, and their third did little better, though “Your Heart Belongs to Me”, written and produced for them by Smokey Robinson, did make number ninety-five in the charts. That was followed by a string of flops that often did, just, make the Hot One Hundred but didn’t qualify as hits by any measure — and many of them were truly terrible. The group got the nickname “the no-hit Supremes” and tended to get the songs that wouldn’t pass muster for other groups. Their nadir was probably the B-side “The Man with the Rock & Roll Banjo Band”, a song that seems to have been based around Duane Eddy’s “Dance With the Guitar Man”: [Excerpt: Duane Eddy, “Dance With the Guitar Man”] But instead of the electric guitar, the Supremes’ song was about the banjo, an instrument which has many virtues, but which does not really fit into the Motown sound: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “The Man with the Rock and Roll Banjo Band”] This sort of thing continued for two years, with the Supremes now being passed in chart success not only by the Marvelettes but also by the Vandellas, who also signed to Motown after them and had hits before. The “no-hit Supremes” at their best only just scraped the bottom of the Hot One Hundred, no matter who produced them — Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland, Clarence Paul, Berry Gordy, and Smokey Robinson all had multiple attempts at recording with the group, because of Gordy’s belief in Ross’ star potential, but nothing happened until they were paired with Holland, Dozier, and Holland, fresh off their success with the Vandellas. The musical side of the Holland/Dozier/Holland team had already worked with the group, but with little success. But once Holland/Dozier/Holland became a bona fide hit-making team, they started giving the Supremes additional backing vocal parts. They’re in the vocal stack, for example, on Marvin Gaye’s extraordinary “Can I Get a Witness”: [Excerpt: Marvin Gaye, “Can I Get a Witness”] The first song that Holland, Dozier, and Holland wrote as a team for the Supremes is very different from the heavy, soulful, records they’d specialised in up until that point. Lamont Dozier has said that when he came up with the idea for “When the Lovelight Starts Shining in His Eyes” he was thinking of Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, although it’s unlikely he was actually thinking of Wilson, who at this point in 1963 was still making rather garagey surf-rock records rather than the symphonic pop he would start to specialise in the next year. Which is not to say that Holland, Dozier, and Holland weren’t paying attention to Wilson — after all, they wrote “Surfer Boy” for the Supremes in 1965 — but Dozier is probably misremembering here. It’s entirely plausible, though, that he was thinking of Spector, and the song definitely has a wall of sound feel, albeit filtered through Motown’s distinctly funkier, non-Wrecking-Crew, sound, and with more than a little Bo Diddley influence: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes”] That also featured additional backing vocals from the Four Tops, another group with whom Holland, Dozier, and Holland were working, and who we’ll be hearing more of in future episodes. “When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes” went to number twenty-three, the first bona fide hit the Supremes had ever had. So they were set. They even had a surefire smash follow-up. With Holland, Dozier, and Holland they’d recorded *another* Phil Spector knock-off, *before* “Lovelight”, a record modelled on “Da Doo Ron Ron”, titled “Run Run Run”, but they’d held it back so they could release it next — they decided to release a record that sounded like a medium-sized hit first, to get some momentum and name recognition, so they could then release the big smash hit. But “Run Run Run” only went to number ninety-four. The group were at a low point, and as far as they could tell they were only going to get lower. They’d had their hit and it looked like a fluke. The big one they’d had hopes for had gone nowhere. The story of their next single has been told many ways by many different people. This is a version of the story as best I can put it together, but everything that follows might be false, because as with so much of Motown, everyone has their own agenda. As best I can make out, Holland, Dozier, and Holland were working on tracks for a proposed Marvelettes album and came up with a simple, stomping, song based on a repetitive eight-bar verse, with no bridge, chorus, or middle eight. The Holland brothers disagree about what happened next, and it sounds odd, but Lamont Dozier, Mary Wilson, and Katherine Anderson of the Marvelettes all say the same thing — while normally Motown artists had no say in what songs they recorded, this time the Marvelettes were played a couple of backing tracks which had been proposed as their next recording, and they chose to dump the eight-bar one, and go instead with “Too Many Fish in the Sea”: [Excerpt: The Marvelettes, “Too Many Fish in the Sea”] The way Dozier tells the story, that presented Holland, Dozier, and Holland with a problem. They’d recorded the backing track, and one of the many ways that Motown caused problems for its creative workers was that they would be charged against royalties for studio time. If the track didn’t get released, they’d lost all the money. So they turned to the Supremes, and Dozier tried to persuade Mary Wilson that he’d written this great new song, just for them, they’d love it, but by this point they’d already talked to the Marvelettes and been told about this dreadful song they’d managed to get out of doing, and advised to avoid it if they could. But while the Marvelettes were a big, successful group, the Supremes weren’t yet, and didn’t have any choice. They were going to record the song whether they liked it or not. They didn’t like it. Having already been poisoned against the song by the Marvelettes, there were further problems in the studio because one of the production team had originally told Mary Wilson she could sing lead on the song. Everyone seems agreed that Brian Holland insisted on Diana Ross singing it instead, but Eddie Holland remembers that he thought that Wilson should sing and it was Brian and Dozier who insisted on Ross, while Dozier remembers that *he* thought that Wilson should sing, and it was the Holland brothers who insisted on Ross. Somehow, if all these memories are to be believed, Brian Holland outvoted his partners one to two, possibly because Berry Gordy had declared that Ross should be the lead singer on all Supremes singles. Mary was devastated, while Ross was annoyed that she was having to sing what she thought was a terrible song, in a key that was much lower than she was used to. She got more annoyed when Eddie Holland kept coaching her on how he wanted the song sung — she was playing with the phrasing and Holland insisted she sing it straight. Eventually she started threatening to get Gordy to come down, at which point Eddie told her that she could do that, but then Gordy could just produce the session and they needn’t bother hoping for any more Holland/Dozier/Holland songs. She sang through her lead putting as little emotion as she could into her voice, while glaring daggers at the producers, before storming off as soon as she’d completed the take they wanted, complaining about being given everyone else’s leftovers: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Where Did Our Love Go?”] Holland, Dozier, and Holland then got on with trying to get the other two Supremes to do the backing vocal parts. But the parts Lamont Dozier had come up with were difficult, nobody was in a good mood, and Mary Wilson was still upset that she wasn’t going to be singing lead. They couldn’t get the vocals down, and eventually, frustrated, Dozier told them to just sing “baby baby” when he pointed, and they went with that. Towards the end of the session, Ross came back in, with Berry Gordy, who she had clearly been complaining to about the song. He asked to hear it, and they played back this recording that nobody was happy with. Gordy, much to Ross’ shock, was convinced it was a hit, and said to them “Cheer up, everybody! From now on, you’re the big-hit Supremes!”: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Where Did Our Love Go?”] Motown was in a bit of a slump at that point — several of the label’s big stars had had disappointing follow-ups to their hits, and they’d just lost Mary Wells, one of their biggest stars, to another label. Gordy decided that they were going to give “Where Did Our Love Go?” a huge push, and persuaded Dick Clark to put the Supremes on his Caravan of Stars tour. When the record came out in June, they were at the bottom of the bill, opening the show on a bill with more than a dozen other acts, from the Zombies to the Shirelles to Freddie “Boom Boom” Cannon above them. By the end of the tour, their record was at number one in the charts and they had already recorded a follow-up. As “Where Did Our Love Go?” had included the word “baby” sixty-eight times, the production team had decided not to mess with a winning formula: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Baby Love”] That went to number one by the end of October 1964, making the Supremes the first Motown act to have two number ones. There would be a lot more where that came from. But there was already trouble brewing in the group. Even on the Dick Clark tourbus, there were rumours that Diana Ross wanted a solo career, and there was talk of her forcing Florence Ballard out of the group. We’ll look at that, and what happened with the Supremes in the latter part of the sixties in a few months’ time. But I can’t end this time without acknowledging the sad death, a month ago today, of Mary Wilson, the only member of the Supremes who stayed with the group from the beginning right through to their split in 1977. For a member of a group who were second only to the Beatles for commercial success in the sixties, she was underrewarded in life, and her death went underreported. She’ll be missed.

There are various stories about them being approached by different people within Motown at different points, but everyone agrees that their first real contact with Motown came through Ross. Ross had, a year or so before the group formed, been friendly with Smokey Robinson, on whom she had a bit of an adolescent crush. Knowing that Robinson was now recording for Motown, she got in touch with him, and he made a suggestion -- her group should audition for him, and if he thought they were good enough, he'd get them an appointment with Berry Gordy. The group sang for Robinson, who wasn't hugely impressed, except with their guitarist. So Robinson made a deal with them -- he'd get the girls an audition for Motown, if he could borrow their guitarist for a tour the Miracles were about to do. They agreed, and Robinson's temporary borrowing of Tarplin lasted fifty years, as Tarplin continued working with Robinson, both in the Miracles and on Robinson's solo records, until 2008, and co-wrote many of Robinson's biggest hits. But Robinson kept his word, and the girls did indeed audition for Berry Gordy, who was encouraging but told them to come back after they had finished school. But two other producers at Motown, Richard Morris and Robert Bateman, decided they weren't going to wait around. If Berry Gordy didn't want to sign them yet, they'd get the Primettes work with other labels. Morris became their manager, and they started getting session work on early recordings by future soul legends like Wilson Pickett: [Excerpt: Wilson Pickett, "Let Me Be Your Boy"] And Eddie Floyd: [Excerpt: Eddie Floyd, "I am Her Yo-Yo Man"] The group also eventually got to put out their own single. The A-side featured Ross on lead: [Excerpt: The Primettes, "Tears of Sorrow"] While the B-side had Wilson singing lead, but also featured a prominent high part from Ballard: [Excerpt: The Primettes, "Pretty Baby"] Shortly after this, several things happened that would change the group forever. One was that Betty decided to leave the group to get married. She had never been as committed to the group as the other three, and she was quickly replaced with a new singer, Barbara Martin. The other, far more devastating, thing was that Florence Ballard was raped by an acquaintance. This traumatised Ballard deeply, and from this point on she became unable to trust anyone, even her friends. She would suffer for the rest of her life from what would now be diagnosed as post-traumatic stress disorder, and while it's likely that the later problems between her and Ross would have occurred in some form, the way they occurred was undoubtedly affected by the fact of Ballard's untreated mental illness as a result of this trauma. After refusing to speak to anyone at all for a couple of weeks, Ballard managed to get herself well enough to start singing again, and then only a few days later Richard Morris was arrested for a parole violation and found himself in prison. With all these devastating changes, many groups would have given up. But the Primettes were ambitious, and they decided that they were going to force their way into Motown, whether Berry Gordy wanted them or not. They took to hanging around Hitsville, acting like they belonged there, and they soon found themselves doing minor bits of work on sessions -- handclaps and backing vocals and so on, as almost everyone who hung around the studio long enough would. Eventually they got lucky. Freddie Gorman, who was the girls' postman in his day job and had not yet written "Please Mr. Postman", had been working on a song with Brian Holland, and the girls happened to be around. Gorman suggested they try the song out, to see what it sounded like with harmonies, and the result was good enough that Holland and Gorman called in Gordy, who tinkered with the song to get his name on the credits, and then helped produce the session: [Excerpt: The Supremes, "I Want a Guy"] That came out under the name The Supremes, with a Berry Gordy song on the B-side, a knock-off of "Maybe" by the Chantels called "Never Again". How the group got their new name has also been a subject of some dispute, in part because of legal issues later on, as Florence Ballard tried to claim some intellectual property rights in the group name as the one who had chosen it. Everyone involved has a different story about how the name was chosen, but it seems to be the consensus that Ballard did pick the name from a shortlist, with the dispute being over whether that shortlist was of names that the group members had come up with between them, or whether it was created by Janie Bradford, and whether Ballard made a conscious choice of the name or just picked it out of a hat. Whatever the case, the Primettes had now become the Supremes. The problem was that Berry Gordy wasn't really interested in them as a group. Right from the start, he was only interested in Diana Ross as an individual, though at least at first all the members would get to take lead vocals on album tracks -- though the singles would be saved for Diana. With one exception -- after the group's first single flopped, they decided to go in a very different direction for the second single. For that, Gordy wrote a knock-off of a knock-off. In 1959 the Olympics had had a very minor hit with "Hully Gully": [Excerpt: The Olympics, "Hully Gully"] Which had been remade a few months later by the Marathons as "Peanut Butter": [Excerpt: The Marathons, "Peanut Butter"] Gordy chose to rework this song as "Buttered Popcorn", a song that's just an excuse for extremely weak double entendres, and Florence got to sing lead: [Excerpt: The Supremes, "Buttered Popcorn"] That was no more successful than "I Want a Guy", and that would be the last time Florence Ballard ever got to sing lead on a Supremes single. It would also be the last single the Supremes released as a four-piece. While Barbara Martin had recorded some material with the group that would be released later, she became pregnant and decided to leave the group. Having decided that they clearly couldn't keep a fourth singer around, the other three decided to continue on as a trio. By this time, Motown had signed the Marvelettes, and they'd leapfrogged over the Supremes to become major stars. The Supremes, meanwhile had had two flops in a row, and their third did little better, though "Your Heart Belongs to Me", written and produced for them by Smokey Robinson, did make number ninety-five in the charts. That was followed by a string of flops that often did, just, make the Hot One Hundred but didn't qualify as hits by any measure -- and many of them were truly terrible. The group got the nickname "the no-hit Supremes" and tended to get the songs that wouldn't pass muster for other groups. Their nadir was probably the B-side "The Man with the Rock & Roll Banjo Band", a song that seems to have been based around Duane Eddy's "Dance With the Guitar Man": [Excerpt: Duane Eddy, "Dance With the Guitar Man"] But instead of the electric guitar, the Supremes' song was about the banjo, an instrument which has many virtues, but which does not really fit into the Motown sound: [Excerpt: The Supremes, "The Man with the Rock and Roll Banjo Band"] This sort of thing continued for two years, with the Supremes now being passed in chart success not only by the Marvelettes but also by the Vandellas, who also signed to Motown after them and had hits before. The "no-hit Supremes" at their best only just scraped the bottom of the Hot One Hundred, no matter who produced them -- Lamont Dozier and Brian Holland, Clarence Paul, Berry Gordy, and Smokey Robinson all had multiple attempts at recording with the group, because of Gordy's belief in Ross' star potential, but nothing happened until they were paired with Holland, Dozier, and Holland, fresh off their success with the Vandellas. The musical side of the Holland/Dozier/Holland team had already worked with the group, but with little success. But once Holland/Dozier/Holland became a bona fide hit-making team, they started giving the Supremes additional backing vocal parts. They're in the vocal stack, for example, on Marvin Gaye's extraordinary "Can I Get a Witness": [Excerpt: Marvin Gaye, "Can I Get a Witness"] The first song that Holland, Dozier, and Holland wrote as a team for the Supremes is very different from the heavy, soulful, records they'd specialised in up until that point. Lamont Dozier has said that when he came up with the idea for "When the Lovelight Starts Shining in His Eyes" he was thinking of Phil Spector and Brian Wilson, although it's unlikely he was actually thinking of Wilson, who at this point in 1963 was still making rather garagey surf-rock records rather than the symphonic pop he would start to specialise in the next year. Which is not to say that Holland, Dozier, and Holland weren't paying attention to Wilson -- after all, they wrote "Surfer Boy" for the Supremes in 1965 -- but Dozier is probably misremembering here. It's entirely plausible, though, that he was thinking of Spector, and the song definitely has a wall of sound feel, albeit filtered through Motown's distinctly funkier, non-Wrecking-Crew, sound, and with more than a little Bo Diddley influence: [Excerpt: The Supremes, "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes"] That also featured additional backing vocals from the Four Tops, another group with whom Holland, Dozier, and Holland were working, and who we'll be hearing more of in future episodes. "When the Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes" went to number twenty-three, the first bona fide hit the Supremes had ever had. So they were set. They even had a surefire smash follow-up. With Holland, Dozier, and Holland they'd recorded *another* Phil Spector knock-off, *before* "Lovelight", a record modelled on "Da Doo Ron Ron", titled "Run Run Run", but they'd held it back so they could release it next -- they decided to release a record that sounded like a medium-sized hit first, to get some momentum and name recognition, so they could then release the big smash hit. But "Run Run Run" only went to number ninety-four. The group were at a low point, and as far as they could tell they were only going to get lower. They'd had their hit and it looked like a fluke. The big one they'd had hopes for had gone nowhere. The story of their next single has been told many ways by many different people. This is a version of the story as best I can put it together, but everything that follows might be false, because as with so much of Motown, everyone has their own agenda. As best I can make out, Holland, Dozier, and Holland were working on tracks for a proposed Marvelettes album and came up with a simple, stomping, song based on a repetitive eight-bar verse, with no bridge, chorus, or middle eight. The Holland brothers disagree about what happened next, and it sounds odd, but Lamont Dozier, Mary Wilson, and Katherine Anderson of the Marvelettes all say the same thing -- while normally Motown artists had no say in what songs they recorded, this time the Marvelettes were played a couple of backing tracks which had been proposed as their next recording, and they chose to dump the eight-bar one, and go instead with "Too Many Fish in the Sea": [Excerpt: The Marvelettes, "Too Many Fish in the Sea"] The way Dozier tells the story, that presented Holland, Dozier, and Holland with a problem. They'd recorded the backing track, and one of the many ways that Motown caused problems for its creative workers was that they would be charged against royalties for studio time. If the track didn't get released, they'd lost all the money. So they turned to the Supremes, and Dozier tried to persuade Mary Wilson that he'd written this great new song, just for them, they'd love it, but by this point they'd already talked to the Marvelettes and been told about this dreadful song they'd managed to get out of doing, and advised to avoid it if they could. But while the Marvelettes were a big, successful group, the Supremes weren't yet, and didn't have any choice. They were going to record the song whether they liked it or not. They didn't like it. Having already been poisoned against the song by the Marvelettes, there were further problems in the studio because one of the production team had originally told Mary Wilson she could sing lead on the song. Everyone seems agreed that Brian Holland insisted on Diana Ross singing it instead, but Eddie Holland remembers that he thought that Wilson should sing and it was Brian and Dozier who insisted on Ross, while Dozier remembers that *he* thought that Wilson should sing, and it was the Holland brothers who insisted on Ross. Somehow, if all these memories are to be believed, Brian Holland outvoted his partners one to two, possibly because Berry Gordy had declared that Ross should be the lead singer on all Supremes singles. Mary was devastated, while Ross was annoyed that she was having to sing what she thought was a terrible song, in a key that was much lower than she was used to. She got more annoyed when Eddie Holland kept coaching her on how he wanted the song sung -- she was playing with the phrasing and Holland insisted she sing it straight. Eventually she started threatening to get Gordy to come down, at which point Eddie told her that she could do that, but then Gordy could just produce the session and they needn't bother hoping for any more Holland/Dozier/Holland songs. She sang through her lead putting as little emotion as she could into her voice, while glaring daggers at the producers, before storming off as soon as she'd completed the take they wanted, complaining about being given everyone else's leftovers: [Excerpt: The Supremes, “Where Did Our Love Go?”] Holland, Dozier, and Holland then got on with trying to get the other two Supremes to do the backing vocal parts. But the parts Lamont Dozier had come up with were difficult, nobody was in a good mood, and Mary Wilson was still upset that she wasn't going to be singing lead. They couldn't get the vocals down, and eventually, frustrated, Dozier told them to just sing "baby baby" when he pointed, and they went with that. Towards the end of the session, Ross came back in, with Berry Gordy, who she had clearly been complaining to about the song. He asked to hear it, and they played back this recording that nobody was happy with. Gordy, much to Ross' shock, was convinced it was a hit, and said to them "Cheer up, everybody! From now on, you're the big-hit Supremes!": [Excerpt: The Supremes, "Where Did Our Love Go?"] Motown was in a bit of a slump at that point -- several of the label's big stars had had disappointing follow-ups to their hits, and they'd just lost Mary Wells, one of their biggest stars, to another label. Gordy decided that they were going to give "Where Did Our Love Go?" a huge push, and persuaded Dick Clark to put the Supremes on his Caravan of Stars tour. When the record came out in June, they were at the bottom of the bill, opening the show on a bill with more than a dozen other acts, from the Zombies to the Shirelles to Freddie "Boom Boom" Cannon above them. By the end of the tour, their record was at number one in the charts and they had already recorded a follow-up. As "Where Did Our Love Go?" had included the word "baby" sixty-eight times, the production team had decided not to mess with a winning formula: [Excerpt: The Supremes, "Baby Love"] That went to number one by the end of October 1964, making the Supremes the first Motown act to have two number ones. There would be a lot more where that came from. But there was already trouble brewing in the group. Even on the Dick Clark tourbus, there were rumours that Diana Ross wanted a solo career, and there was talk of her forcing Florence Ballard out of the group. We'll look at that, and what happened with the Supremes in the latter part of the sixties in a few months' time. But I can't end this time without acknowledging the sad death, a month ago today, of Mary Wilson, the only member of the Supremes who stayed with the group from the beginning right through to their split in 1977. For a member of a group who were second only to the Beatles for commercial success in the sixties, she was underrewarded in life, and her death went underreported. She'll be missed.
As girl groups emergiram no final da década de 1950 como um grupo de cantoras que cantavam músicas escritas por um grande time de compositores, em 1959, The Primettes um quarteto americano, formado por Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, Betty McGlown e Mary Wilson, que ficou trio em 1962 e viraram The Supremes, formado por Ballard, Ross (cantora líder) e Wilson que foi um dos grupos de garotas mais famoso mundialmente até 1977, e esse foi um grupo com muitas substituições, como McGlown por Barbara Martin, Ballard ser substituída por Cindy Birdsong, Ross por Jean Terrell e etc. Mary Wilson foi a única a ficar até o final sendo cantora original desde 1959.Nos anos 70 e início dos anos 80 teve uma profusão de grupos de disco, new wave e pop dance.No final dos anos 80 e também nos anos 90 surgiram os grupos de estilo pop manufaturado e às vezes fabricado (escolhiam as garotas para fazer parte de um grupo como por exemplo as Spice Girls) e os gêneros musicais mais conhecidos nessa época eram o teen pop e o R&B. Um dos grupos mais populares da época foi o TLC que se tornou o grupo feminino que mais vendeu na história da música nos E.U.A.

This episode takes us back to the 1950's. We discuss the disappearance of the Martin family who vanished on December 7th, 1958 in the Columbia River Gorge. The families eldest sone, Donald Martin, was in the Navy and stationed in New York during this time. The Martin family decided to take a day trip to gather some Christmas decorations. They were seen getting gas around 4 pm in Cascade Locks. The gas station owner, Dean Baxter, stated he saw the Martin family continue East after filling up their 1954 Ford Country Squire. The family was spotted again at a restaurant about 20 miles from Cascade Locks. This was the last time anyone has seen or heard from the Martin family. It was later reported that two ex convicts were seen leaving the restaurant at the same time as the Martin family. In February 1959 a volunteer searcher found tire tracks leading off of a cliff near The Dalles. The tire tracks that were found were reported to have matched the tires on the Martin family vehicle. On May 3rd Susan Martins body was found in the river near Camas, Washington. This was about 70 miles West of The Dalles where the tire tracks were found. One day later they located Virginia's body near the Bonneville Dam which is roughly 46 miles from The Dalles. Kenneth Martin (father), Barbara Martin (mother) and Barbie Martin (oldest daughter) still remain missing to this day and their vehicle has not been found.

Barbara Martin and Dimitri Moraitis discuss their book Communing With the Divine: A Clairvoyant's Guide to Angels, Archangels, and the Spiritual Hierarchy.
Communing with the Divine: A Clairvoyant's Guide to Angels, Archangels and the Spiritual Hierarchy. In an age of social conflict, technological advancement and widespread disillusionment, it’s difficult to find something to believe in. Too often, we let everyday stresses and concerns distract us from connecting with the universe at large. The result? Persistent negative personal energy, loss of faith in the Higher power and spiritual isolation. Tonight we’re focusing on the sacred art of Theophany – communication with angels and the Divine – an increasingly prominent topic in pop culture as seen on the popular Bravo show The Long Island Medium and Bio’sPsychic Investigators. You CAN reconnect to the Divine. You CAN gain a great understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. You CAN find clarity in your purpose on this earth as well as how you evolved and where you are headed. Fascinating . . . Enlightening . . . Thought Provoking

As an animal communicator my desire is to bring animals and people to a closer understanding of each other so that they can fully enjoy their relationship. When I read the book "Kinship With All Life" by Allen J. Boone about 11 years ago, I was instantly struck by a passion to talk to animals, and have them talk to me, the way that Allen described in his book. Since I thought I had to be a guru or a gifted psychic in order to have the intuitive ability to communicate, I hesitated to pursue my desire to talk to animals. A few months later I noticed other books on the subject and read more. I learned that many of the people who communicated with animals had been taught through workshops and practice. When I took my first workshop I was hooked. I was already able to communicate with animals. Over the years I have refined my skills though workshops and practice sessions. I have assisted many people to understand the simple needs and joys of their animal friends. Coming from 16 years in the computer industry in Management positions to my current position as an Animal Communicator at a Healing Center has been a great experience. I truly love this work and I have learned a deeper level of compassion and respect for our animal friends and for their people. http://animalcommunicationplus.com/
