January Jones-Sherrie Payne-The Supremes January Jones welcomes Tom Ingrassia and Jared Chrudimsky co-author's of When One Door Closes: Overcoming Adversity By Following Your Dreams sharing true life stories of people who have overcome insurmountable obstacles in order to live their dreams. Today's interview features Scherrie Payne, the co-lead singer of The Supremes 1973 to 1977. Because of her powerful voice and petite stature of only five-foot-two, she is sometimes referred to as “the little lady with the big voice.” As a new Supreme in an era when their popularity was waning, because reporters were still asking about Diana Ross. When she arrived, original Supreme Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong were the other two members of the group. Payne gained recognition for her vocals in “He's My Man” taken from the album The Supremes.

What an honor to have Mary Wilson and Tom Ingrassia on my show! Mary Wilson, who has died aged 76, was one of the original members of the Supremes, widely acclaimed as the ultimate Motown girl group and the only one to compete with the Beatles in the American charts. With the two other founders, Diana Ross and Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson – in many ways the most gracious of the trio – emerged from a housing project in Detroit in the late 1950s. As the Primettes, they released a handful of singles that all flopped. Rebranded the Supremes, they had their first hit with their 10th record, Where Did Our Love Go?, which topped the American charts in early 1964. Their follow-up, Baby Love, established them in Britain where it climbed to No 1 that November, toppling Sandie Shaw.

In this episode we invite former Disc (and Music Echo) reporter Caroline Boucher to reflect on her journey from the Gravesend & Dartford Reporter to The Observer's Food Monthly supplement — via a stint at Elton John's Rocket label. Barney, Mark & Jasper ask Caroline about being a female pop reporter in that very unwoke era, and press her for stories about her favourite L.A. freaks Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart.The Zappa theme leads into clips from not one but two audio interviews with Vince "Alice Cooper" Furnier, the first from August 1969 — when Alice signed to Frank's Straight label — and the second from exactly 20 years later, when Adam Blake talked to him about his new Trash album. Fond recall ensues of 'School's Out' and other Cooper classics.The conversation turns from freaky California weirdness to pompous English prog-rock, though Mark makes a compelling case for — and defence of — the 50-year-old Yes Album. The "team" pays its respects to the Supreme Mary Wilson, the jazz-fusing Chick Corea, Salsa godfather Johnny Pacheco and Byrds/Smiths biographer Johnny Rogan, after which Mark talks us through his library highlights from the previous fortnight and Jasper signs off with remarks on pieces about Halsey and Pharrell Williams.Many thanks to special guest Caroline Boucher; for more of her writing, visit her page on RBP.The Zappa documentary is streaming now on the altitude.film website and all major platforms from March.Pieces discussed: Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Burgers with Alice Cooper, Alice Cooper backstage, Alice Cooper audio, Yes, Yes, Yes, Mary Wilson, The Supremes, Chick Corea, Johnny Pacheco, Johnny Rogan, The Beatles live, Aretha Franklin, Nick Drake, Sunset Strip groupies, Evan Parker, Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, George Clinton, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Alan Douglas, Al Bell, Pharrell Williams and Halsey.

My mom was in her 20s in the 1960s, and Motown - be it Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell, Stevie Wonder or you name it - that was the music she’d have on the radio in the Detroit flower shop where she worked. When she had me years later, those same songs were installed in my heart as lullabies. Today’s episode honors founding Supreme Mary Wilson and tells some of her story. Her sudden passing at age 76 in her Henderson, Nevada home stunned Motown fans everywhere. She died of hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease - or, put more simply, high blood pressure caused by artery blockages. I’m going to focus on the news itself, how Mary Wilson made us feel and her impact. To help do that, I’m sharing parts of a candid conversation with her recorded by retired label executive Joe Smith in 1987. It is one recording among many that was donated as a collection by Smith to the Library of Congress, free to use and reuse with credit. There’s a citation link in the show notes and I encourage you to check out this treasure trove of American history. I also spoke with the knowledgeable Music historian and DJ Dan Austin. He is a founder of the Motor City Soul Club and the turntables he and his friends spin help keep the music alive for all generations to dance to with his Soul Stomp events at the Marble Bar.
