Summary: Serious collectors? yes. Casual Supremes fan? No.
Review: (Note: I would actually give this book two and half stars!) Mr Wilson's book was actually his thesis for the university he was attending, and frankly, it reads like it. Stiff and academic. I was mostly disappointed because while he dug up a few rarely heard quotes from Flo from Detroit papers and the documents from the legal struggles she went through after her departure from the group, he really isn't covering anything that hasn't been said before in other books. And said better too. The book has an interesting selection of pictures, but they are grainy and hard to look at, which would have been a major redeeming factor. I wag a tsk tsk finger at the editor and proofreader of the book for an assortment of editing errors that should not have seen print. This book comes off more like a high-end 'zine than a book. If you are a Supremes completist, then Yes, by all means you need to have this book. But if you are a casual fan, stick to Mary Wilson's biographies or the numerous other books available about this wonderful group.

Summary: SUPREMELY BLONDIE
Review: Hi, I read the book and I have learned some stuff I never knew that Flo went through after leaving the Supremes.
I think it should have included photos of her parents and siblings.I give it 4 stars because it had some mis information and some of the photos are hard to see. I still recommend this book for the die hard Flo and Supremes fans.
Now maybe by the power of god,Flo's story can be made into a movie, cause it has been long enough.
Well hopefully not any longer or too long. Pick up this book today, you'll be glad you did for Flo is Heavenly a Supreme Angel.

Summary: Forever Faithful. A Study of Florence Ballard by Randall Wil
Review: Short and to the point, this book was originally a thesis and it does come across in thesis/report-like format. However, it's very insightful and informative about Florence Ballard with her life before, during and after the Supremes. The content in this book is very thorough, yet the photos view the same as newspaper prints, very grainy. Aside from this, it's very much a must-have for the serious fan and/or collector of The Supremes. A discography is also included at the end of the book.

Summary: Forever Faithful. A Study of Florence Ballard by Randall Wil
Review: Thank you Randall for a book that appropriately takes sensationalism out of the life story of Florence Ballard, nearly 30 years after her death. So many authors try to "up" sales by "embellishing facts". That you chose to put out a book from a thesis makes it all the more credible for me and I write this at a time when I am only half way through it! That she is still "writable about" is testimony to the major contribution she played in developing the "Supremes" distinctive sound within the overall sound of "Motown". A sober and accurate writer. Thanks!!

Summary: Florence Foerver
Review: This book is an interesting stab at making the lengendary Supreme look less pathetic. The author did a good job in deliverying the facts about Florences exit from the Supremes and her downard spiral in life. But I feel Diana Ross was right when she sated in the 70's that she wanted to just shake Florence and say get your f-ing life together.
