| The supremes were way ahead of my time (I'm 33), however as a child I was always drawn to them. I read Mary Wilsons books about them as a teenager & thought "Well why didn't Ms.Flo just sing out & step out during a live show or why didn't Ms. Mary stand up for Ms.Flo & herself rather than just being quiet".Years later I read the book again & just figured that it would be an even bigger issue if either of them would've done anything. I also read book by a man that claims to be her friend (Anthony "Tony" Turner)at the age of 23, that book was on fire, honey it was funny & sad at the same time. Reading his book just made me want to learn more about her. I've read the book 3 times & talked about it so at the time to where I had 5 friends borrow the books needless to say the last person to borrow the book let someone else borrow it & the story of "Lady Flo" continues to be read. I think that the family members & friends should present Lady Flo's story to VH1 so that an overall enterview can be done about her which could possibly turn into a movie offer from VH1 or another director ---this is a great time to do it with the fact that Jaimie Fox just won an Oscar for Ray Charles---I want her story to be on screen so bad---I really feel the MS. Flo & Ms. Mary were jipped. Comment on this... |
