Steve,
I don't care what anybody says. Of the SUPREMES...Diana Ross was the only one with "STAR" quality. Anybody could see that.
Florence had a big voice and could sing very well. But she wasn't "DISTINCTIVE".
I dare anyone to put on Diana Ross record and say that there's someone else who sounds like her. Nobody does.
As well...Ross exuded incredible charisma and personality and DRIVE that the others lacked. She shared Gordy's determination to shout down the sky.
Therefore, he RIGHTLY put her where she belonged---UP FRONT.
It's also no secret that he was madly in love with her at one time (the beginning) and greatly seduced by her---Diana told the other girls during one of their first auditions for Motown before they even graduated high school: "I'm going to get him".
She was really my kinda girl.
