The Supremes
The Supremes were an American vocal group from Detroit, the most commercially successful act of the Motown era.
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard defined the group's signature sound, producing twelve number-one hits including "Stop!
In the Name of Love" and "You Can't Hurry Love." The name is sometimes used allusively for any dominant trio: Those three run the department—they're the Supremes.
