Considered to be among the best acts in the MoTown Records label, “The Supremes” had a huge impact on the music scene in the 1960s and 1970s. As they embraced a more feminine visual and audible style, “The Supremes” desired to show that black performers were as classy and sophisticated as white singers. Contributions that “The Supremes” have made to the music industry have been acknowledged with several Grammy Award nominations, while some of their songs made it to Grammy Hall of Fame, as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “The Supremes” influenced such popular female groups as “Destiny’s Child”, “The Pointer Sisters”, “The Emotions” and “TLC”.
