Beauty Icons: The Supremes

"Great hair. Great Makeup. Great style — and of course, great voice. That is what The Supremes is all about."

The Supremes were an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, The Supremes were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and are, to date, America's most successful vocal group with 12 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Eschewing plain appearances and basic dance routines, The Supremes appeared onstage in detailed make-up and high-fashion gowns and wigs, and performed graceful choreography. The Supremes became the first black female performers of the rock era to embrace a more feminine image. [source]
