Florence Ballard actually started The Supremes as she was the first of the original lineup discovered. She was also the one who picked the name "Supremes".
During her time as a Supreme, especially when they were at their peak in the mid-60s, Florence was often reduced to just backup calling along with Mary Wilson while Diana took the leads.
On occasion, Florence, who had the strongest and most soulful voice out of all the Supremes, did sing an occasional lead on a song from a Supremes album and, in the early days of their success, she covered the song "People" in nightclubs.
She was also known as the funniest Supreme, because she was great with one-liners. She was also generally the friendliest with others as she often talked with fans more than her fellow groupmates.
Florence Ballard and Diana Ross had a complicated relationship, especially after Ballard was replaced in The Supremes. While Ballard expressed feelings of betrayal and hurt, she also spoke about wanting to move on from the past. In later years, there were indications that Ballard might have found some level of peace, but definitive public statements about forgiveness remain unclear. Their relationship was marked by both personal and professional complexities, which makes it difficult to ascertain a clear resolution.
