Drawing on firsthand, intimate recollections from knowledgeable sources such as the Temptations's Otis Williams and other Motown contemporaries,many never before interviewed, The Supremes is a comprehensive look at the tumultuous relationships within the Supremes as well as among others at the Motown label" ( Library Journal ).

Review :
Music Media Monthly, 5/10/10 "If you cherish the memory of songs like 'Stop! In the Name of Love,' 'Baby Love' and 'You Keep Me Hangin' On,' you'll want to read all about the back story and intrigues that made The Supremes the best of Motown's R&B and Soul groups of its day...A great read." Barnstable Patriot, 6/4/10 "[A] saga of supremely talented, yet sordid, lives. This is a dishy, dirty look at Berry Gordy and the trio of ghetto girls who he made stars...A tale as harrowing as it is nasty, this roller-coaster ride will finally tell you exactly where the love went." The TMR Zoo, 6/15/10 "A much needed 440 page book on one of the greatest 'girl groups' of all time...Ribowsky-very wisely-keeps the history front and center...What the author has done here is no small achievement. He's managed to put a solid document together of this incredible hit machine, and bring the humanity of each individual involved to center stage...Ribowsky handles all of the bad and the good with objectivity and diplomacy...Highly recommended." Neworld Review, August 2010
