This is a story you don't want to miss.
#FLORENCEBALLARD
She had the voice!!! It was pretty powerful and She was beautiful.
Florence Glenda Ballard (June 30th, 1943 - February 22nd, 1976) was drop dead GORGEOUS, PERIOD!!!
Gordy went at Florence first but she rejected him. That's why he hated her.
I will forever love Florence Ballard ❤👑🙏🏽 she definitely didn't deserve the bad treatment she got from Diana Ross and Berry Gordy Florence Ballard was the face& voice of the supremes period! Although she is gone her legacy will forever be cherish and always ❤ long live Blonde 👑👑👑
🎯🎯❤❤❤
What did Diana Ross do besides sing lead and have a child with Barry? Florence had a beautiful voice and who cares where you sing in a group you are making money right?
@@carolyncruse5495Florence cared and complained and got herself kicked out of the group, but people love to blame Diana for Flo's life
In Karmic debts you never know who is paying who.
I don't know why everyone keeps denying that Dreamgirls isn't based on the Supremes. It's so obvious.
They are blind because everything points to the supremes especially the pic getting off the plane that was actually a pic they took fro an album called Liverpool in 1965
Agree‼️⭐⭐⭐
🎉Rest in peace, and 81st birthday wishes to Florence Ballard 6. 30. She was a talent lost too soon, by unfair circumstances. Ms Ballard chose the name, "Supremes" after she was asked to start a girl group. She chose her best friend, Mary Wilson, and later Diana Ross was included. The Supremes will always be so. Rest in Respect
Florence Ballard was so Gorgeous ❤🙏🏽 may God forever rest her soul motown did her dirty just know karma doesn't have no expiration day period! Her& mary are in heaven singing together again😢
The truth shallll.....make us all FREE
-See that, just give up some azz to the boss & it's a 50/50 that you will move up to bigger things. Even passing over the real better ones left behind. Florence, rip. ❤
He favored Ross because he was laying with her‼️😠
See
Ur so right
Florence Ballard had a beautiful, soulful voice. However, Diana Ross's voice was more commercial.
CONTINUOUSLY LAYING DOWN "THE PIPE!!!"
How do you know that?
Berry gordy akways favored Diana Ross
he sure certainly did all were complaining
about the favoritism! he was showing her
Her voice is perfection. I have favorites and the whole group was good But sometimes there is one that just blows us away. The whole package.
-A Sad reminder of how giving up some azz to the boss can sometimes lead to big things fir you. Even overshadowing the more deserving ones. ,,,Florence, rip. ❤
@@Savadorason1 it is sad for her. Diana voice is beautiful and she would not sell out concerts at her age or ever without it.
What happen to her husband,,her daughters dad after Flo's death???
RIP. Simply the best Supreme 😢
That's the wrong picture of Paul Williams of the Primes. The Paul that's pictured was a musician but not the Primes member.
Smdh. ..
no he didnt say where florences mother still resides that lady is not still living get out of here
Exactly😂
Its a video here on YT with Florence's daughters getting evicted out of their grandmother's home. The home their mother brought for her mother. Meaningful things that meant alot to them was out on the curb in the middle of winter. It was sad.
I heard a story that Diana showed up to her funeral late, walking up the center aisle and sat up front so that everyone could see her. Is that true?
She showed up in a fur coat that everyone was jealous of and yes she sat up front Diana gave her children money and also lent Mary money many times. People just because Poor Flo had troubles do not blame Diana for it.
@@carolyncruse5495everything we’ve heard about Diana may not be true but I doubt everything is lies. Ross did a lot of backstabbing and dirty deeds to get to the top.
@@SJ-ni6iy Diana did not stop anyone from singing. There are plenty of singers out here that just do not make it. She had a bum man stealing from her. She was an alcoholic. I hate that her life was cut short but all this talk about Diana is really sad. No matter what if you got it you got it if you don’t you dont that does not make her any less human. It means she did not make it. All those siblings of hers could not even save her home even to this day. Now that is Sad. I feel for everyone involved.
@@carolyncruse5495 Diana slept her way to the top and did some shady things, like stealing other act’s gowns. Don’t even get me started on Dirty Diana.

Is was an *excellent* story on the life of Florence Ballard. I had no idea that she reportedly had a strong voice, needing no microphone. Another stunner is that she was the core of the group. Lastly, I am amazed at not only how beautiful she was, but how she got played by Diana Ross as Diana became the lead. I'm glad Mary was in her corner, but Ms. Ross has lost credibility with me of which was rocky anyway for what she did to Gladys Knight. Rest in Paradise to Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.
This is why don't help a friend get a job where you work. They will come in and get you fired then take your position.
I personally feel that actress, "ERICA PEEPLES" of "THE TRUE TO THE GAME" trilogies, ALSO A MICHIGAN NATIVE would be A GREAT FIT to portray "FLO."
U know Diana Ross slept her way through the industry...,more then ppl know❤️🩹⭐🥀
Reggie Harding trash
I was always told he, (BG) had a violent streak. I wish she would have left Detroit for Philadelphia. There, Thom Bell, or Kenneth Gamble & Leon Huff could have saved this precious woman. It makes me nauseous as Hxll, hearing how xssholes w/power treat ladies. Karma can be a bxtch paying them back in the end, and quite often, IS!
Or.....
Besides Gamble and Huff....
If he had lived SOUL LEGEND, SAM COOKE might have invited Flo to join his new upcoming label, SARS RECORDS as A SUCCESSFUL SOLO ARTIST of the 70s and the 80s.
Maybe she was repaying Karma to D.Ross karma works both ways.
A super sad life. Mary said Florence was raped by someone she thought was a friend and really never recovered, even with her fame.
What has happened to Florence Ballard children
Im friends with one of her daughters. I can say that she is doing very well. Don't know the others.
@@UnckelDonny1Det Oh that is great to hear. Is one of the daughter's you are friends with based in Detroit
And Fu. Berry Gordy, because he was the one who had control of all of them , and he didn't even help bury the woman!!!

Its moTown not mo Down!
Wrong picture of paul William
Of course none of her records outside of mowtown wasn't going to do anything berry blackballed her so of course she never got her music career off the ground much like David Ruffin and Eddie Kendricks Ed got some rise because keep on truck'en and intimate friends were the shiiii... it was requested and sold very well and also mary Wilson her supreme's never quite went anywhere to far she and her supreme's had to be booked and go on the road that's how she made it through kept her a float neither one of them got what someone else got but Mary managed to stay a float I don't believe Florence Ballard or Paul William's passed away like it was reported I don't believe it there's more to those stories berry is 94 all the stealing and low down shi.. he's done I wonder have to braced himself for his judgment? because he's definitely going to be under judgement he has to answer for all his dirty work
My mom didn't like Diana Ross.
Now I see why because Diana Ross and the other lady could have given her some money to get by instead of letting her house go into foreclosure and her applying for welfare. So what happened with her three children?
I'm sure there's something I can find out about them. Florence was so young. She was just beginning to live and she passed away. This is a sad story but I'm glad I came across it and decided to look at it.
~~REST IN ~~ PARADISE MS. QUEEN FLORENCE BALLARD 💓💫💥🫶🏽🙏🏽
Diana wrote a check for 30,000 dollars to save her house but was told by Florence's husband to make out the check in his name, & he spent every penny on dope, whiskey & cheap women & made Florence lose her home. This is one time Diana Ross did the right thing but it backfired.,😵
Diana gave money and just because you know someone does not mean you owe them anything. This is so crazy.
@@davidbetsey2437 thank you !
@@davidbetsey2437I heard Florence was too paranoid to cash the check plus Diana should’ve known better
Reggie must feel like dog poo. I hope he got saved.
People die of heart disease at every age. It’s not uncommon and it’s been happening since humans hearts started beating. ♥️
Not everything is a huge conspiracy.
So many inaccuracies
This is wrong half truth w more lies
These are my 2 favorites Mary and BLONDE I didn't care for DR HER voice was so whiney and nasal eyes popedour like an owl Maey was so gorgeous and beautiful soul she had life light and love for fans and admirer DR was never my fav Florence was a doll she had so much her family were good ppl she was tied up w men that mistreated her badly
They said Berry made her the lead because her voice was more commercial
Her daughters are beautiful young ladies got no royalties from the records sold as a Supreme DR did help financially she was generous to do it I'll give her the ok DR of course she was battling alcoholism herself alledgely fame seemingly isn't what it appears to be contracts aren't good and do not give the whole truth from what I've heard alledgedly a death clause fame of this kind I do not chase after just enjoy those who did get theirs many gone that were so gifted to sing act being what was tgeir way to bring money to themselves and families not many had any left of course the drugs alcohol addictions they were introduced to had negative outcomes in the end suspicious untimely death just unimaginable tragedies beyond that they had me whole thinking of fame has changed no ty
Her daughter Nicole said in an interview that they now receive royalties
It was infuriating hearing excuses made for the rapist and his terrible behavior.. there were many people that had an even harder road than him and didn’t turn out to be degenerate rapist scumbags 🙄😠
WOW
Right on
