Who REALLY Had the Best Voice in The Supremes? All 7 Lead Singers Ranked (#1 Was Buried)

Diana Ross wasn’t the best voice in The Supremes… and the woman who was got only ONE single to herself. 🎤 We ranked all 7 women who ever sang lead on a Supremes record, from Cindy Birdsong to Florence Ballard, and told the true story behind one song for each. Stay to #1, because it’s not who Motown taught you to love. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Cold Open: Who Really Had the Best Voice? 0:45 #7 Cindy Birdsong – “Your Wonderful, Sweet Sweet Love” 4:30 #6 Mary Wilson – “Early Morning Love” 8:15 #5 Susaye Greene – “High Energy” 12:00 #4 Scherrie Payne – “I’m Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking” 16:00 #3 Jean Terrell – “Stoned Love” 19:45 #2 Diana Ross – “Where Did Our Love Go” 23:30 #1 Florence Ballard – “Buttered Popcorn” 27:15 Final Thoughts 🔥 IN THIS VIDEO How the “no-hit Supremes” turned a song the Marvelettes rejected into a #1 Why Berry Gordy reportedly didn’t want Jean Terrell, and who saved her job The voice that was added to a record AFTER it was finished The Supreme who left the group right before her big lead moment The voice Motown kept in the background, and why people who stood beside her say it was the best 🎧 Note: Lynda Laurence also sang with the Supremes, but she never recorded a lead at Motown, so she isn’t on this list.
