Florence Ballard | Interview: Being Fired/Replacement/Weight Issues (1975)

The founding member of the original and most popular line-up of The Supremes, Florence Ballard talks about her firing from the group, her weight and the pressure from Berry Gordy to lose weight. This is only a few minutes of 8 hours of interviews of Florence Ballard by author Peter Benjaminson who has written a new book on Flo released in 2008 entitled "The Lost Supreme: The Life of Dreamgirl Florence Ballard" which is heavily based on the interviews he recorded with her in 1975 only a few months before her untimely passing.
