Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Barbara Martin, One of the Original Supremes


BARBARA MARTIN, 76

Died 4 March 2020

Replaced Betty McGlown in the Primettes in 1960.  She joined Primette members Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.  The name was changed to the Supremes.

Barbara Martin only sang on a few early Supreme songs that did not become hits.  When she left in early spring, the group continued on as a trio.

She sang on the group's first album "Meet the Supremes" but her picture is not on the cover.
