Hi! I first discovered The Supremes in 1964 when I was listening to my transistor radio in Maryland and I heard Where Did Our Love Go? for the first time. From that moment I was a fan for life. That's why I've started this blog. And I welcome you and thank you for coming by!

Bad Weather, The Supremes



"Bad Weather" was a song recorded and released as a single by Motown vocal group The Supremes in 1973. It was composed and produced by Stevie Wonder. The song was then-lead singer Jean Terrell's last charted single as a member of the Supremes and the second and last time brief group member Lynda Laurence was featured on a Supremes single.When the song was first issued to radio in the summer of 1973, the song caught some initial positive buzz mainly from the Supremes' R&B fan ...base. The group performed it to a receptive audience on Soul Train. But the buzz wore down as, according to Mary Wilson years later, it wasn't a favorite of Terrell's or Laurence's. The song charted on the Billboard charts peaking at number 87 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 74 on the R&B singles chart. The song only peaked at the Top 40 of the UK singles chart at number 37. Shortly after this single was released, Terrell and Laurence left the Supremes. Cindy Birdsong returned from her maternity leave, and Mary Wilson hired Scherrie Payne as the new co-lead singer. The next Supremes project would take two more years to come out. In 1975, the group released the disco single "He's My Man" with Wilson and Payne on lead. The third Stevie Wonder connection posted today sung by others.
