Looking Supremely stunning in their full length outfits - featuring an outstanding black velvet ensemble and a beautiful bronzed shimmering evening gown. As expected, their presence lit up the stage!
In true Surpeme fashion, the shows had all the traits of 60's Motown, the songs, the dance routines and performances that high lighted their professionalism. The audiences were dancing, and grooving in their seats - often singing along - their appreciation displayed with encores and a wonderful standing ovation in Sydney.
The Supremes - Motown's iconic female group, earned the accolades of the world with their reign on the music charts during the 60's and 70's.
A native of Philadelphia, Lynda started singing at the age of four under the guidance of her father Ira Tucker - lead singer of the legendary Dixie Hummingbirds gospel quartet. She started her association with Motown by recording with Stevie Wonder and was featured on the hit "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)." Lynda continued to record and tour with Stevie for several years as manager and lead vocalist of his backing band. Some of her other musical associations include James Brown, Joe Cocker, Ringo Starr and Harry Hilsson. A talented musician and singer, Lynda, like Scherrie, is also featured on all of The Supremes numerous hits collections. "Our association with The Supremes is synonymous" commented Lynda.
A talented writer and performer, she was discovered by famed producer Eddie Holland (Holland/Dosier/Holland) when he heard her singing with her sister Freda Payne. Before joining The Supremes, Scherrie was lead singer of the group Glass House and is featured on all of their hits for the Invictus label including "Crumbs Off the Table." She recorded for Motown as a solo artist during the 80's and had her own hits including "I'm Not In Love" and "One Night Only." Scherrie has worked with many major stars including George Benson and Jose Feliciano. Known affectionately as the "little lady with the big voice," she brought her superb vocals and electric stage presence to The Supremes in 1973 and very quickly established herself as a firm favorite with the group's legions of fans worldwide. Scherrie is featured on every one of The Supremes' Greatest Hits collections issued around the world, and continues to authentically perform as a Supreme - keeping the group's music and image alive. Scherrie and Lynda's trio have performed alongside a host of other legendary Motown acts including:The Temptations,The Four Tops,Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, & have toured extensively with James Brown, The Three Degrees and Sister Sledge.
