Mark Ribowsky to call in to Soap Box, Friday July 2, 2010

Joe Viglione
Correspondent

SUPREMES BIOGRAPHER TO CALL IN TO SOAP BOX

Mark Ribowsky's 2000 take on the creator of the Wall of Sound, "He's a Rebel: Phil Spector--Rock and Roll's Legendary Producer" was 368 pages, re-released in 2007 on Da Capo with 112 extra pages, new information since the tragic 2003 shooting of actress Lana Clarkson at Spector's residence.

Since that re-release Ribowsky has published a biography on The Supremes as well as Signed, Sealed, and Delivered: The Soulful Journey of Stevie Wonder. In September the third installment of his Motown trilogy, Ain't Too Proud to Beg: The Troubled Lives and Enduring Soul of the Temptations, will be published by Wiley.

Ribowsky will be calling in to Wincam's SOAP BOX this Friday, July 2nd, to discuss his books.

REVIEW:
The Supremes, a Saga of Motown Dreams, Success and Betrayal is a much needed 440 page book on one of the greatest “girl groups” of all time, some say the ultimate girl group. And it would be hard to disagree with that thought as Diana Ross and The Supremes were everpresent on the radio in the 60s and – unlike Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Doors and The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the group was able to continue to have hits after the lead singer – in this case Berry Gordy’s focus, Diana Ross – left the group. Sure AC/DC survived Ronald Belford “Bon” Scot’s “death by misadventure” (drinking) and other members coming and going…but does the general public know who lead vocalist Brian Johnson is by hearing his name or AC/DC?

Mary, Flo, and Cindy have the “John, Paul, George, Ringo” effect, even though the singers-not-in-the-lead were downplayed by Motown. Even when Jean Terrell took over people still thought of it as Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong’s group. While the drama in the book is the Ross/Gordy relationship, Diana’s need to be a superstar and how the talents and egos of the team that made it happen – including, of course, the essential Holland, Dozier, Holland, Ribowsky – very wisely – keeps the history front and center, the made-for-tv shenanigans part of the history, but not as vital as the end result, the music.

Yes, the hardcore fans would like even more of the story, a bigger emphasis on the latter-day Supremes, but what the author has done here is no small achievement…he’s managed to put a solid document together of this incredible hit machine, and bring the humanity of each individual involved to center stage. Sure, a film could be made on each individual that was a major part of the Supremes, including Jean Terrell, but it is the story of the dreamgirls that is what the public craves most.

Flo Ballard’s passing is every bit as tragic as Phil Spector’s fall from grace, and Mark Ribowsky handles all of the bad and the good with objectivity and diplomacy. Now out in paperback it is highly recommended.
