@@letusreason3554 That relationship caused many problems with the three Supremes. Diane figured she was sleeping with the boss, and her demands became even greater. Whatever she asked Berry to do as far as the group went, he did it. Let me give just one example. Telling the cameramen to keep the cameras on Diane all the time. They went on Flo and Mary so quickly, if you blinked you missed them. Turning Flo and Mary's mics down. The list is endless.
@Damo Trent ... she manipulated him. When he made the Wiz, he wouldnt let Miss Ross play Dorthy, because she was too old. But Diane went over Berry's head to the other producers. And they put her in the movie as a 14 year old Dorothy. It ruined the movie.
@yandrsupreme But she still loved Barry !Poor Bob was a substitute because Barry wouldn't divorce his wife and marry her (for what ever reason) . She got tired of being strung along as his other woman.
@yandrsupreme yes he sure was. But she didn't want a tall hunk of a man . She wanted Barry Gordy a short , non fit. Slightly older African American man.😊
@Alain Quartermaine oh yes sweetie ALL filthy lies were laid to rest with the publication of Mary Wilson's bombshell tell-all Dreamgirl My Life As A Supreme
Their loving relationship is one of the most EPIC in music history, and I'm really happy that its full depth has been explored in this show! When tears began to well up in Mr. Gordy's eyes when he spoke about losing Miss Ross, I mean, c'mon! It doesn't get any more real than that.

The show was great when I saw it late 2014 ... the best performance was by the young actor portraying Michael Jackson. If I had closed my eyes, I would have thought I was hearing a live video of Michael from 1970.
@@punkanellylovejoy702 It really was. One of the highlights of the show. The cast really brought to life the spirit of the music, the personalities, the drag, all of it.
Yes Gordy make it clear for the jealous haters. No one will ever be able to tell it better than u did. She was his muse. He Loved her, valued her talent n hard work n was sad when she left. if u 'naives' couldn't open ur craniums to understand it then. i don't expect u to understand it now. Lets face it, such a fascinating romance and rise to stardom is above ur level of comprehension.
@@jacquelineferguson6598 Rub your eyes and get out of bed now sweetie. You were just having a nice and wonderful dream. Time to get up out of bed now. The bus will be here any minute to take you to school. But why is that bus so damn short girl? Can't they get some longer ones. It's always that short yellow one for some reason.
Wow what a lovely little romantic delusion of grandeur you have in your precious cranium Jackie darling. Ms Ross does not like anything that's black. Berry was simply for career gain. Sorry to be a grinch if you feel I'm trying to spoil your pretty little fantasy with the truth. But it's time to wake up .
I would love to see them get back together and spend their twilight years together and I don’t think I’m the only one. Wait, she’s widowed, what’s his status?
That would be the worst thing for them to do. To watch each other grow old and ugly in such close proximity to each other would in no way be a fantasy come true.
@Damo Trent you're full of shit, too many of those original Motown artists left Motown as broke as jokes, including the Wicked Witch herself. You need to stfu with your Trump-like (and just as easily fact checked) lies

Berry Gordy thanked Diana Ross... ok, I can buy that. But why didnt he thank his family? Some of his sisters and brothers worked at Motown, with little to no thanks. And they lent him 800 dollars to start Motown... and his sister showed him how to write music. Or how about Holland -Dozier-Holland, who wrote great great hits. He took HDH away from Martha Reeves, and gave them and their hits to snake Diana.
I'm sure he has thanked his family many, many times; he just did not do it in this particular film clip. It could have easily been edited out as well. It's all good.
@@FranPett ... yes, some his family worked for him. But they had to produce. In his autobiography he tells of this. And before Motown, Gordy worked with and for his older sister when she had her music publishing company... thus, it was truly a family affair.
@Alain Quartermaine The girl has a name, but that's just Ms Ross way of thinking, she never introduces her band and backgrounds singers full names, just thier First, but she's the typical Aries, no tea, no shade, just a fact. And I adore Ms Ross 💞💜
Diana ross & Berry gordy are still in love with each other it's obvious cause there is nothing like black luv. Even though she was married to white men she still had that luv & desire for Barry gordy the black king to her heart. Black luv is powerful. Luv it!
@@ah7910 The fact that you actually support the actions of the wicked witch of Motown should make you wanna puke BEFORE spotting any comment I might have left anywhere sweetie 😁
2:28 / 2:29 Diana's eye rolls show how silly and cartoonish she likely thinks this show portrays her. Look at Gordy's controlling mug while she talks almost as if he knows she finds the portrayal silly and self indulgent on his part. They over exaggerate the real Supremes, Ross and Motown in general. It comes off like the Brady Bunch singing "It's a Sunshine Day" rather than a real classy cool record and star generator that it was back in the day. They did not need to turn it into a non stop jumble jangle of cute Christmas songs. It's yucky and embarrassing displayed like Clown Fair. Poor Ross must be secretly mortified by this. I would be!
Mary Wilson was there opening night. Lots of photos online with Mary and Diana and Berry but she doesn't appear in this video. That's how Gordy made his artists feel.
@Kirby Kipling Not at all is it contradictory. She always "publicly" makes a positive spin on negatives. She does it deliberately but you can tell she really is embarrassed by it. It was a flop and is no longer running. I saw it myself and thought it was very much like a play you would see performed by teenagers. Horrible.
Its so beatiful see how much Berry loves Diana! This love was the fuel for the amazing Motown! I wish i could see this musical
Diana was and is still Berry's inspiration...and muse. So special that relationship is....
