This leaves Diana Ross as the only surviving original Supreme. :-\\

So sad.
The Supremes were a part of my younger days of listening to pop music.

Only two members in the history of the band have passed away. Florence Ballard was the other.

Founding member Betty McGowan also died, in 2008.
The four founding members of the group were Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, and Betty McGowan, who formed The Primettes.
When The Primettes were re-billed as Diana Ross & the Supremes, Betty was replaced by Barbara Martin, who passed away last year.
Far as I can tell, all of the other vocalists who performed in DRATS are all still with us, so it’s possible that Diana could put together a tribute tour.

Point of trivia... Diana Ross’s proper first name is “Diane” but the boys at the birth certificate department screwed up and entered her as “Diana” on the document. Throughout her childhood and into early adulthood, she referred to herself as “Diane”. When DRATS hit it big, she started referring to herself as Diana. To this day her close friends refer to her as “Diane”.
Kinda similar to an athlete in my hometown who lived across the street from some friends of mine. When he was growing up and attending high school, he pronounced his name as “Tony Dorsit’. Once he achieved gridiron fame, he suddenly became “Tony Dor-Sette”.

Thanks for that info; I looked on Wiki to see if I could find a list of all the group's members and count how many were deceased; I guess I forgot Betty.
