Hey there ((antceleb12)), I discovered this interview about a year ago and it does make me happy that we are able to hear certain things from Flo firsthand, yet sad at the same time  |

Yes indeed. For once, we can hear that she really disliked Gordy up until her death. However, we also find out she never wanted to leave the Supremes despite what Motown projected. I never believed what they said, but I was uncertain about Flo's feelings until I heard this treasure.  |

Thanks for sharing the interview. Finally we are hearing the words from the true Supreme Flo "Blondie" Ballard. I enjoyed hearing Flo speak from her heart.

It's hard to believe alot of things where Motown is concerned, which is why I hope alot of the remaining classic artists give us their memoirs asap ... it was sad listening to this interview, you can tell how much distress Gordy caused Florence ... he is very lucky that people still have good things to say about him  ... another great addition to the site ((antceleb12))  |

Yeah it pains me to see what Flo had to deal with concerning her and Berry. It's just sad.

What I still am dying to know is if Flo disliked Diane at the time of her death. I have read that she had a phone convo with Diane shortly before her passing, but then again it could be gossip. |

conc Something I never knew for sure was that Florence did want to stay. There have been certain pictures painted of her that give the impression she wanted out, when that was clearly not the case! And please do not get me started on the information regarding secret accounts  |

I have too, but the problem lies with the sources this comes from. However knowing what I do about Florence, I would believe she reached out to Diana |
