Always the "Need" to verify the success of The Supremes' Recordings in contest with Diana Ross' Recordings?

"Right On" is not a fully developed Supremes' Album as some of the recordings were done with Jean Terrell as s soloist; that is why the Andantes were used for background. Jean Terrell was never contracted as a Supreme; she was contracted as a soloist. This has been part of the "Public Domain" as stated. In fact, both Wilson and Birdsong were, also, contracted as soloists not as members of The Supremes.

"Right On" was mildly successfu; it was not, a well selling album, as it only sold 255,000 albums. Diana Ross' debut Album sold over 500,000 albums. The only true selling Recordings by The Supremes, post Diana Ross were "Up The Ladder To The Roof" and "Stoned Love." They were the only two top 10 recordings. Not one Supremes' Albums sold anywhere near 500,000 copies even in aggregate. "Stone Love" sold 2,400,000 worldwide. Yes, they were somewhat successful from February 1970 through "Floy Joy," April of 1972. Aftermath, they simply did not matter, either on Billboard or to the average record buyer.

These continued references to the initial success of The Supremes prior to Diana Ross' "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is an insult to History and the facts. Only a disenfranchised Supremes' Fan would equivocate The Supremes' success with Diana Ross once "ANMHE" hit the charts.
