"#FLOSFRIDAY - On Friday's we look back at the 36 year history and legacy of The Former Ladies of The Supremes, we call it #FLOSFRIDAY!
Today we are looking back to May 0f 2015 when the Former Ladies of The Supremes' Scherrie Payne & Lynda Laurence, with Joyce Vincent, performed in Winterthur, Switzerland at the "Legends On Stage" Festival with Dennis Edwards' Temptations Revue. "This tour started in Brussels, Belgium. We flew from Belgium to Switzerland, the morning of the 2nd show. When we arrived in Switzerland we collected our luggage and discovered that our Costume bags had not arrived. We were assured by the airline that they would find our bags and have them to us before showtime that evening. We checked in to the hotel, had a light lunch, then had a soundcheck at the venue.....still no word from the airline! We only had 3 hours till show time so we decided that we had better figure sometime out. Eric Iversen & Steve Weaver hit the streets of Winterthur to find suitable stage wear. Unfortunately there was only 1 ladies wear shop open, and the only item they had 3 of was white flowing jackets. Using these 3 tops and items from our personal luggage we were able to coordinate a unified look, but no one was happy with it! LOL! As the say "THE SHOW MUST GO ON." The audience was enthralled with our performance, and we explained our lost gowns situation to them. The lost luggage finally arrived to the hotel at 4:00 am! We departed at 8:00 am for the next stop on the tour. Thankfully our gowns were not lost again!"- Former Ladies of The Supremes #Memories #TheShowMustGoOn #FormerLadiesOfTheSupemes #FLOS36 #KeepTheMusicPlaying former #Supremes #ScherriePayne #LyndaLaurence #JoyceVincent - Click on the thumbnail images below to view the full sized images.

Then there were two occasions while on a European tour with the Three Degrees that the Degrees gowns arrived late so the had to wear outfits borrowed from Scherrie, Lynda & Freddi - and then (during the same tour) Scherrie, Lynda & Freddi had to wear a set of 3 Degrees outfits. I have the video.
