#FLOSFRIDAY - on Friday's we celebrate the 39 year history and legacy of The Former Ladies of The Supremes, we call it "F.L.O.S. FRIDAY." Today we are looking back to June 18th 2017, when The Former Ladies of The Supremes' Scherrie Payne & Lynda Laurence were joined by Joyce Vincent..............but not this night. "June 18th 2017 was an emotional night for us, for several reasons. Although not announced, we knew this was Lynda Laurence's farewell performance with The Former Ladies of The Supremes, so there was already an overwhelming feeling of sadness. Shortly after soundcheck Joyce Vincent became very ill backstage, and was taken to the hospital with food poisoning. This left Scherrie and Lynda to perform as a duo. With little time to prepare, changes were made to the show, and Scherrie and Lynda hit the stage. Being the true professionals that they are Scherrie and Lynda entertained the audience to a standing ovation finale. One of the highlights for me was watching the ladies hold hands as they performed their emotional rendition of "How Do You Keep The Music Playing." - Eric Iversen Scherrie and Lynda performed together for 31 years, and in 2024 Lynda returned to the trio, replacing Susaye Greene, who had replaced her in 2017. #GreatMemories #FormerLadiesOfTheSupremes #KeepTheMusicPlaying
