When:

Short story:

The Supremes open at The Copacabana, New York, USA, signalling a new era for Motown Records as its artists move into the exclusive supper-club circuit.

Full article:

Edwin Starr [Motown artist) : At Motown, there was a class system – The Supremes were royalty and I was carrying the buckets. But I never got that treatment from Mary (Wilson of The Supremes]. It came from the Motown label owner, Berry Gordy, and others in the management of the company.

In fact, I do recall that Mary and Florence (Ballard, The Supremes] were easier to get on with and talk to than Diana (Ross). It was still just The Supremes but it was very obvious Diana was going to go solo.
