An accredited screen/song writer, Scherrie Payne was originally discovered by legendary Motown producer/writer Eddie Holland (Holland/Dozier/Holland). Scherrie signed with Holland’s label, Invictus, and fronted their act, Glass House, who charted with the single, “Crumbs Off The Table,” written by Scherrie. It was because of her affiliation with The Holland Brothers and Lamont Dozier that Scherrie then became a member of The Supremes in 1973. Lead vocal sparks flew from Detroit born Scherrie Payne during 1973 to 1977 on the three final Supremes’ LPs. “He’s My Man,” “I’m Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking,” “You’re My Driving Wheel” & "Let Yourself Go" were the singles that Scherrie sang lead on in Motown’s closing chapter of The Supremes.
Scherrie is officially recognized as the act’s final lead vocalist and is known around the world as "The Little Lady With The Big Voice."
In 1986, Scherrie Payne, Lynda Laurence & Jean Terrell – all former Supremes – reformed and decided to start a new group. Their vision was to rekindle the glamour, style and music of The Supremes. The name for the trio was a natural evolution....
"The Former Ladies of The Supremes.” After Jean Terrell's departure in 1993 the trio continued and today they are joined by Joyce Vincent. While Joyce never performed officially with The Supremes, she was chosen to replace Mary Wilson in the trio before they officially disbanded in 1977. Joyce's credentials are indeed substantial. In the 1960's Joyce was a highly respected back-up singer, and even recorded backing vocals in Motown's famed Studio A! Joyce was born and raised in the Motor City, Detroit Michigan, and is most recognized as one of the original members of the renowned singing/performing group “Tony Orlando & Dawn.” She became an international celebrity in the early 70’s and collected three #1 records, 14 top 40 singles, and a hugely popular CBS-TV weekly variety program. Through her musical associations, Joyce has had the opportunity to perform and record with some of entertainment’s best including Dionne Warwick, James Brown, Isaac Hayes and many more!
The Former Ladies of The Supremes have performed live in concert and appeared on TV Shows throughout Europe, the Middle East and the Orient alongside such stellar acts as Tom Jones, James Brown, Sister Sledge, The Temptations, Martha & the Vandellas, The Four Tops, The Three Degrees and The Commodores, just to name a few. These international appearances have allowed the world to experience again the music, charm, and elegance of this timeless act on a grand scale. They have also released several popular albums in Europe, such as the fan favorite, “Supremely Yours.”
Scherrie counts among her favorite performances and venues – The Royal Albert Hall performance for the late Princess Diana, Wembly Arena, the QE2 Cruise ship, The Las Vegas Hilton and the European Woodstock. Diana Ross came backstage in 1998 at one of their Las Vegas performances, glowing with praise for their glamorous show and for keeping the Supremes legacy alive!
" In the Summer of 2000, Diana Ross and The Supremes began their “Return to Love” tour. The tour rolled out with Scherrie Payne, Lynda Laurence and Diana Ross as The Supremes trio.
In April of 2016 the ladies celebrated the 30th Anniversary of The Former Ladies of The Supremes with a special performance in Hollywood, CA. The ladies were presented with personalized trophies to commemorate their successful career after their standing ovation performance.
Joyce Vincent Wilson is best known as a singer with (Tony Orlando and Dawn). Wilson was featured on hit singles including "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)", "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree" and "Mornin' Beautiful".
Wilson had once been considered as a replacement in an official grouping of the Supremes following former member Mary Wilson's departure.
