The Grammy Museum will explore the enduring legacy and influence of Motown Records’ premier recording artists with the unveiling of “Legends Of Motown: Celebrating the Supremes” on June 25.
The exhibit will offer visitors a unique look at the life and career of one of the most successful American singing groups of the 1960s, the Supremes, through rare artifacts from the private collection of founding member Mary Wilson.
On display on the museum’s third floor through spring 2016, the exhibit will feature rare photographs from the personal collection of Wilson; concert posters; tour books, fan memorabilia; and an assortment of performance gowns, including “Primette Pristine” gowns worn in 1961, one of the earliest sets purchased by the Supremes when they were still known as the Primettes.
“We’ve been eager to feature an exhibit celebrating Motown since we honored Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson at our inaugural benefit gala in 2013,” said Grammy Museum executive director Bob Santelli. “So we are thrilled to be opening our first-ever Motown exhibit with the Supremes, whose unmatched success infiltrated both the pop charts and pop culture in the ‘60s.”
