Legends Of Motown: Celebrating The Supremes gives visitors a one-of-a-kind look at the life and career of one of the most successful American singing groups of the ‘60s, The Supremes. Legends Of Motown: Celebrating The Supremes begins at the start of The Supremes’ career, when they were still known as The Primettes, and takes visitors on a timeline tour of the height of their success — from their signing with Motown to setting a record for the most consecutive No. 1 hits by an American group in June 1965, and creating a legacy that still exists today through their music and “Supreme” style.
