1. The black and white picture of the Supremes, shot by John Dove in 1965, was about 8x8 inches, and was owned by EMI archives (Electric and Musical Industries Limited).
2. The photograph was a "staged photo." John Dove wanted to create a charming image that would make music buyers interested in the 3 amazing women. The Supremes were getting off the plane in an airport in London. The clothes they were wearing were a bit dressy for a plane ride. They were wearing dresses, heels, fur coats, and carrying large leather bags. The photo reveals that these women were always trying to be presented in their best as elegant, successful, glamorous, and classy. The photographer wanted to create the image of them smiling, in step, hair combed, elegantly coming off the airplane.
3. The Supremes were an American female singing group (consisting of three women) during the 1960's that sang music ranging from Pop, R&B, Motown, doo-wop, and disco. They rivaled with the Beatles for worldwide popularity but they are still considered America's most successful vocal group.
