50 years ago today, #FlorenceBallard, American pop and R&B singer (The Supremes, 1959-67 - "Buttered Popcorn"; "Where Did Our Love Go"), died of a heart attack at 32.
#RIP 🕊️🪦🎚️🕯️

Meet the Supremes is the debut studio album by the Supremes, released in late 1962 on Motown.

Stevie Chick of The Guardian, listed "Buttered Popcorn" as one of the best 10 Supremes songs. Chick expressed that Ballard was 'A bold, big-voiced belter' and described the song as 'A piece of raw, ribald soul lacking the polish that gilded their [The Supremes'] later hits'. Also, 'Ballard growls salaciously on Buttered Popcorn that her boyfriend “likes it greasy, and sticky, and salty, and gooey”, a knowingly saucy performance that somehow escaped the interference of Motown's infamous Quality Control department.' - Wikipedia

On this day 60 years ago, Tom Jones hit #1 for the first of 16 times with ‘It’s Not Unusual’.

“It happens every day
No matter what you say
You'll find it happens all the time
Love will never do what you want it to
Why can't this crazy love be mine?”
