Florence Ballard, a founding member of The Supremes, helped shape Motown’s sound but died at just 32, nearly broke and largely forgotten. Despite singing on 10 No. 1 hits and dazzling Detroit crowds, Ballard was pushed out as Diana Ross took center stage. The heartbreak of being sidelined, legal battles, and financial struggles marked her final years. Her funeral drew thousands, but even then, controversy followed as fans booed Ross. Ballard’s story is a powerful reminder of how fame and fortune can be fleeting, and how easily a legend’s legacy can be overshadowed. What do you think Detroit owes her memory? #Entertainment #Music #Detroit
