The Supremes were a popular female Motown trio from Detroit in the 1950s-1960s. They produced soul music that appealed especially to African Americans and mature audiences. Though music videos were not common then, existing Supremes videos focused on live performances over visual effects. Later groups like Destiny's Child emulated The Supremes' style, and Beyoncé starred in the film Dreamgirls about The Supremes. Studying The Supremes can help inform the production of contemporary girl bands and music videos.
