Though she didn't perform this particular song last night, Diana Ross did do a whole set of classic Supremes' tunes at her show in NYC. I wasn't really surprised by it because it wasn't one of their biggest songs. Still, I love the tune, and my pal Larry, who accompanied me to the concert last night, loves it!

Back in the day, there was a lot of controversy surrounding Forever Came Today. Followers of Diana might recall it as being one of her first solo songs. Mary Wilson, in her memoir Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme, claims she never sang on the tune and it was recorded after Florence Ballard had been fired from the group. Not a pretty moment in Diana's history, for sure!
