BEHIND THE BREAKUP: The Supremes had a dozen No. 1 singles in the '60s, but tensions mounted as Motown mogul Berry Gordy gave star billing to his lover Diana Ross. In 1967, founding member Florence Ballard went into a tailspin and left the group. Ross went solo in 1970, and Ballard died broke in 1976.
