Scherrie Payne

Scherrie Payne (born November 4 1944 in Detroit, Michigan} is an African-American singer. The younger sister of singer/actress Freda Payne, Scherrie Payne was lead singer of The Supremes from 1973 to 1977, after Jean Terrell left the group in the fall of 1973. She is sometimes referred to as "the little lady with the big voice"..

In 1986, she joined Terrell and Lynda Laurence to form the Former Ladies of the Supremes or FLOS. In 2000, along with Laurence, she became a part of Diana Ross' Return To Love tour, which was billed as a Supremes reunion, though Ross, Lawerence, and Payne were never in the group at the same time. High ticket prices and the fact that Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong were not present were factors contributing to the tour's demise.
