Supremextreme's Blog 2012 A Susaye Kind of Year!Lots of exciting projects in the wind. I will keep you posted as they progress. xoxox What a terrific trip I had to San Francisco. The concert at the Cadillac was wonderful. Thank you Kathy Looper and everyone there. Kind thank you's to the great musicians: The Jeffrey Chin Trio (My friend Jeffrey Chin, pianist and arranger, Marc Lee on drums and Ron Belcher on acoustic bass) invited me, accompanied me and played their own wonderful songs. The crowd was festive and lively. We had a ball! I was honoured to be interviewed by ABC 7's Don Sanchez, who was delightful to speak to. They featured me on the news that evening.
We did a mini concert at the ArtHaus Project Gallery (www.ArtHaus.sf.com) that evening to highlight our "Girl Group" Happy Hour. "Girl Group" is a great exhibition of women artists from New York and California, which has been so successful from the 6th of October, and continues til December 23rd. If you're in San Francisco, please drop by and give gallerists James Bacchi and Annette Shutz a big hug for me! They turned it out, and we rocked the ArtHaus! What a fantastic gallery, voted the best gallery in the Bay Area for the 2nd year straight.) and I will never forget this event. Being invited to exhibit my painting, "Supreme Joy" was indeed a Supreme Joy for me. Sold to the fabulous lady Michelle, who saw it, and felt my energy, had to have it and gifted herself for her birthday. That's Girl Power! I can't say enough great stuff about ArtHaus, James, Annette, their family, friends, patrons of the arts, and the art! Oh my! the art! What a thrill to be among the great women artists who showed in this event. I'm still grinning! As an artist, there is no greater moment than to see your work hung and appreciated. It makes you fly! Please inquire at ArtHaus, if you are interested in a signed print of "Supreme Joy"!!! There are only 2 left from this limited edition!! Arthaus - SOMA - San Francisco, CA(415) 977-0223 · 411 Brannan Street (between 3rd St & Ritch St)"5 Star ratings are hard to come, Arthaus achieves this distinction. Great mix of art, welcoming gallery with top notch gallerists James Bacchi and Annette Schutz the experienced owners. A real San Francisco treat! "
The next evening I performed at The Vans, for Vickie and Glen's private Christmas party. What a night. We had a great time, singing, dancing, laughing with this fun couple and their lovely and gracious company of friends. They are a darling couple, who clearly adore each other. A special thanks to my friend Jeffrey Chin, who showed me such lovely hospitality; what a great fellow as well as a momentous talent! Jeffrey, you are the man. Jeffrey is offically "Bringing the music to the people." All in all, I had a truly memorable time and I'll be back San Francisco! Here's wishing everyone a great holiday! Love from me! What a year it's been!
it's finally here. The Final Sessions. The last three albums recorded by the Supremes on cd for the first time, along with fabulous graphics, rare and never before seen photos, alternate tracks and alternate vocals, plus the original Russ Terrana Mix of "High Energy". All the juicy never before seen and heard bits to make a Supreme aficianado, or a casual fan happy for many long hours. To say it is lovingly and masterfully remastered and remixed is almost a great understatement. As a musician, artist and singer, I couldn't personally ask for more. I am overjoyed with it, plain and simple. Lobbied for by Supremes fans around the world, for five years. Picking up the thread as Scherrie Payne enters the Supreme story, to join Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong, this glamourous package chronicles the music and the story of the Supremes last days together. When I joined the Supremes, I became Susaye Greene, the last Supreme, signed to Motown Records. I am extremely grateful for the outpouring of love: from HipoSelect/Motown/Universal, starting with the wonderful Andy Skurow, as the Compilation Producer, George Solomon as Associate Producer, Harry Weinger, as Executive Producer and Kevin Reeves, who mixed and remastered. It is obvious they loved doing this project and I say, "Bravo! You made a dream come true for so many. It will never be forgotten. Thank you, thank you!" I would also like to thank Michele Horie and Gregory Ross for Art direction, Package Design: Gregory Ross, and John Schuning for Orabor Creative, Photo Coordination: Ryan Null,, Photos, courtesy of Motown Archives, George Solomon, J. Randy Taraborelli, Tony Vaughn, and the Supremes' private collections. Thanks to Sujata Murthy and to Megan McLean. Thanks to Fred Bronson, Brian Holland , J. Randy Taraborelli, Terry Woodford, Michael Lloyd, Richard Davis, Tom Davis, Eliot Kissileff, Adam Minkoff, Kevin Norwood, Brad Scanton, Jo Almeida, John Carter and Tony Vaughn. Thank you and love to the Supremes Ms. Mary Wilson, Miss Scherrie Payne, Ms. Cindy Birdsong for sharing this with me. It's the kind of package artists dream of and I'm so Supremely extremely proud. I carry mine everywhere and shamelessly show it to any unsuspecting person. Please support this project, tell your friends and family. It's a wonderful part of the Supremes history!

Are you brave? Are you talented and willing to go for the gold? If that's a yes, then come on my people, I want you to dance! Dance your soul and your heart.. I'm getting involved with lots of new things, new challenges. It takes a lot to challenge me. I've seen a lot, and done a lot more, so when I get stuck in, I give things my all, my best and my most. Clock's ticking ya know? We don't know how much time we're promised and I don't want to miss a drop. I've become an Ambassador to California for the Goodwill Treaty for World Peace Goodwill Treaty for World Peace Over100,000 names now!!! Thank you friends around the world. Events are being planned and lots of surprises to come on that front. I hope all of you will take a minute and sign. The Newsreel Page for updates and "what's going on"! So welcome to the end of days! One only has to watch tv to see how fast our world's spinning. Everything's bigger than life. All the news that's unfit to print is blasted out to us 24/7. It ain't cute, but it's ours. So, it's time to step up, gloves off, thinking caps firmly on at all times. I'm ready for anything, and Supremextreme is maxin' the millenium. Put on yo' Brave New Shoes and help me dance! We gonna get this millenium party started like it's 2077! We can do anything..........I love you like a rock, Susaye. I'm amazed as we move so quickly into our future. It's been a heck of a year. A lot of gain, a lot of loss. A lot of grief, a lot of dross. (Not really all that much dross, it just rhymed.) I've been very in touch with myself and yet, not so in touch with others. But when I count it all up, I'm more thankful than I've ever been for the great blessings in my life. I've rediscovered the artistic place in my soul.
When I was a teenager I felt my full creative powers pouring out of me. I've
found that space in my heart and my head once again. Largely, because I
became a small part of one the largest art communities in the world and
on the web.
There, I found encouragement from strangers; young and old, all bound together
by the pencil, the pen, the paintbrush, paint, camera and technology. There,
once again I was able to find acceptance not because of who people think
I am, but because of what I can create.
And so, I'm digging into myself, to bring out all the good gear I can find. Here's to the future for us all and here's to the creative spirit in us all. My art and my music, my words and my pictures in whatever form they may take, are from me and for me. Those who share in the joy are welcome; after all, all art is to be shared. But the explanation lies within each of us to translate. Who knows where we will all end up. With the world spinning out of control the way it is, and not one second guaranteed, I feel it's my duty to do everything I can in the time I have. So let's have some fun: Put out your best dishes, wear your best clothing, call all your friends and tell 'em you love them. Buy somebody flowers or buy them for yourself. Take a bubble bath. Laugh. Give up what you got inside. The night is young and so are we. Tempus fugit, innit? Time has surely flown since
I first announced that my website would be up and running again and finally
here we are. Destination: fun for me and hopefully, if your mind is open,
fun for you too. This is a creative place, about many areas of creativity:
Music, talent, art, clothing, games, jokes, laughter and tears, love and
life. That is the human condition we can share. Love you madly,
