Supremes(2)

:(This page is about the doo wop band. For the all female soul group of the same name, see Supremes).
The Supremes were an American doo-wop group originating in Columbus, Ohio, formed around 1954. Originally consisting of Jay Robinson (second tenor, bass, and lead), Bobby Isbell (second tenor), James Johnson (baritone and second tenor), Eddie Dumas (baritone), and Benny Collier (bass), they all came from the East Side of Columbus, and attended East High School. 
Jay Robinson originally named them the "Fabulous Supremes," based on a bottle of Bourbon Supreme that they were all drinking at the time. 
After about a year, Benny Collier left and was replaced by first tenor Eddie Jackson; fortunately, Bobby Isbell was able to make the transition from second tenor down to bass.
