The Solitaires
- ... that the Supremes were once mistaken for the Solitaires?
- ALT1:... that the SolitairesTemplate:` first manager was the father of Gregory Hines?
- ALT2:... that the Solitaires were booked to play at the Paramount with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper in 1959?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Hortense Allart
- Comment: Last one for a while.
5x expanded by Rosekelleher (talk). Self nominated at 01:34, 1 April 2015 (UTC).
- First hook and ALT1 do not meet requirements, ALT2 is good. All other requirements are met.
- No copywrite violations to my knowledge.
- The first hook is not directly mentioned in the article; the Supremes are, but not how the Solitaries were mistaken (by whom) for the Supremes (and not the Mowtown, so that should be clarified as well). ALT1: Hines is not mentioned as their manager. ALT2: is the best option- is mentioned and cited.
- Plenty of sourcing and 1 inline citation per paragraph.
- Article meets length requirement (1140 words)
- Newly edited (April 3 as of April 3)

- Template:Reply-to Thanks for reviewing. Hines is mentioned in the third paragraph under History. "It was during this period that the group's best known publicity photo was taken, showing Curtis, Gaston, Baylor, Williams and Willis in white jackets procured for them by their manager at the time, Maurice Hines (father of the noted actor and dancer Gregory Hines)." Re: ALT1, I see now why that isn't clear. The Supremes song was included on the Solitaires CD because someone at Old Town mistakenly put it with the Solitaires stuff; and subsequently, people heard the song and thought they were hearing the Solitaires. --Rosekelleher (talk) 22:51, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
