PEF author highlights life
TheLost Supreme
By DEBORAH A. MILES
Peter Benjaminson works as a state
labor standards investigator in Manhattan. He’s also one of PEF’s talented members who penned several books. One of them, “The Lost Supreme,” has
received thumbs up from prominent music and book critics across the country. The story of how Benjaminson came to
write about the life of “the lost supreme,” Florence Ballard, is just as fascinating as the book itself. Back in the 1960s, The Supremes were
dominating the music charts with number one hits. Benjaminson was working as a reporter for the Detroit Free Press. His editor told him one of The Supremes, Ballard, went from superstar status to a welfare recipient. He jumped at the opportunity to tell her story. It turned out Ballard had a lot of highs
and lows in her life.
