Mary, Scherrie & Susaye is the final studio album by The Supremes, released in 1976 on the Motown label.
The album featured the final line-up for the Supremes, composed of original Supreme Mary Wilson and latter-day members Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene. All three Supremes take leads on the album. The album was a mixture of disco dance tracks and R&B ballads. Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene mostly took over the dance tracks while Mary Wilson performed the ballads. Released in October 1976, the album was released nine months before the trio disbanded.
The entire album was released for the first time on CD on May 17, 2011 on the three-disc set Let Yourself Go: The '70s Albums, Vol 2 - 1974–1977: The Final Sessions.
