KATHMANDU: Barbara Martin, a former member of 1960s US pop group The Supremes, has died. She was 76.

The news of her death was confirmed by the band on their Facebook page.
“Our hearts go out to Barbara’s family and friends. Once a Supreme, always a Supreme,” they wrote.
She left the The Supremes in 1962, while pregnant, before their major breakthrough, and was not replaced.
