Here are the official credits[edit]

These come from the press kit, which is not available to the general public unless some reliable-source website has posted it. Since we can't use a source not available to the general public, I haven't added these credits to the article, but they can serve as a guide so that when the official credits do get posted, we'll recognize it. And if you compare them with the evidently IMDb credits currently in the article, this completely demonstrates why IMDb credits are unreliable. --Tenebrae (talk) 14:27, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto the official production / crew credits, which go in the infobox and not in a separate section, per WP:FILM guidelines. Also, we don't list executive producers, and though the infobox has a cite giving Houston as a producer, that claim isn't supported by the cited article or by the film's credits:

I haven't seen the original 1976 movie of which this one is a remake, maybe that on was inspired by The Supremes, but for sure not this one.

The story starts in 1968 when The Supremes were an all over the world well known trio since at least 5 years and its members weren't sisters as in this movie.

Furthermore Diana Ross is named twice as a top artist during the movie.
