In an ironic twist of fate, "Want Ads" was originally recorded by Glass House with Scherrie on lead vocals.

The Payne sisters together made a new version, but did not like the song and when Honey Cone's lead vocalist Edna Wright walked by in the studio they suggested she should sing it.

As a new member of the Supremes joining Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong, Payne often remained quiet during interviews with the group mainly because four years later, reporters were still asking about Diana Ross.

Payne sang lead on the single "He's My Man" (which also featured vocals by Mary Wilson) and "It's All Been Said Before", both taken from the album The Supremes.

Payne began to realize that Motown did not really care as much about the Supremes as they had in the 1960s, due to the changing musical tastes of the era.

Payne's contributions did enable The Supremes to enter the disco era, however, with such dance hits as "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking" from the album High Energy, "You're My Driving Wheel", "Let Yourself Go", and "Love I Never Knew You Could Feel So Good".

When Terrell departed, the group continued with Laurence's sister Sundray Tucker, who was a former member of Stevie Wonder's back-up group, Wonder Love, and this lineup worked prolifically with British record producer Steve Weaver, resulting in a catalogue of 40 new recordings, some of them re-recordings of the Supremes' original hits.

Payne and Laurence continued to tour under the FLOS name with third new member Freddi Poole, who joined the group in 1996 replacing Sundray Tucker.

", which she recorded while a member of the group Glass House and was featured on their second album, Payne has had club hits, such as a cover version of 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" (featuring her sister [Freda], Edmund Sylvers, and Wilson on backing vocals) in 1982, followed two years later by "One Night Only", a song from Act II of the musical "Dreamgirls", which is a musical based loosely on the history of the Supremes and the advancing of the Motown sound into the disco era.

The following year, Payne signed with British producer Ian Levine for his Motown reunion project, Motorcity Records.

"[citation needed] In August 2001, Payne was invited to perform at the annual prestigious open-air festival Sunset Junction Street Fair in Los Angeles.

In 2012, Payne (along with longtime producer Rick Gianatos) recorded and released a version of the Supremes hit "Let Yourself Go" along with a music video.

On July 5, 2014, Payne along with Greene performed at the Sheraton in Los Angeles a concert program based on their album "Partners" which was released by Motown in 1979.

They were subsequently featured in the magazine Daeida, with a photo shoot; the accompanying article chronicled career highlights with the Supremes and separately as well as the re-release of their "Partners" album on CD.
