Ahh... the famous "trip and recover" performance. No way is she going to fall down on live television. That's STAR POWER! Seeing the restoration of this show clip gives me hope we'll also see the rest of the "specialty" clips. Diana Ross and her Supremes appeared on the show 13 times, but I always say 26 times because each show had two performances: the first segment featuring the new hit they were promoting for the kids, and the second segment featuring stylized tin pan alley tributes and medleys with Broadway airs for the parents. It is these SECOND batch of clips Supremes fans REALLY want to see restored! The Sullivan clips of the hits have been around for years.
.....good MORNING!!!👍 ....I'm also DYING to see the supposed mysterious live performance of "Some Things You Never Get Used To" that Mary included in her "DreamGirls" book in 1986....I've never seen ANY footage of that...ANYWHERE!!
@Alain Quartermaine ...In the back of the book, Mary gives a list of all the 'performances' the 'Girls' gave chronologically, & 'Some..' was listed, as an "Ed Sullivan" performance; My Book is boxed away in storage, but if proven wrong, I'll humbly remove the comment...
What a wonderful way to begin a new year! January 5th, 1969 Diana and the Supremes sang Love Child, I’m Living in shame and then topped it all off with this mashup of “I get a kick out of you”/I’ve got you under my skin”. I remember having seen every appearance these 3 ladies made on Sullivan but this one really hit me. It was around this time that I wondered why Diana was still with the group. It was the moment for her to spread her wings and leave. Rumors had been circulating for a few years and the excitement of her leaving was practically tangible. I wasn’t sad at all when they split because there was too much to look forward to regarding Diana’s solo career. Needless to say, she not only lived up to the expectations; she surpassed them.
Wow, i just discovered this! What a gift ! Here the tough girls from the Detroit Brewster projects doing a very very nice rendition of such a classic white song from an era of terrible racism. But thats the point! The Supremes and Motown in general helped build that bridge that was there all along, a bridge of accepting the reality that our Black brothers and sisters are beautiful talented men and women to be celebrated rather than stupidly irrationally reviled.
2.03 Diana trips... im reading her biography and it mentioned it... I did not believe it until I saw it... we all make mistakes. Love you loads still Diana 💗 I am the greatest tribute in the 🌎
Ah the Supremes pretending that they can tap dance! Good old fashioned variety! So many Pop stars appeared on the biggest TV shows of the era which tended to be flagship Sunday or Saturday night ratings busting variety shows watched by the whole family. It was one of the few opportunities to watch your favourite stars perform long before dedicated Music TV channels. They would perform their latest hit or a medley of hits in one segment and then later appear performing a Broadway "standard" often alongside the shows host. This format continued well into the 1980s in both the US & UK
does anyone have an actual list and songs that they did on Sullivan so that i can see if i have seen them all .my last discovery was the ethel merman one. i also think that they did a song with irving berlin.
Diana has always been the key to the group. It is not known if, Diana were not the main one, the group would have made so much success. So Mary accepted, she says it herself in the interviews. Don't try to erase the story, it was like that and it was amazing that way.
Considering the times and the relationship between Diana and the CEO...Mary didn't seem to have much of a chance... I have seen interviews where Mary said she stood up for herself and the group, but she had not chance.
@@SocialExhaustion Those 3 cities mentioned are the most important places on the East Coast for Motown and Chess in the early years.. they would play D.C and Baltimore, then Philadelphia and end up at the Apollo.. and you know that they didn't do this kind of stuff..
@@bobwatson1162 well of course they didn't do this kind of stuff there. Barry was trying to bridge gaps racially with The Supremes and on the same token, make more money. They were simply very marketable. This is a fun little performance.
Was it Diana channeling Michael Jackson or Vice Versa? Wow, remember when Michael had cosmetic surgery done to look like her? And then the problems began with his nose falling off or something...But I loved them both. (I graduated HS in 1969, and every Sunday we watched Ed Sullivan Show at my friend's house).
You claim you love Michael and then tell these lies that the tabloids put out about him one of the things that broke him…..unpopular opinion but y’all overrate how much Diana influenced Michael. Musically there’s no similarity or nothing else. Michael didn’t have cosmetic surgery to look like her and I wish y’all would stop just believing everything y’all see in the social media. These are the same tabloids that said latoya and Michael were the same person mind you…..Michael didn’t need to channel Diana ross. If we’re talking about performance, James brown & Sammy Davis influence him the most….and Jackie Wilson. Michael’s performing style doesn’t scream Diana and the fact is Michael can actually dance and is more fluid in his movement so there’s no way when he’s performing he could be channeling Diana. When MJ is performing you see Sammy Davis & JB. The only thing Diana influenced was some of his vocal styling in his earlier years…..the problem is y’all believe too much. Michael didn’t want to look like her he was IN love with her and wanted to marry her. They don’t even look that much alike….at one point they had the same skin tone & they both have big eyes but that’s about it.
Nah. He was obsessed with her. He emulated her looks and vocals. Even the little hiccup he had. Diana did it first. There's even video of her doing her own little moonwalk when she was with the Supremes. Huge influence on MJ.
@@mariabarrientos7690 yesmm .but legend has it that sullivan forbade any drug references, its said that the doors were kicked off for just sayng high but i have heard guys joke about lsd on this show, heorge karlen and that guy from the jackie gleason show
I don't think Mary and Cindy are singing background. I know their blend and this sounds like professional studio singers (and not the Andantes, either) to my ears.
You can tell there were all so young, but what star power. The trip and recovery! That is what Legends are made. Great restored piece. A fave.
Once they line up and sing in harmony: priceless.
....OOP! (2:03) ...ha-HAA!! ..Diana, the CONSUMMATE professional, kept RIGHT on going!
such a pro!

The best talented, beauty and karismatick girl group in music history ever !! 💙

Diana Ross always stand out! She has the look and the talent to go with it. I have always been a big fan of Diana Ross.
Awesome
We love and miss you much Mary!
Rest In Peace Queen!
Just beautiful!
The Best=Diana Ross !
!!!!! Thank You for sharing
The Quality 😫😫

Yesssssss
good point 👉
I allways said the supremes were 3 black girls from Detroit housing projects had a dream and made it

Love This!!
Perfection
Diana almost fell (2,02) and Mary forgot part of the choreo (2,20) but both handled it very professional
the camera makes a closeup on diaNA after the fall as she seems to be crying
Marry killed it perfectly
Mary has the prettiest hands ✋ !!!
ダイアナ・ロスって、やっぱり妖精だな。何故か、しわくちゃな顔でも惹きつけられるんですよね〜(^^)
I love a girl in a suit. Yes please!

Im like they not even trying to act
How cute were those girls!
So cute! Love. A lot of work for a routine they only performed once. But I guess that could be said about a lot of their Sullivan extra performances.
A lot of work for one performance? Very problematic statement.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy Why?
does anyone have an actual list and songs that they did on Sullivan so that i can see if i have seen them all .my last discovery was the ethel merman one. i also think that they did a song with irving berlin.
Mary should've been braver and stood up to the man. The way The temptations were. No one is bigger than the group.
I say this all the time
Diana has always been the key to the group. It is not known if, Diana were not the main one, the group would have made so much success. So Mary accepted, she says it herself in the interviews. Don't try to erase the story, it was like that and it was amazing that way.
@@ThuxOliveira Agreed.
Florence stood up to the man and they fired her. So your logic is quite flawed.
Considering the times and the relationship between Diana and the CEO...Mary didn't seem to have much of a chance... I have seen interviews where Mary said she stood up for herself and the group, but she had not chance.
🤦🏾♂️you will never see this at the Apollo theater in New York or the Uptown Theater in Philadelphia or the Howard theater in Washington DC...
And they've played the apollo earlier in the 60's with great success before. So what are you saying? The Supremes can't provide variety?

Rhonda and Tracee's mom is pretty good if you ask me...😉
😂😂😂 I love it!❤
by this point it was all DIANA ROSS and other two were just props
but GREAT props nevertheless

Miss Ross doesn't need to channel anyone. She is a rare treasure.

Ed knew that the group didn't have a total black sound and that the Supremes was a cross over group.
( MJ must have seen this).....
RIP FLO
An awesome group! They always have been! But on this video, it doesn't seem like they're really tap dancing!
so much for the show business myth about banning drug references on the sullivan show,, cocaine is clearly referenced
its in the song lmao, the song was written in the 20s-30s so like cocaine was seen as a medicine
@@mariabarrientos7690 yesmm .but legend has it that sullivan forbade any drug references, its said that the doors were kicked off for just sayng high but i have heard guys joke about lsd on this show, heorge karlen and that guy from the jackie gleason show

No it’s Mary and Cindy it was just pre recorded
Beautiful
