Original video edited and AI remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"The Happening" is a 1967 song recorded by Motown artists The Supremes. It served as the theme song of the 1967 Columbia Pictures film The Happening, and was released as a single by Motown at the time of the film's release that spring. While the movie flopped, the song peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in May, becoming The Supremes' tenth number 1 single in the United States, peaking in the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart at number 6, and in the top 5 in the Australian Pop Chart and in the Dutch Pop Chart.
Produced by Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, and written by Holland-Dozier-Holland and Frank De Vol (The Happening's musical director), "The Happening" was the final single issued by The Supremes under that name. Between the release of "The Happening" and the next Supremes single, "Reflections," the group's billing changed to Diana Ross & the Supremes, and Florence Ballard was replaced with Cindy Birdsong of Patti LaBelle & the Blue Belles.
It has been widely believed, and reported that the instrumental track was recorded in Los Angeles using members of the Wrecking Crew, particularly drummer Hal Blaine. The song was authored by Los Angeles-based writer Frank DeVol, and sessions for the single were cut in a Los Angeles studio. Two reports suggest all or part of the final released single was recorded in Detroit. Supremes biographer Mark Ribowsky wrote in 2008 that "early tracks [were laid down] in L.A." but "couldn't catch the groove . . .needing a stronger, funkier bottom and backbeat." Ribowsky maintains that "they started all over again in Studio A in March [1967]." However, Chris Jisi, writing in 2009, notes the track was cut in Los Angeles but was sent back to re-record the bass line with Motown regular James Jamerson, and the final version contained at minimum his contribution.
Ballard's final of the 17 appearances The Supremes made on the hit CBS variety television program The Ed Sullivan Show was on an episode where she performed this song live from Expo 67 in Montréal on Sunday, May 7, 1967, going to number 1 the same week.
Billboard described the single as being "in the good-time rhythm music bag" as "the trio changes pace with this classy performance of the new film theme." Cash Box called the single a "light, bouncy, up-tempo, romp" that is a "sure fire chart topper."

Mary looked absolutely stunning in this front and centre! R.I.P Mary and Flo you legends - Diana still with us thankfully 😉
April 1967 saw The Supremes as our Spring Concert at Univ. of Tenn. sing The Happening, released one month earlier in March, and many more songs. Great performance!
I live south of Detroit. Their is an old roller skating rink nearby I used to go to alot in grade school. Few years before that, the Supremes *known as the Primettes then played there several times along with stevei wonder and others I'm told.
Flo looked very nice with short hair. I read that was her own hair. She straightened it of course and cut it short. 👍👍👍👍❤❤
Flo you ROCKED!!!!
Like this song, very upbeat, sounded like it should have been a soundtrack for a movie, The Happening! or maybe it was?
The song always made me feel so good. Love them...always have, always will.
The song is great, but that beat laid down by the legendary Hal Blaine is perfect. He never over played or under played his drums. He did what he thought the song needed. Of course, the drums are a perfect match to that James Jamerson bass line.
A great song!😊
love love love this song
Always loved this song. A great song.
Diana a princess.
A Treasure.
Love
Love the woodwinds on this song.
❤From here to eternity, always forever and ever.

This Song Is The '60's
@@1dandandy1 Really?
Another winner Sammy! Looks and sounds awesome! Thanks! 👍👍
Thanks very much Chris!
Very good matching of the stereo to the HQ video Sammy.
Many thanks Jacob.
The funny thing is it was the soundtrack song to a really bad Anthony Quinn movie and it bombs at the box office and yet it still went to number one. The last number one with Florence in the group
Oh I loved the movie made down in south Florida in the 60's Faye Dunaway in one of her first movies, so young, so beautiful. The director Eliot Silverstein also made another cool flicks with a young up and coming starlet Jane Fonda in Cat Ballou. As for this video, what I love is that we get to actually see Florence and Mary singing and smiling.
Great video with fantastic HQ audio! Thanks, Sammy! I played the hell out of my mono 45 RPM back in the day!
Thanks Bob! Yes I did too!
Sound quality is exceptional! thanks for posting this😅
Glad you like it!
One of my favs from them Sammy! Great sound. I just relocated to California and have some catching up to do. Thanks!
Thanks John! Best wishes for your new home sweet home!
@@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach Thanks Sammy!
The Supremes had it going on like no other girl group in the 60s..Or ever really,
Diana Ross had the best teeth in Motown 😀
Diana Ross and Connie Francis pretty well covers the Rock and Roll Era. Okay, I'll add Elvis...
Where are Florence and Mary's microphones?
Slower than the original ;)
No offence but vocal sounds too low in mix.
April 1967 saw The Supremes as our Spring Concert at Univ. of Tenn. sing The Happening, released one month earlier in March, and many more songs. Great performance!
@EM-pp8gz, Was Flo performing?
