The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

The most under-rated Supremes hit. Lamont Dozier praised Diana's singing and song.
It truly is supreme.
Sorry. It's shit. Don't piss on me and tell it's raining.
This is my favourite of this girl group genre. Don’t shoot me all the rest is “Pants.”
This was literally 3 days before my parents were married😊 i appreciate their influenced me with motown such as the supremes.
Yes this song along with "Some Things You Never Get Used To" I consider their two best songs.
Those dresses were amazing. How come we don’t see classy fashion like that anymore?
Because it's now considered sexy to dress like a slut. Mary and Cindy couldn't sing nearly as well as the back-up singers on the original release. Was it The Andantes? Ross looks stunning here.
Yes they were .
Ask Beyonce, she is the latest rage. DR & S had class at every performance.
Rest in Peace Mary Wilson 😥😥😥
god bless!
She and Flo are together again.
I didn't know she died 😱😱
@@canyonvibe7589I always wondered how she felt as everything Florence was concerned about kept coming to fruition
Look up "SUPERSTAR" and you will see a picture of DIANA ROSS: Nobody did it like she did.
Diana Ross often sounds better when she sings live.
love diana's lashes and big eyes. mary always had the best moves
it's fantastic how diana uses the camera
Love that he says all of their names!
Mentioning all there names was important IMO...
He also refeered to them as "The girls".... 💯💯💯
Yep, Ed was a class act. He knew Mary & Cindy were just as important and talented as Diana.
💯
@@lindabrooks372 -- So did we who lived in Motown.
Mary Wilson - wow!!
Mary my favourite 😻
Same thing I said!!!! WOW!!!!
Wow wow wow mary
EVEN THE EARRINGS WERE PERFECT.
The Supremes were riding a tremendous wave of success with almost every single going to #1 when this was released in '68. It's perplexing why this stalled at #28. Sounds just as good as their previous hits.
This is my favorite Supremes song. U get 1st notice of the WIDER range of voice Diana is capable of for years to come. So great to hear!!!🥰
I LOVE the way their gowns catch the light!
Diana Is really beautiful here. Her eyes are capturing.
Diana is a STAR a real STAR. There are very few of those left.
Diana was elegance and beauty personified!
Miss Ross to youl
Thats Miss Ross to you. That woman is the Boss!!!
Knock off the Diane Ross revisionist history! You're watching the most successful American vocal GROUP in musical history.............the main event, THE SUPREMES!
@@kurtsupreme It's you kurt that's living in "revisionist history". This performance is of Diana Ross and the Supremes - Cindy is featured as a background vocalist here! Your hatred of diana Ross is blinding you.
Yes, even for the BRIEF time that they were announced as "Diana" Ross and The Supremes" on record and by television hosts, the general public still called them as they were then and are still now.............THE SUPREMES! My comment was addressed to the person who was ignoring the group and commenting on Diane as though she was the only one who was "elegance and beauty personified." In fact, that's actually funny because, of the three (or 4 if Cindy was considered), it was Mary who was generally believed to be the beauty, never Diane! As for Diana Ross and The Supremes, isn't it the proof in the pudding that the group was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and given a lifetime Grammy award as THE SUPREMES??????????? That should tell you how much attention was placed on the brief period of "Diana Ross and The Supremes." I can barely bring myself to call them that..........never could! Obviously, it was a bone of contention for the fans THEN...........and still is!
Mary Wilson is one gorgeous woman. Then and NOW!!!
Best singer ever!
Mary Wilson!
The pose of a winner, the smile, the sensual presence, and a world-class beauty.
...truly she was...and she made it seem effortless....
Mary loved being a SUPREME this recording on ED SULLIVAN is a very good example of her best choreography.
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. Mary is OK, but I wouldn't call her a beauty. She has a nice smile, though.
@@CuirPhotodotNet beauty didn't sell her records, nothing could.
@@cravendubose3024 hater. You’re nobody.
My favorite TV performance. Everything was right, the gowns the bodies, the hair. Simply wonderful
You didn't catch the part where Diana screwed up the lyrics. She covered up flubs well
the camera loved her
Never heard this song before tonight, but I’m already in love with it!!
There's a remix on TH-cam by a DJ goes by Mosogotam, it's really good
It also was done by the Jackson 5
@@wethepeople8895 definitely have to check that out!
Later recorded by the Jackson 5
If you love this performance you should check out the cover by the Jackson’s you fall absolutely in love
This live performance was better than the studio recording
They always sounded better live, because they could actually sing, regardless of the idiots that dismissed them as merely eye candy marketing. The eye candy was just the icing on the cake. Many of the dancing clowns of today couldn't hold a candle to these women vocally in their prime
My Forever Came Today❤
Such an iconic performance! Cindy and MW bookending Diana as she poses in the background. Then she gracefully and sensually slides the mic up her right side while stretching out her left arm in Diva style. Then the 3 ladies practically march across the stage together in a show of unity, and woman power until Diana separates from the group. I love how she gently sings “Hello happiness....” looking directly into the camera. She really worked this performance and the camera. Great gowns that eventually appeared on The 70’s Supremes.
Good play- by- play!
Ben Dowdy
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it.
An iconic performance.
You describe it perfectly! That March they do together is everything! I'm like at that point they are about to let us HAVE IT! Favorite part.
Tim
Yes! They did not saunter down the stage; they marched with the purpose of blowing us away with their performance. They knew exactly what they were doing and they were the best at doing it!
Never had I read a comment so descriptive. I mean you got into the preformance in detail. Yes THE BOSS new she had STAR POWER and wasn't afaid to express it. If I ever needed anyone to write a book about me. YOUR HIRED!
I love this performance. And, those gowns and glamour, wow!
😁👍🏽🕊️
I would like to have seen Destiny's Child performing this song wearing the same gowns.
You know it!💓
Its something about watching Mary Wilson swingggg so smoothly, elegantly and delecate at 0:59. Its BREATHE TAKING...... Mary Wilsom was always a great dancer especially when she swong side to side..... my o my......
Go back or to school & learn how to spell, please & thank u.
@@davidbetsey2437 What didn’t you understand? You say go ‘back to school’, but can’t even spell “You”.
Try again sir. 😂
I thought I was the only one who watched 0:59 a thousand times ♥️♥️
I thought I was the only one who watched 0:59 a thousand times ♥️♥️
@@lindakayeholmes3841 Me to.I cant tell you how many times I practiced those moves from Mary in this video in my own heels LOL.
March 24,1968 live. Big enough that people talked about it the next day.
Diana was always immensely talented, and beautiful too.
You’re right! Diana is stunning. Diana did it for me from the 1st time I saw the group on tv way back in 1964. Two years later at Blinstrub’s in Boston where they were performing, she beckoned me on stage to sing Where did our love go with them. I was transported to another world. I’ve sung with her and danced with her many times over the years and she truly is amazingly beautiful and her scent would leave me lightheaded. She broke down so many barriers that artists take for granted today and she did it with a mega watt smile, big hair, gorgeous gowns and her trademark silky voice.
I disagree. She was a nightmare. Selfish , self-centred and only interested in herself. Much preferred Mary and Flo.
Thanks for your response. I received 2 from you. I got a good laugh out of both of them. Thanks for the laughs!
@@Dion_Mustard mary or Flo couldn't have taken the supremes where Diana did.
@@cravendubose3024 that's irrelevant.
Wow!!! Diana's gaze was so sultry in this performance!! They ladies moved gracefully with such sophistication. The Motown machine was perfection in every way.
That was not Diana Ross, 😂
@@J.leeHolidaysmh it is her
Still think she is just jaw dropping beautiful
All three were beautiful
@@enricodrubio6645oh shut up. We don’t always have to include everyone in a group. If they think she beautiful. Then she is the only one they are talking about. If they wanted to include all three they would have. I can’t stand when some of you do that. Oh they are all crap. Not everyone would agree on that.
Diana,Star!!!
Diana Ross is simply the best! Incredible!!!
To The One & Only!
Ms Diana Ross
I always watched them sing
I had A record collection back then.
Maybe brought A few 33's & 45's I had
A job to afford my record collection
🙄🙄🙄🙄
Well, she was the only one sleeping with the boss anyway.😎🤨😎
@@amzyjones1780 Because Mary was busy sleeping with everyone else....The boss fell in love with Diana like the public did...
@@amzyjones1780so🤷🏿♀️
They were so glamorous and svelte.
Peaked at #28 on the Billboard Hot 100. And for me, that's a hit.
This should have been a #1 and so should have "No Matter What Sign You"
@@timwfortenberry no.
After Florence was fired it was hard for the public to view Ross in a sympathetic light. If you were a fan at the time you know that Flo was the fan favourite. Gordy set out to destroy Florence so she would never be a threat to Ross. And Gordy and Ross will go down in history for perpetrating one of the cruelest plots in show business history.
@@boofusdeldooofus Your delusional, drugs and alcohol destroyed Florence. Why was she fired? for being a drunk and missing shows. In other words not doing her job..NO ONE at Motown viewed Florence has a lead or a STAR in the making, she was too undependable, and unpredictable. NO ONE. . There was no need to plot against Florence she wasn't that significant and certainly didn't stand in anyone's way. Stop treating her like she was ARETHA! As for being the "fan favorite" more delusions. I know of some very famous Supreme fans (Rupaul,Oprah) who said Diana was their favorite. The notion that a background singer who wasn't even with the group for the long haul would be a fan favorite is laughable. Only her delusional fans have made her greater in death than she ever was in life
In those days anything that hits the top 40 was considered a hit. Not sure if that is still the standard today
DR sings this track with swag.👍
I love the harmony of Cindy and Mary. I really love it when Diana starts getting down at the end of the song. These ladies were perfection
shame they never sang on the actual track... the vocals were by The Andantes :(
@@stassman75 but the vocals here are them and it sounds better than the track
@@davonchesmith9688 I agree. They are better here. According to Lamont Dozier's autobiography, the last time the original Supremes were in the studio with him was for "In and Out Love." Forever Came Today was recorded after Lamont stopped showing up at Motown so he was not aware of the Andantes being used on the recording of Forever Came Today. He was not sure why the Andantes were used since they had not been used on any of the prior Supremes recordings that he oversaw in the studio.
@@davonchesmith9688 Actually, no...they aren't. If you'll listen carefully to the background vocals on the original recording, you'll hear the Andantes (and how Gordy ever thought they were even remotely comparable to Cindy and Mary's vocals is a mystery). After listening to the original recording, listen to this recording. It's glaringly obvious that it's the Andantes, most likely recorded. Another dead give away is the fact that Diana is using a microphone. Neither Cindy nor Mary are using one, nor are there mikes on their gowns. You might argue, perhaps, that there is a boom mike out of frame. But then why would Diana need one? No, the real evidence is comparing Mary and Cindy's vocals in earlier songs to this one. Mary Wilson in her book said that this was the first Supremes song she never sang on. They're lip-synching.
@@randeman I saw them in person while the song was on the charts and Mary and Cindy sounded just like the voices here. So who knows. Only Mary and Cindy know.
This is my favorite song and video by them they sound great and they're all totally beautiful! Diana Ross was only 24 years old here
Unbelievable song
I know Florence was saying "Forever came Today" when she saw Mary walk through that gate of heaven🤧. Im really going to miss Mary Wilson because she was more than a background singer. She was the glue that held the supremes together. Rest In sweet heavenly SUPREME PEACE....🙏🙏.
You do understand, that everyone that dies don't get to walk through those Gates, and you can't talk people into Heaven.
@@cravendubose8179 save it
@@cravendubose8179 yeah save it. Nobody cares about your opinion.
Florence didnt record Forever Came Today.None of the Supremes recorded the backing track.
This was The Andantes backing Diana.
@@cravendubose8179
So true. I don't know why when a celebrity passes everyone assumes they go to heaven.
Diana is stunning (as always)! Cindy and Mary are pretty nice too
Dam they look amazingly beautiful 😍
I can't think of any other female group who topped THE SUPREMES. And they never had one bad hit. Almost everyone made No. #1 on the charts.
A little trivia: in spite of all their success neither Diana Ross nor The Supremes have ever won a Grammy. Something wrong here.
How do you know The Supremes never won a Grammy.
@@Jjonathanhart By general knowledge having been a DR & S fan and just look it up. It is unfortunate but true. It is great seeing these segments of their performances from the past.
Okay, in comparison to that, THE WHO never had a number one hit, yet sold millions of albums. Yet, THE SUPREMES were Motown legends.
These outfits! 🔥
Two great vocalist from the 60s Miss Ross and Miss Streisand
I can not put it in to words iii my god iii nice iii wow x
Diana, out shine them both.
Not really
@@turnedonguy she really did, and you and everybody else knows it.
DIANA ROSS
Pure.
Happy 84th Birthday Miss Cindy Birdsong
It's been a long time since I heard this song and it sounds great!
Those dresses are beautiful 🤩
I didn't know The Supremes did a performance of this in 1968. I was only aware of the Jackson 5ive version. Very nice. Thank you.
This is it. At last.
YES!! I've been watching this performance for years....on my "The Best Of The Supremes on The Ed Sullivan Show. " Some really good performance on this DVD.
This was one of my favorite songs by the Supremes. ❤
Mary looks so elegant with that smile and wonderful walk ❤
I had been looking ALL OVER TH-cam for this performance. Diana, Mary, and Cindy look stunning in these gowns and wigs.
I hated that those gowns were lost in that Mexico City fire. These are my absolute favs!
Always loved this song. Seeing them in 1964 was my first concert! I want this played at my wedding reception, that's if I'm ever blessed enough to get married. At 66yrs, I can still dream can't I?!!loll
Seeing the Supremes as your first concert was a great beginning!
Yes you can. God can grant the desires of your heart!
Still wonderful.
Love this song, My Forever Came Today. The gowns are so gorgeous! They all look stunning, glamorous and so professional. Great song. 🎶 🎉❤
Those sequins... just... those sequins...
What a song what a performance.
So slick and sophisticated. Perfectly put together, all 3!
I want to be a Supreme in my next life and l'm not talkin Pizza.😘 They were gorgeous , talented and l cannot take my eyes off them.😍 l feel so blessed to have lived in the very same lifetine as them all.💝
THE JACKSON REMAKE WAS CLASSIC HIT TOO MAN A TIME MACHINE NEEDED
This background vocal is much better than the record. Wilson and Birdsong singing pretty high and harmonizing as well.
Sometimes, a Motown studio group called the Andantes backed up Diana in the studio instead of Mary and Flo/Cindy. If that was the case with this song, that could explain the better quality on the TV show.
Example: The "Supremes" recorded both the Christmas song called "Joy to the World" and the Three Dog Night hit with the same title. No Supreme appeared on both recordings. Diana did the Christmas song with the Andantes. By the time they did the Three Dog Night song, paired with the Four Tops, she had left the group.
He already knew that. Most of us fans know
@@dchi2012 Good point. But many casual fans or people just discovering the group may not have known this.
That actually were the Andantes who did the background on this song as well as "Someday We'll Be Together", and "Love Child". An in house vocal band from Motown.
The andantes didn’t do someday. The water sisters and Merry Clayton did the vocals
Flawless voice!
...One of the FINEST looks from 'The Girls'...and, with MARY now departed from us, THIS moment Mary had will ALWAYS reside with the public as, 'The Star in the Background'....RIP Beautiful One, your FOREVER, came TODAY.....TOUCH.....
...nothing against anybody else in the group...but MARY...always HELD MY EYES...
@@CuirPhotodotNet ...especially during her stride to the camera, when 'Diane' sings, "...laid a plan, for everlasting love..." ...REGAL, and gorgeous....
@@RBS_ you saw that too? Lol yes she stands out I like her.
@@RBS_ ...i was lucky enough to photograph her...kiss her hand...she was very kind and gracious...i shall never forget her...truly she was a queen...
Absolutely fantastic ....
Diana Ross and the Supremes at their most glamorous and beautiful..This is evidence why they were the best girl group in the world at this time
Diana was a princess
Right and she is Miss Ross to you!
Nice to hear Mary and Cindy’s vocals on this performance, wish they’d been on the real recordings of their singles in 68 and 69
Jack Lees, The purpose of back up singers is to hear them. Diane was always afraid they would drown her out. Especially Flo's voice. Diane told Berry to keep their mics down and he did whatever she wanted! Screw the both of them.
@@freddie3206 The purpose of back up singers is NOT to hear them other than in harmonious background situations to enhance the featured vocalist, you moron!
Diana is a lead vocalist - Cindy and jealous mary never were.
@@freddie3206I forget the name of the song but there was a song that Florence Ballard sang lead on at their concerts and Diane Ross didn't like the Applause and the attention Florence got she whined to Berry and Berry being whipped had Diana sing lead effectively cutting Flores out with started her being manipulated and forced out of The Supremes
@@freddie3206 They were the BACKUP singers. You F & M stans are really insufferable.
@@arnolddobson302I believe you're thinking of Florence singing the lead on "People."
Sure could sing! 🌟
One of my favorite Diana wigs
My fav DRATS single. Should have been #1!
Birdsong was so pretty ❤
Wow! The ultimate in beauty!
I LIKE THIS SONG. AND THIS VOCAL PERFORMANCE IS SPECTACTULAR
FOREVER IS TODAY. Monday, April 8, 2024, AD, 1:25 am, EST.
Gorgeous 😍 Talent Diana Ross Is 😍
My favorite gowns and wigs. What a great performance at their most Supreme.
When I think that these gowns were lost in a fire it hurts! This is one of my all time favorite look for them. The gowns scream expensive!
Fantastic!!! keep the supremes performances coming!!!
Hypnotic. This lady was responsible when I was in grade school for me wanting and fulfilling my passion to become a writer.
Can't wait till they release "The Fats Waller Medley" and "The Irwin Berlin Medley" as well!
Same!!!!! fantastic performances.
Me too! “Fats Waller”, “Irving Berlin tribute” AND “Millie, Rose and Mame” which is one of my favorites. I love how they change outfits while performing the “Millie, Rose, Mame” medley. Can’t wait to see those!
Yes!!!!
Yes! Yes! Yes! One Yes for each Supreme!
Yes!! Been looking forward for those performances!
Simply the best!
There may have been bitterness between them after Gordy pushed Diana to lead, but he was absolutely correct. She had and still has superstar charisma that made them into the megastars of that decade, as big or bigger than the Beatles, turning out hit after hit songs that were some of the best written songs ever, they hold up with time, are still produced by current artists. They were the conversation the following morning at the water cooler. I still think it was Diana’s star power that sealed the deal. Saw her in August and she still thrills packed crowds when she enters the stage. She is legend!
I agree, but Gordy didn't push her to the lead. She wanted to be lead and when Where Did Our Love Go hit # one that sealed the deal and there was no stopping them. Saying he pushed her goes along with the narrative that he was somehow unfair to the others by "pushing her to the lead"
I would like to know what was the point of Miss Ross going solo?
@@jackjules7552 I guess that's a rhetorical question
@@jackjules7552 Wow.
She markets herself as a "solo" artist but she still needs three professional unknown singers to sing with her on stage. @@Maatization
the first time I heard
this favorite song of
mine it felt like my very own wedding day song!❤❤
Superb in every way.
mary we miss you rip
Those gowns are stunning they always wore fabulous gowns but this time they outdid themselves
Beautiful ladies, classy and timeless.God bless them all, rest in peace florence.😇😇😇😇😇😇💞💞💞💞💞💞🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💯
No female singer, to this day can can out shine THE GREAT DIANA ROSS .
I loved Diana Ross but as talented as she is, there are singers who can out sing her.
@@celiaphd So true. She just came along at the right time.
I'm a huge fan of Diana however Whitney Houston blew me away. Just sayin.
@@celiaphd may someday there will be but not now, Diana still rules for now.
You are blinded by your love for Ms. Ross which is admirable-- but ask true expert’s. There are many singers who are more talented and can sing circles around her. Simply being visible does not a great singer make. It just makes for a great performer. When all is said and done, the essentials things will rise to the top. Having children with married men to further one’s career is not the ethical way to outshine others.
Class Act!
Beautiful and talented ladies.
These ladies are forever!!!! looking delicious in my favorite color :)
Good ole day, lovely song... My favorite, "Come see about me, Come see about cha Baby" 🧡
I can't wait for the rest of the video even after the show mary look stunning in the black Galaxy outfit and Cindy I love the way they walk up
Can't wait for Love is Like an Itchin in My Heart!😎
One of my favorites! Go Mary!!
RIP Mary Wilson
