There will never be another group to match the style, grace and artistic perfection as the Supremes. Their music will stand the test of time.
I'm a millennial but I love Diana Ross! 💖
So you love evil?
@@TerrellAmarino baby. We love Black excellence and nothing evil about it.
Me too she's so fabulous she was the Beyonde of the time
Back when there was talent plus respect, kudos to the great Ed Sullivan.
So many hit songs. When I think of Diana Ross I always think Supremes. When I think Supremes I think of Diana Ross. Loved them together.
This has got to be one of the greatest performances of all time! Such beautiful women and such wonderful music. We'll never see this again.
So you have low standards of performance
The medley was a hot mess...the songs were all over the place and they didn't sing my favorites like Forever Came Today, I'm Living In Shame, No Matter What Sign You Are, Love is Like an Itching in My Heart...and then at 3:47 Cindy had to swerve to avoid running head on into Mary when they circled around Miss Ross and then Cindy got so flustered that you can see her tripping over her dress as she almost fell backwards on her behind at 3:48.
❤ the oldes from the u.s the supremes in the 1969 or the 1970 ts 😅 happy times yes Diane Ross. 😅happy m.t ❤ the music 😅 happy times..times
Diana has a gorgeous voice, she sounds like an angel when she sings and like a queen when she talks. So intelligent, well spoken, and beautiful. To be fair, that set of statements could apply to any one of the Supremes.
Florence will always be my fave, but oooh, mercy, ooh wee baby, do I get chills whenever Diana talks and sings! Miss Ross, you're trying to seduce me! This is sick Miss Ross, my parents used to listen to your records!
For a lady who grew up in the Brewster housing projects in Detroit she has had an amazing career.
The Beatles of the 60's women groups.
So to speak... ;-)
The epitome of glamour. Diana Ross and The Supremes. In an class of their own.
Pure class. Don't make em like this anymore.
50 years ago this week Diana Ross officially exited The Supremes and became a solo artist and superstar. It was the end of an era. Rumor had it that the late Luther Vandross cried when Diana Ross left the Supremes.
RIP Flo Ballard
RIP Luther Vandross
You can see the sadness in their eyes😭💖.
Actually True They Look Sad No Matter How Much They Went Through Dealing With Each Other It's Sad When A Group Has To Break 😭
Beatrice Olivier no not diana thats what she wanted and she got what she wanted
What a lot of people don't know or remember is that after Florence Ballard got fired in 1967, Mary Wilson nor Cindy Birdsong sang on any other Supreme Hits. The Andantes who like The Funk Brothers were the best unknown folks at Motown sang background. Also after Holland Dozier Holland left, The Supremes popularity on the charts waned. I sometimes look at The UK Girl Group Girls Aloud and wonder if anyone ever told them how lucky they were that they all sang Lead at lest once. Also don't you notice that although Ed Sullivan acknowledged that Diana Ross would continue as a Solo Act, he didn't talk about Mary or Cindy.
you only know because you Googled....so stop it!
Not true at all
She had success in the UK
My diva right here. I love Diana she is such a classy lady. The Supremes were a fantastic group. Amazing. I still listen to the my CD collection and it's 2018 now. Quality music this is.
Ed Sullivan was too much......"Let's hear it for the girl"!!!!!! And "Diana Ross will continue her career as a single star". Not a word about Mary and Cindy :-(. Their performance was great. Hard not to think about the fact that Flo Ballard was on most of the records in the medley and Cindy wasn't on any of those records. Neither Mary nor Cindy were on "Love Child" or "Someday We'll Be Together". Can it be 53 years ago? Unreal.
This song makes me feel very emotional, beacause when i hear it that reminds me of the time when they where happier, in the early 60's, of their swing, in the time of the ORIGINAL supremes...reminds of the sweet Flo's jokes, her attitude and their innocence, of diana's very sweet voice and mary's sensuality!.. these girls are and will always be unforgettable!!
Well said, Jay!
Lynda Anthony Yes i’m very young compared to a lot of the people that grew up listening to The Supremes in their prime, i am 20, but still i am very aware of the racism and segregation in those times, i know the 60’s weren’t perfect.
The greatest female singing group in history! Diana Ross was so elegant when she was talking to Ed and it was sweet that she bestowed a kiss of Thanks on him. The only thing that was out of place was seeing Cindy Birdsong in Florence Ballad’s place. Sadly, A time we will never see again in television ..
The Supreme's kicked ass with ALL their top hits!
They blazed the trail for Beyonce.
@@audreys8306 You mean Destiny Child
Beauty, style, class, ageless and a beautiful voice.
Ed Sullivan and Dick Clark were extremely important to Motown in an era when rock and roll might have been appreciated as a profit generator, but still wasn't regarded yet as a lasting art form. Especially with racism as an issue as well. Berry and Barney Ales were fully aware what a powerful tool TV was in helping move records in 1960s, and when invitations were extended for any of Motown's acts, the pressure was on and the rehearsals detailed and extensive.
Absolutely. You can tell the ladies worked hard to perfect their routine and live vocals. They hit every mark and know exactly what camera shots are being taken - especially Diana. This is a charming and nostalgic performance by one of the great musical act of that legendary decade.
Dave dvlaries & dusty Springfield too
Exactly, in the first time probably in forever, musicians were not limited by their color. Motown acts were headlong huge shows, groups like The Temptations, Supremes & the Four Tops were frequently appearing on TV shows like The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand, Ready Steady Go & The Hollywood Palace
Beautiful then, now and forever.....The music still gives me goose bumps.....This fantastic group and their music will live on forever......Thank you Ms Ross and the Supremes...........Patrick ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💯%
They are ICONIC ! BEST FEMALE GROUP EVER ! DIANA was destined to be a STAR.
Amazing how they go effortlessly from one song to the next
I remember seeing it live. Everybody watched Ed Sullivan in Sunday nights. There will never be another.
I know the backing vocals are prerecorded but it's cool to hear Love Child with actually Mary and Cindy's voice!!
Don't understand why he didnt let them record it sound so much better
"Someday, We'll Be Together" I love this song, the music arrangement and vocals.
During this performance, Mary and Cindy are singing over the recording with the Waters Sisters.
@@DJDiscoCat no Mary did not sing on love child. She was actually on vacation when they recorded love child and was shocked to find out when she got back that they had already recorded love child without her. This came from Mary Wilson herself per her book dreamgirls my life as a supreme/supreme faith. I just finished reading it that's the only reason I know lol
U skipped a part. She went to LA to close on her house for her move to California then she went in vacation. She had told Berry before Love Child was written.
Florence Ballard you will never be forgotten princess RIP . Some day all if God's children will be together.
Back when good music and the mainstream one didn't exclude each other.
ernest747 I know....Beyoncé are you listening
Damn right ernest. If you get a chance, plz check out Tom Jones and Sly Stone - Everyday People, Midnight special. Somewhere round the 70's:)
lol
Rhianna Barr-Beaumont shut up....Beyoncé has nothing to do with this
I always cry when i see their LAST appearance as a group on stage.. It's just sad remembering all the years of joy they have been through.. It starts all flashing on my head.. And it really makes me sad..
You gotta love Ed..I think he was genuinely fond of the Supremes and always called them "The Girls"
myboylollipop09 The Only Reason Why He Called Them The Girls Was Because He Couldn't Remember Their Names
I've heard that also..Sullivan was well known for being a tough character who rarely warmed up to anyone and couldn't case less about mingling with the Hollywood crowd..Sullivan new talent when he saw it and featured many acts of color on his show such as Jackie Wilson and Della Reese who appeared on his show 17 times..
It is clear Ed was fond of the Supremes. They had excellent songs that had wide appeal. Having the Supremes on his show was a sure fire ratings draw. That and the ladies never acted in crude or unprofessional manners. Ed never had to worry that any of the Supremes would do anything less than a professional show. Motown and the Supremes were well aware of the importance of the enormous Sullivan audience to selling their music to America.
How big/old was The Women where he came from ? That is what they called Black men ( Boys) and Women ( girls ) back then ... it had nothing to do with fondness ... IF he was Fond of them he would have called them the Women !!!
The Supremes and Ed Sullivan are always so cute together. I love Ed Sullivan, he's such a classy, nice, charming man when introducing the acts on his show, I hope I'm like him when I'm old
Love her talking voice, too.
I wish this music would come back...calm the young people down...
America’s most successful vocal group
Of all times. Male or female.
A small voice but she could effeminately sing and had rhythm. Diana a true supreme!
.... They were all great in their own right. The Supremes are truly an iconic group.
I like where Diana holds Mary's hand near the end of the song. So sweet.
ssan3257 I never noticed. I Love it
Y'all does Diana really take Mary's hand at the end of "Someday We'll Be Together? I watched the song over and over. It LOOKS like they hold hands... and right before she appears to "let go" she looks at Mary. sniff, sniff! Was she thinking of December 27, 1964 when she and Mary first graced the stage of The Ed Sullivan show? Wow, they were 6 days shy of their 5th anniversary... they had shared so much, and now the "Supremes Dream" they had created a decade before was coming to an end.
Diana was the lady boss, of all times...
Diani looks the same but different and sounds extremely the same but with a deeper tone
DIANA ROSS………….THE BEST……..
They are tired: Mary & Cindy recording with Jean, all the farewell TV appearances, Diana with her pressures of becoming a solo star, Mary is tired of Diana, Diana feels she is being ignored by Mary & Cindy -and they were especially after she had been with all the TV show elites of the day WITHOUT them , BUT (it's subtle & the immature, self-absorbed, diva bound for superstardom Diana) with her actions, Diana says, "I love you, Mary!" as she takes Mary's hand at 6:48. I LOVE it. I know their goal was to finish this song, but I wonder if Diana & Mary thought of their 1st Ed Sullivan appearance almost exactly 5 years earlier especially when they touched for those 5 seconds.
What a lucky guy Ed was that night to be kissed by that angel
Whenever I hear this song, my mind wanders to Homer's Odyssey, how Odysseus's ship sails near the island of the Sirens, whose beautiful song lured sailors close only to be dashed on the jagged rocks. When the crew fastened Odysseus to the main mast as they sailed past, THIS is what he sees and hears. You cannot tell me otherwise, three beautiful women with the perfect song.
I know reality is far different. I know Mary and Cindy weren't in the studio when Diana recorded this song with Johnny Bristol. I know Diana was a perfectionist and she and Mary were shoving each other at the Motown 25 Special. I know we mortals are imperfect, and the stories we fasten together from scraps of reality can't possibly match the transcendence of our dreams. But you can't tell me, if the blind poet were alive today, sitting at home, had CBS on the TV on a given night in January 1970, he wouldn't say the same.
I confess my undying love for Diana on this page.
pure singing and harmonizing effortlessly.
TotalTalent ,l just love to hear this group, especially Diana Ross.. I don't care about the negative remarks about her, She's an exceptional woman, not to mention FABULOUS.....HATERS!!!
I love how you understand the concept of harmonizing .Listen to the Three degrees The best girl ever in my opinion . th-cam.com/video/TMBYSJ1T20E/w-d-xo.html
TotalTalent Ledgen
Yes!!!! Such angelic voices..
Diana Ross could be really pretty at times
The best the one and only supremes. No group comes even close today.
Betty Davis eyes. She sings with every inch of her body. There is no other. Diana Ross is in a category of her own.
The nay sayers have nothing on Diana Ross. She epitomizes style ,class & worked hard to.get what she has and where she is today . Love her & the first group.of Supremes !!!
How ironic "someday we'll be together " is their last song!?
When I was a kid, I thought that was the reason for the song...that they were breaking up. Then I found out it was just another icky love song.
Yes, it was Dina Birdsong's last appearance with the Supremes on TV.
@LenaHorneFanDina Birdsong is my nickname for Diana Ross.
Diana is supreme! Been listening for 60+ years. I'm 72 now, loving real music.
You can see the pain in their eyes when they sing someday will be together
Diana is SO gorgeous.
My favorite female group, so many classic hits. Great memories of yesterday, thanks for posting.
At my age it is yester-decade ! ; )
Cindy was/is superfine and wholesome
I believe it is like Mary or Ginger question ( Guilligans Island) Mary or Cindy or DIana ... I always chose Mary .. Diana second .. then Flo and Cindy ... it's all about preference but Cindy was fine ... they all were
Maurice Daugherty , she has the most Charismatic demeanor, and a voice that could melt the skin off your body..lolz.. just Beautiful!!
thanks mainly to the funk brothers
What a last appearance ! Miss Ross is pure gold, on every aspects.
Yes, Diana Birdsong sure does look good.
The song was recorded solo by Diana and intended to be her first solo single release. Gordy changed the plan- it was the perfect fit for the Supremes swan song- even if it only featured Miss Ross...
I hear the song and all I can think of is Florence Ballard because without her there were no Supreme she created them and she made them and they forgot her rest in peace Florence Ballard I'll never forget you and someday you and I'll be together
You are so right on about that. However she, Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys, Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones and even David Ruffin found out the hard way no matter how important they were to forming a group, they could be "replaced". They all died who were all addicts and out of the Four of Them three were broke. I don't know if Brian Jones had Money when he died.
Call her Miss Ross. The group was never the same without Florence.
Even though all the members of the group contributed wonderfully with their vocal talents,it.s obvious that diana was the right choice as lead singer because of her elegant and classy persona and charm and the beautiful range of her voice,but it is also obvious that she was given preferential treatment and favors by berry gordy because of her closeness and relationship to him.
If the camera man is ordered to focus on you then you automatically become the star.
I still remember crying that night ... ( believe after they sang Diana made the announcement , ) couldn't believe what I was hearing when they broke up ...I was heart broken ... just a little kid ... didn't know that was the way of the world ... I loved my Mary Wilson :-) I wonder how many kids felt the same way when Destiny's Child broke up ?? Thank s for the video
BEFORE THY WERE WELL KNOWN I HAD ALL3 IN MY TAXI.THEY STATED THY WOULD BE WELL KNOWN.BOY DID THEY MAKE A STATEMENT.
Is this appearance when most people found out that Diana was leaving? I guess I thought most people knew by that point.
There is absolutely no doubt that Mary and Cindy were singing live on this. I have seen Mary performing this at a concert and it is definitely her voice on this recording. Not the Andetes or any other backing group.
I believe on the medley it is definitely her, however, I am not convinced it is her on Someday (which it is apparent they are lip singing to the original track)
How can this be 2018 and women are less glamorous..beautiful glamour
Diana is very charming here..class!
Please, just like the Hollywood machine these people were no different than you or me. They were kids taught how to walk, talk, act, dress and perform. All that was manufactured. Once they were in their environment they drank, smoked, cussed, slept around, etc.
Not all of it, some things are not taught, and those things do come through. We're not talking about them being regular people, because they were, they are. But not everyone is the same. Some people have it, some don't.
Damn she was speshally kute during that opening interview.
One big, huge, fantastic, epic class act, plus size!
The Supremes with or without Diana Ross were still the best.
Jean Terrell has the sweetest and most soulful voice.Mary has a husky and commanding voice.Cindy has a strange but elegant voice.Florence had a brassy and sensual voice
They will never be together again in THIS lifetime, that we know. Mary preserves the legacy, while Diana is a superstar and moved on years ago. They will be together again in death, as the "Return To Love" tour scandal in 2000 killed any hopes of a group reunion.
Diana has never been a team player as it was always about HER. That's the way she rolls and that's one reason why Florence ended up disliking her so much. Mary put up with her cause she had to get paid and I don't blame her but honestly she will always be who she is and that's why she continues to talk about her children cause nobody really is TRUE friends with that woman.
It wasn't Diana who pulled out it was Mary ... who kept the Supremes together all those years but was supposed to get paid millions less than Diana .... Diana needed them so-called b_( don't want to repeat the word when talking about Black females) to get out of the projects , then fugged the boss ( Berry Gordan & had a kid ( not sure but I believe he was married at the time aka adultery) ) to get to the top / replace Flo as lead singer ... she wanted to be Diana Ross and the Supremes not the Supremes but when David Ruffin wanted to be and the Temptations they acted like it was a criminal offense ...
Wow! Profound, Vincent.... and, yes, no wonder a person like Diana Ross loves her fans so much because they are the only ones who return her kind of love = extremely sad. After Berry Gordy's "Motown the Musical" I keep questioning Berry & Diana Ross' (keep in mind they are 88 & 74 respectively now April 2018) relationship. If they, indeed, were so in love 1964-1970 and she owes so much to him ,why don't those two, selfish, old farts not marry each other? They are both single and no one gives a "flying fig" about the "value" of relationships in 2018. The problem, once again, leads right back to the incredibly talented and self-absorbed , Diana Ross.
If I loved someone I would have divorced & remarried not have a sordid affair.
Vincent50 Diana Ross don't have to defend herself. everyone knows Miss Ross got where she is in music history by working hard and talent! Miss Ross had Berry Gordy in her corner and that helped her career a lot. It's not Miss Ross fault that Florence got raped and was lazy and was jealous of the attention Mr. Gordy showed Diana Ross .the whole world loved Diana Ross. Miss Ross was the lead that got 12 number 1 hit records not Florence or Mary it was Diana!
I don't know why Diana looks great when she sings the melody of songs and then looks high and drunk when she sings "Someday we'll be together" Just my humble opinion.
Latonya Wallace she was probably fighting back tears
She was darker hair there is too much bleaching in America
This is the best medley of the hits I've heard
I know the girls didn't really like Where Did Our love go but I felt like this being there final tv appearance they should have included it in this medley. I mean it was the song that really kick-started it all for the supremes.
they probably did but it wasn’t in the final set
They left out Forever Came Today, I'm Living In Shame, The Composer, Some Things You Never Get Used To and No Matter What Sign You Are
Classy gorgeous lady Diana Ross & WHAT A VOICE!
They needed Johnny Bristol in the background for the last song.
I never saw this program that was good I have my on concert with the supreme
“Someday” was also played at Florence Funeral which is crazy cause she was long out the group when this song was recorded.
Odd how Diana Ross & the Supremes, the Beatles, and the Ed Sullivan Show all ended around the same time.
Mary Wilson was beautiful
Why do I feel a sense of something not right when hearing "The Happening?" Maybe because it was the last number 1 song featuring Florence Ballard on vocals. I don't want to take anything away from this performance, but Florence deserved a happy ending, too. God bless her.
Love the microphones : Can HEAR Cindy & Mary!!
You could see Diana feeling emotional about the separation.... especially the slight nod she gives Mary before she moves out front. They really did it all.
She didn't have to leave. She chose to leave.
@@clemsonbloke Yes, what's your point? Like Beyonce, Gladys Knight, Michael Jackson, Smokey Robinson, Justin Timberlake, John Lennon etc...CHOSE to leave their groups.
@@dtrn254 Well you said Diana was having emotions on the separation. I basically said that she didn't have to leave though. That she chose to.
@@clemsonbloke yeah you're not making sense.
My Goodness....this inspiration is a blessing from GOD. Kept people dreaming and reaching. ✴️✴️✴️
JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!!
This was my favorite female group when I was teenager!
I love you Diana
Thank you ladies for giving us so many sweet & lovely tunes. Bless you all
Love Diana
I see some negative comments about the character of Diana Ross. Here's the deal. She always had the gift, a completely different look and unique sound. People call her names, but when it all goes down, you are only you to rely on. She has always kept her private life and her show life apart. She knew how to be number one, and that is all what it takes.
EXACTLY.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT WENT ON BEHIND THE SCENES. BERRY GORDY CALLED THE SHOTS. DREAMGIRLS CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME BELIEVE IS A MOVIE AND DOESN'T ANSWER THE ALL QUESTIONS.
Thank you!
Miss Ross to you? Oh her Majesty!!!!
The only people that speak negatively of Diana Ross are the ones that are jealous of her and her successful career fame and fortune!
Selfish One I love her music I use to have LP of her, and now I have several CD, she' s the incarnation of class and her voice is so musical plus her songs are really beautiful, my fav CD is Ross 1978, Diana, chic version is FANTASTIC, the boss, Diana Ross 1976, An evening with Diana Ross, and a few compilations, I just read a book recentely and now I know much about her....but I still love her work and her talent.
The Supremes broke the mold and created a real path for girl groups to succeed in music. They were the first group of women to match any male group and even do better. Women in music today, owe a lot to the Supremes.
I love this Arrangement.. and Master Production."Someday We'll Be Together". The Three Guitar parts really exemplify. Sultry Sexy Electricfying Soul *****. What a Grooving ***MOTOWN FEEL***
the one and only, miss diana ross
❤ her. Saw her 4 times. 1st time Madison Square garden, both bowls and Thunder Valley.
All shows better than great. Always # 1! ❤
I love this ,the dresses are so beautiful😃
At 6:26 I love when Mary said "Oh,yes honey" and I don't think that she was supposed to say it...Good job Lady
I couldn't wait for Diana Ross to get out of the group because by that time I knew we were going to get Jean Terrell!!!! Love the Supremes with Jean.
A little embarassing, there' not a group anymore but a solo artisti called Diana from the host and two anonymous vocalists ....
Alex Ciak right. Sad. They made it about her and her only and she didn’t even try to acknowledge any of the other girls. I would’ve left the group way back then.
@@AmberSumerall Then why is your dumbass watching the video?
I just discovered today, 29 September 2017, that Diana Ross and I attended high school together. CASS TECHNICAL high school in Detroit. She was graduated in January 1962, and I was graduated six months later. I have no memory of her, of course, since I was a geek and nerd before those terms came into use. You learn something new every day :)
I so enjoyed the vid! Grew up hearing these fabulous oldies but goldies on mom and dad's radio channel when radio and people were REAL! Thanks ❤
....she is eloquent, there is only one person who can do Diana Ross.
Que artista. Nunca va ver una artista como Diana Ross. DLB...
Beauties
04:34 I love their spin around as Ed announces "Someday."
Motown at it's best!
Right up there with the 70's Abba and Bee Gees in terms of hit songs.
This was very beautiful!! Almost like visual art!
Man this was MUSIC!
Oh Miss Ross❤
I’ve seen this medley a million times, but today…for some reason… this one made me cry
