There’s so much love for Florence in these comments ... God, I wish she was still here to see just how much she is loved and admired almost 60 years later. 😭 RIP Blondie 💕
@@stolenwig7518 I remember seeing her in I wanna say 1967 she looked good to me … now Diana looked a skeleton mess Mary looked good! Diana was loud screaming at Mary asking her to bring her purse out of the lemo. I’ll never forget that.
Florence was breathtakingly beautiful!! She had a voice full of fire, passion and strength. She should have sang the lead on "Somewhere". I love you Florence, and I always will. You lead those angels in heavens choir!
Florence Ballard is such a beauty here: model/statuesque. How cool that film has such an essence of her captured here along with her powerful, angelic voice.
They showed their arms and tops, but they were sexy, elegant, and classy. Today they would have to have boob and butt implants and be hoochy. What happened to us as Americans? 😢
@@ceeceetracey9839 All three ladies did lead vocals, on early Motown recordings, in performances and on tour. The problem is misinformation. Many commenters and bloggers not born in the Supremes' heyday, are getting information from other bloggers, instead of getting information from Mary Wilson's 1986 book, or Diana Ross' memoirs, 1993. Florence DID lead vocals; Mary as well.
@@michellekirkendall818 I've read loads of of books about the Supremes and Motown so I'm aware. People just would have liked to see more and hear more from the other Supremes and not just Diana Ross. Because remember - they all had their own fans. Flo and Mary may have had a song they led here and there but if was nowhere near enough. And lets not even get into what happened to Flo with "People".
@@ceeceetracey9839 People keep trying to create division...remember, people got to know The Supremes' as a trio...Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. I saw The Supremes debut on The Ed Sullivan Show on December 27, 1964! I was ten years old; it was my sister's birthday, she was thirteen! This was years before all this garbage on You Tube today! It was a about three, beautiful talented ladies we had never seen before (but heard on records) long before any rifts or cracks appeared. It was about the THREE of them then, and they sounded wonderful together. And, at that time, all three sang lead in yours and performances. Producers find winning formulas; in this case, Ross' sound was more marketable. That doesn't mean that Miss Ballard should have allowed her anger and belligerence to get the best of her. No matter what people continue to say (along with misinformation) Miss Ballard messed up. That's all it is to it.
YES FOR SURE--- I can see why she was well liked--- she had a stage class and so did Mary--- they were very beautiful and sang so well together. Did you notice that the ""Universe was trying to tell Diana something--- she usually missed lines-- hair gets out of place --loses jewelry...""" she doesn't get it """""
There will never be another Florence Glenda Ballard -FLO !!!! Such a BEAUTIFUL TALENTED GIFTED WOMAN. WE ALL LOVE AND MISS YOU FLO !!! SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER AGAIN .....Flo's/Fan/4ever DEBB/SILK 🌹❤️!!
@Alain Quartermaine And do you know WHY she was that way? I'm sure the stress of performing had something to do with it. Also, it became clear that Barry Gordy favored Diana (or Diane her real name) over the other girls. Florence gave the group their name, the Supremes. How would you feel if you worked to build something and then wasn't given credit for it? Alcohol truly is not the answer but I can understand why Flo felt that way she did. And yes, Flo was lovely! All the girls were which is what made them Supreme. Even though there was turmoil going on among them, they STILL put out good quality music.
To me, Flo seems like she's having lots of fun on You Keep Me Hangin' On and I LOVE that she is really feeling Somewhere, I have never seen her have such a presence on stage. Thanks for commenting.
Watching Flo sing background on "Somewhere" breaks my heart, as this was a song that she always sang lead on, in tv appearances and concerts, until Gordy decided that Ross would sing lead on it.
+Ernie Lazo I could be wrong but I think when they sang live they could not control the volumne of the mic's which is probably the reason Flo and Mary had to share 1 mic. Diane was afraid of being drowned out. When they recorded records, I think the mic's were turned down. Listen to My world is empty without you, and You can't hurry love. You could barely hear Flo and Mary on those records vs Baby love or Where did our love go.
This is the best the Supremes looked in 1966! "Somewhere" shows exactly what Mary Wilson meant about their wonderful harmony (when allowed to share it)in "Dreamgirls". The first time I saw and heard this broadcast (on You Tube) it gave me chills and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up! Thanks for posting this!!!
@@cravendubose8179but she still could out sing Diana 😂 it’s not about her making a “hit” it’s her vocals that could out sing Diana and Mary 🤷🏽♂️ give props when do.
They're irreplaceable!!! the Supremes and considered legendary now and forever. This solo group exhibited class and beauty. Please! a producer and writer consider a film for the Supremes and Marvin Gaye. Thanks for sharing. A fan always.
My favorite all time girl group at their finest. Flo was stunning and Mary was beautiful as well. Diana has the voice I measured all female artist in the pop field. Many may have been more powerful voices but none captivated me like Diana's voice. (Only Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan and Karen Carpenter have this gift as well. Just my opinion.) "You keep me hangin' on" might be their most popular hit (Certainly my favorite!) but "Somewhere" was masterfully done. Another non-hit Supremes gem is "He holds his own". They are simply the G.O.A.T. girls group!
Flo was breathtaking!!! She even said that the men always showed her the most attention onstage so she knew it as well. Diana had the voice but she got more attractive as time went on.
Back around 2011, at work myself and some young millennials coworkers watched this on RUclips. They were very impressed, and they all kept asking me about "that tall girl on the left." They all picked out Florence as their favorite.
I love The Supremes! Watching this video -- I felt eleven years old again, when I was smitten and they would forever be the gauge for elegance and form for me. Flawless! They were starters... the hair cut now called "angular" is the Sassoon -- and the Supremes helped put Sassoon on the map with Twiggy and Edie. The Supremes were not a fluke -- they were destined to be, to represent, to meet, to break up, to survive, to inspire, to triumph and reign forever -- The "super duper" Supremes!
Never Fails-- that Magnificent Power that reigns over all -- knowing HOW TO humble the over proud and sends messages if one is open to receive them... for many of us it will always be '' THE SUPREMES... Flo-Mary - Diana... and that is what should have been all along...
@@williammials6080 you can clearly tell it rattles you for Florence, and Mary to get compliments!! It’s a group and not Ross by herself. You are right though, they are backups and those backups carry her ass very well.
@@TonygMus2 Evidently not that well! On Diana Ross and The Supremes single "Somethings You Never Get Use To" (1968)..It was Ashford & Simpson! On the single "Forever Came Today" (1967) it was the Motown session group The Adantes ! And it was The Adantes again on the singles "Love Child" (1968) And "I'm Livin In Shame" (1969). On their final hit " Someday We'll Be Together"(1969) Johnny Bristol did the male backup vocals and Maxine and Julia Walters did the rest! Rattled???? Hardly! Try Not Bothered!
@@williammials6080 You’re some kind of special and stupid if you think this rattled me. While you just googled your response make sure you’re accurate! Everyone in their right mind know that was not Mary and Flo singing on those songs from July 1967 on. Take a chill pill whomever you are, because you will never change my opinion.
I love the Supremes, I was such a little girl when my mom would listen to the Supremes latest hits..my memories of Diana Ross and the Supremes are so bitter sweet..
this is hands down my favorite supremes performance ever (and possibly my favorite from Diana also) the way she sings somewhere gives me chills everytime. she is unmatched! 🧡
Too right man.... Diana is a goddess in this clip, great to see she can still pull younger fans all these years later... guess that’s what’s happen when you’re one of a kind 😍
Diana is Ross is the Boss. The Supremes would have never been the #1 girl group with #12 number one singles without Diana as lead singer. Diana even went on to get 6 #1 singles as a solo artist. Mary and Flo were great as well. They all were Supreme in their own individual ways.
To all of the Supremes, and especially to you Diana Ross. I really appreciate your music which I enjoyed during my High School years and during the Vietnam war, as you know you kept me (Hanging on) during those turbulent years. I really love you for the songs you sang that actually made me into a man during that time. I am 72 now and I still enjoy your songs to this day, May God Bless you in all that you do, your Soul music really touched mine. Sincerely, Don Seaton
Alain Quartermaine can you not go on every single post and bash Florence GET OVER IT, IT WAS OVER 50 YEARS AGO! We’re here for the music not your bitchy comments.
This is how she described herself in a 1975 interview. "I knew I was well stacked, based on the reactions from the men in the audience... I have pictures to prove it, ha" along those lines but STACKED was one of them.
she treated herself badly...by acting a fool instead of being strategic ...she was so stupid to challenge the man who was writing the checks...what did she expect that he was going to take orders from her? She got her ass fired...dumb chick
Maatization, Flo might have gotten herself fired but she stood her ground. Like Mary stood her ground and would not do that phony Supreme reunion tour for a measly 2 million. Maybe 3. Flo and Mary had MORALS.
Mannn these ladies were absolutely stunningly gorgeous for me it’s Mary tho somethin so cute n innocent in her face Flo is bomb too tho I won’t even get started on thier voices 😮
Diana’s voice was like another instrument , that high pitch and charisma , Berry Gordy knew what needed to be done , the girls harmonized And sounded amazing , so Wish I would have been a hairstylist during these times 🤩
Florence was just absolutely beautiful in such a classy and understated way. No overdone facial expressions. Mary was so lovely in such a cool and unassuming way. Diana...on the other hand.....I understand her hamming it up, as she was the unofficial, designated 'Lead' of the group. I have enjoyed their music for 43 years....since their very first hit as The Supremes. Always wished that we could've experienced Flo and Mary as leads on a few of those 'supreme' iconic hits. But I have to admit.......I had heard and enjoyed Diana in all of her glory, so much over the years prior to her solo career; that when she did finally go solo....I had heard enough of her. I did of course, love her work in the film/soundtrack for "Lady Sings The Blues," but that's because I have been an almost life-long fan of the late, great Billie Holiday. No offense intended to Ms. Ross...just speaking the truth for me.
If Mary of Flo had sung lead on any of those hits they wouldn't have been hits. Those songs were written by HDH for their muse Diana Ross to sing and only Diana Ross to sing
I love how Diana put that lone strip of wig in front of her eye so she could flick it back at the right dramatic moment! Good visuals to go with the drama of the song!
@@Maatization Florence was pretty damn good looking. I'm not saying Diana and Mary weren't because they were beauties too. But I find Florence to be extremely beautiful.
Violet Valentine Well, I wouldn't go *that* far. I love the male form too much. Haha. I always remember liking Florence though. Maybe because I'm light skinned like her ?? I dunno ?? When I watch her she seems like she was a cool chick Florence. She seems very down to earth aswell. Poor Mary, everyone seems to forget about her.
Even now, when I hear or think about the Supreme, I see these three Ladies faces and non other. It still gives me chills to know there was not enough space in the world, that Florence had to die. In other words, was that necessary to tell someone who belong to a group, you are not wanted. People have differences at times, but what about ones feelings. This is so wrong! These three ladies with such unique and beautiful faces are still The Supremes.
MickeyDs14 Who is a diva? Diane. She is a backstabbing no good selfish, conniving bitch. If you think other wise than you are a Diane Ross (QUEEN). and sorry for the insult.
Robert A. Lofgren Jr. I'm not a fan, nor am I a hater. I enjoy a lot of her music. I'm simply agreeing that her performances always seemed so exaggerated and dramatic. lol.
Fabulous performances - No wonder Diana is still selling out tours at top prices all over the world 50 years later! She is getting rave reviews in every city!
LMAO! - classic Diana. Even though I'm a Flo fan, I have to acknowledge Diana's die-hard desire to perform from the second she got on stage to the second she got off
You Flo admirers crack me up. She was self destructive, rude, flippant, difficult to work with, drunk. If she was all that, HDH would have signed her when they left Motown and started their own record company. Instead, they found their own Diana Ross... Freda Payne
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
My favorite Supremes song "Keep me hangin' on". As a child this was the first singing act I fell in love with. The broadway song was great as well. Love Diana's voice. That was a pop voice. Florence had an R&B voice more powerful but wouldn't sell as well as Diana's soothing style which was different from all styles at the time.
There’s so much love for Florence in these comments ... God, I wish she was still here to see just how much she is loved and admired almost 60 years later. 😭 RIP Blondie 💕
Jai---too bad she did not reach out to her fans..

@Damo Trent I'm sure she did the best she could. It just wasn't enough.
@@richardpluim4426 Clearly you have not been to Detroit lately.

Amazing! This is a good example of why The Supremes are a legend. They had magic on stage!
Magic and majestic ... the Supremes!
Flo looks so regal and grand when she walks in Somewhere. I've never seen her posess such a presence before. Wow.
It did not last....
Back when female artists embraced elegance, beauty and most of all...CLASS!
Not trashy clothes 😉
Thank god this was in the 60s…..
That was just the standards of that time.

No offense intended to Ms. Ross...just speaking the truth for me.
Oh yeah if Mary or Flo had sung lead on any of their iconic hits they would not have been hits...please
Diana was chosen because her voice was more nasal and airy and that attractd young audiences . But flo is a better singer and performer
Said only her fans....crazy how death and empathy can warp a persons perception.
If Mary of Flo had sung lead on any of those hits they wouldn't have been hits. Those songs were written by HDH for their muse Diana Ross to sing and only Diana Ross to sing
Very good live performance with foxy flo and mary.
FLO!!!! What a goddess 💜
They all were
I love how Diana put that lone strip of wig in front of her eye so she could flick it back at the right dramatic moment!
Good visuals to go with the drama of the song!
+lloydj74 Yes! if your a drama queen like she was.
Good catch, hadn't noticed that.
Diana is singing wonderfully here. Mary is cute. Florence is stunning and in my opinion, the most beautiful!
The most beautiful that day
@@Maatization Florence was pretty damn good looking.
I'm not saying Diana and Mary weren't because they were beauties too.
But I find Florence to be extremely beautiful.
I love this performance!!! Not alot of groups could pull this off nowadays.
Quality! From when singers actually had to sing!
Absolutely beautiful ladies! Talented, classy, entertaining! 💙
Flo's walk has go to be one of the sexiest I've ever seen!
Supa Kent
You mean Effie...(Dreams Girls)
Flo makes me question my homosexuality sometimes, she's that beautiful and lovely and enchanting
Violet Valentine Well, I wouldn't go *that* far. I love the male form too much. Haha. I always remember liking Florence though. Maybe because I'm light skinned like her ?? I dunno ?? When I watch her she seems like she was a cool chick Florence. She seems very down to earth aswell. Poor Mary, everyone seems to forget about her.
Flo is the reddest and hotttest of the red hot mammas
Supa Kent ikr Flo was 🔥 sexy
Even now, when I hear or think about the Supreme, I see these three Ladies faces and non other. It still gives me chills to know there was not enough space in the world, that Florence had to die. In other words, was that necessary to tell someone who belong to a group, you are not wanted. People have differences at times, but what about ones feelings. This is so wrong! These three ladies with such unique and beautiful faces are still The Supremes.
Flo... my goodness:)
+William Mason Amen!!!
+William Mason Good taste William.
Darryl Ruiz Flo was always my favorite as well. She was awesome. To young to die.
Flo, you were awesome!!!!!
Will always be the greatest!
Diana is giving all kinds of drama.....I LOVE IT!!! haha!
+caetano constantine Not me!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao. The MOST drama! She was/is such a diva.
MickeyDs14 Who is a diva? Diane. She is a backstabbing no good selfish, conniving bitch. If you think other wise than you are a Diane Ross (QUEEN). and sorry for the insult.
Robert A. Lofgren Jr. I'm not a fan, nor am I a hater. I enjoy a lot of her music. I'm simply agreeing that her performances always seemed so exaggerated and dramatic. lol.
MickeyDs14 haha I love it. I'm here for the music. Let haters blood boil over something that happened over 50 years ago that they can't change. 😁
Fabulous performances - No wonder Diana is still selling out tours at top prices all over the world 50 years later! She is getting rave reviews in every city!
LMAO! - classic Diana.
Even though I'm a Flo fan, I have to acknowledge Diana's die-hard desire to perform from the second she got on stage to the second she got off
Imagine the way they were treated back stage and everywhere.....adored yet discrimated against . They were soooo brave.
Florence was absolutely gorgeous
The Supremes along with the Beatles and Stones were the 60's for me
Flo had it all
We loveeeeeeeeeeeeee you Flo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You Flo admirers crack me up. She was self destructive, rude, flippant, difficult to work with, drunk. If she was all that, HDH would have signed her when they left Motown and started their own record company. Instead, they found their own Diana Ross... Freda Payne
@@blogshagify at least understand her story before you talk shit, next! 🗣️
@@Pseudofusion YASS Next caller! Say it again!
@@blogshagify ignorant ass post
Merci à ma maman de m'avoir fait découvrir les Suprêmes ! ❤
I think they all were great and love Diana and all her dramatics LOL.
I was just noting how Flo had a very strong stage presence in this performance
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Flo is just dynamite!! Go on, girl!!
My favorite Supremes song "Keep me hangin' on". As a child this was the first singing act I fell in love with. The broadway song was great as well. Love Diana's voice. That was a pop voice. Florence had an R&B voice more powerful but wouldn't sell as well as Diana's soothing style which was different from all styles at the time.
Yes Florence was always Dignified and bold in performance's.
Well... ????????
The dress are fire!!
@mitchell4000 i'm really glad diana has you to uphold her honor on youtube. i respect you taking up such a great cause.
Kkkkk
My absolute favourite Supremes song ❤
Yes we do oh jeslous diana
