@@Maatization Well, that was said like a true, silly "Ross as a solo act" who probably wasn't even born when THE SUPREMES ruled the musical world during the 1960's.
Obviously, you people are silly "Ross as a solo act" fans! Let me correct you! "No one had seen anything like THE SUPREMES........they brought it and they brought it hard."
@@mic6434 You said that just like the silly "Ross as a solo act" fan that you are who wasn't even born when THE SUPREMES were America's Sweethearts and ruled the radio airwaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go read some MORE books written by Ross fans and recite some MORE revisionist musical history!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diana Ross is just amazingly brilliant....TOTAL SUPERSTAR....Motown had no one like Diana. They all looked great here and worked that whole entire stage.
'67 is definitely a turning point for the Supremes - and not just the transition from Flo to Cindy. By mid '67 all traces of stiffness/nervousness are gone, especially Diana. Her movements are confident, fluid and graceful all at once and the hair and makeup are flawless. Truly mesmerizing.
Don´t know what you are referring to. They were always super professional and confident in all their performances. True they became more glamorous, all three of them after 67.
@@m.omarmartinez8423 Watch their TV performances chronologically and you'll see what I mean. Start with Come See about Me on Ed Sullivan, December, 1964. Diana is popping her eyes, what Motown's in-house Etiquette guru Maxine Powell called "Making Faces." Watch them in 1965 singing "I Hear a Symphony," on Hullabaloo where Diana's shoulders are hunched up high (she references this stiffness in her autobiography). The Supremes were always professional and always poised, but I've been watching their performances in chronological order and the performance in this video is the first time I see Diana looking comfortable letting loose. She truly looks like she's enjoying herself here. Check out the opening of the TCB special for more of the same.
@TheManMan Love Diana Ross she was always nervous thats why you always seen her with her shoulders hunch she said that in a interview she was always nervous and tense
Dude - it’s ALL LIVE vocals too!! 🤷🏽♂️… no wonder Diana was on her way to being a SUPER STAR! .. just listen to her flawless vocals and the presentation 🤷🏽♂️
@@lindahines9380 -- Right. I understand that Cindy had replaced Florence Ballard by now but I wouldn't feel right giving condolences to the others without recognizing her!
After hearing this song (seeing this performance), I knew, Berry Gordy knew what he was doing, making Diana the lead vocalist! She is Supreme, the total package 🎉!!!
Actually, the public decided by making Where Did Our Love Go a monster hit with Diana as lead. Why would he change the formula....and he was right cause they had 11 more number ones with Diana as lead. The public chose her.
A few years a go I saw this performance and realize why Diana is a legendary DIVA. I never explore Diana before I just know she is legendary Diva without checking her singing. This performance says it all. Shining Diva
@@BroccoliBeefed This was late 1967 at a quick guess, and heavy makeup was the fashion for at least two years before the 'natural' look took over. Plus you have to remember that it was television. And The Supremes. Subtlety wasn't in it!
What I always dug about Diana Ross is she never OVERSINGS a song. She just interprets it with perfect diction! No ridiculous vocal gymnastics like an American Idol contestant going for lame applause in the middle of a song.
Will: Those who dare to say Diana has a little voice should think again from this performance alone. Her voice here was incredible. She delivered a remarkable rendition to "The Lady Is A Tramp". She should have done more Jazz. And let's not forget their magical performance of "Reflections", definitely 1 of my favorite songs by The Supremes...and fun fact is that we're passing the mark of 60 years from this broadcast...wow...
@@SmartRobot-wc2fb she's also very versatile and not just in jazz but gives a great performance in almost every musical genre. But did you ever hear all those strong so dynamic singers try and cover her material ? They're cringeworthy!!!
Agreed. It's all about intimate phrasing and incisive diction. This is why she could sell the Cole Porter so convincingly. The entire Supremes thing for me is about drawing you in by the dazzling glamour yet softness of their feminity. They're modern-day sirens without the massacre, and not at all like the gospel influenced singers contemporary to them.
@@Maatization Yes, visually, I agree. Musically, not so much! When Holland, Dozier, Holland and Florence left, the musical sound suffered greatly. Cindy didn't have Flo's pipes and the hit records were no longer coming with the same regularity.
This performance really was Diana's "star" moment, and one of the best TV appearances by the group overall that cemented setting them apart as not being a "female singing group," but a major entertainment act. Everything and everybody here looked, performed and sounded excellent. I think that none of the former Supremes should ever really have felt that they were lost in Diana Ross's so-called shadow: IMO, they all earned and shared the fortune of remaining quite recognizable and fondly remembered, each one individually, as uniquely talented members of the best female vocal group of the 1960s and '70s. :j
...you have discernment...i always say that i love them all equally...they all were so exquisite...all 3 of them....i looked up to all 3...they are excellence....
Yes so true on top that, Sammy Davis knew to get them to come his show with their first number one after Florence left. That was the best thing he did. He knew he get that money.
From this period after Florence departed The group BECAME international superstars performing at top venues thought the world including ROYAL COMMAND PERFORMANCE In LONDON..I remember the show like it was yesterday they opened with IM THE GREATEST STAR from FUNNY GIRL..,SOMWHERE , AND LOVE CHILD their latest single. In my opinion CINDY fitted in perfectly at the end of the day as much as fans loved Florence .A DRUNK OVER WEIGHT SUPREME was not acceptable
@@mjc5509 as flo stated they ALL drank and Flo was not overweight. Christ compared to Ross’s eating disease Twiggy would look fat and Cindy had zero talent. Gordy picked her cause she looked like Flo. They were always international stars and without Flos voice which gave the Supremes there harmonies they never came close to being a solid group again
"Reflections" is possibly one of their strongest songs. As a kid, the hits from the group just came wizzing by, then this-a serious dramatic big song. Just the tempo changes, the severity of the orchestration. All the while the ringing Motown rhythm, but the writing and melody is something else. Others have attempted to cover the song with mixed results. Nobody has come close to this original recording.
Those gowns are beautiful. I saw them at the Detroit Historical Museum in 2000 and the detail and beading put into this gown was amazing, especially the Bob Mackie gowns. ❤️❤️❤️ Mary did the world a great favor by collecting all of them.
Mary worked hard to keep the legacy of the Supremes alive and thriving. I saw her collection of gowns at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin and have an autographed copy of her "Supreme Glamour" book. Shame she left us so soon. She is very missed.
They're all in the indie/underground. The mainstream music companies don't want quality anymore and artistic merit since the late 90s. That's their loss.
Many say Ross' voice wasn't strong. Not true. If that were true you would be able to hear a lack of conviction in her interpretation. She just didn't overdo it..
Her vocals are unique and unmatched. It’s her phrasing of words, control of breath and timing. Diana Ross is a strong vocalist and has good technique. There is more to be a singing then just being loud and Diana knew it!!!
@@dangerislander Live performances of songs like "Riding high" "No one geht's the prize" "let's go up" Are more than enough proof that she could belt whole phrases and sustain notes around F5 to A5 with ease. She doesn't sound strained or unsupported, her voice is clear and strong up there. It's just not something she did very often. Her softer singing was not the result of incapability to belt, just her preferred approach.
Well what I can say is Diana Ross got better with her vocals over the years because when The Supremes first started to get well -known publicity A LOT of people couldn't stand her nasal voice especially in "63" - "64" this video will show ruclips.net/video/TaxefjFN84w/видео.html
Just classy beautiful women. Just think it was the sixties and rarely did you see women of color like The Supremes performing on TV and looking ever so stunning.
She was THE PRETTIEST Supreme! Although Diana was the most charismatic, Mary always SOCKED! This kept Diana on her toes. She had ALL the star quality. Mary had ALL the looks! 💯
@Dallas - so true... I can’t believe how Diana Ross outdoes the contemporary entertainers... it’s damn impressive, esp when you think this was 50 years ago...
It's the same in every group, the lead singer always think they are higher than God. The other members silently suffer & begruntled, but because they feel they created the band/group, they are irreplaceable, but no such luck, it's the one who brings in the most money, be it, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson or whoever, it's all about the money, with the exception of the late Levi Stubbs, (lead singer of The Four Tops), who refused to change the name of the group, or leave & go solo. All the rest said, "F. I." (Richard Pryor's language), this is my big & one & only chance, I love you gang, but I gotta do what I gotta do. As Diana said in her song, "Remember Me", Bye baby, see you around, didn't I tell you I wouldn't hold you down. Remember me, as a good thing.
That was the extent of Mary's talent at least that is what she believed which is why she stayed in the background instead of taking the lead when Diana left. I think she would have been a success with the public cause she was a orignal. Jean Terrell was not.
I've read so many positive and negative things about Diana Ross. Who knows what is true or not? I do believe though that she gave her entire body, mind and soul for her music career. "Giving up" or "holding back" were never options for her.
Right and they had just added it as Diana Ross and the Supremes. Not a happy thing to have done to you when you helped start the group you love. So unnecessary and didn’t increase sales. Sowed division.
So great to see a live performance of DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES.. MS ROSS looks and sounds at her best here..,BUT MARY AND CINDYS choreography and backing vocals on REFLECTIONS steal the show ... MAGICAL...
No one can deny that Diana was the star though 😬… I love Mary and Cindy. I love Florence too! However, 🤷🏽♂️ Diana just SHONE more bright 🤷🏽♂️ And the evidence is TODAY!! Diana Ross is still selling out her concert dates on the eve of her 80th birthday 🤷🏽♂️
When Diana left the Supremes she took the glamour with her. Mary benefited by standing next to Diana all those years because Diana was the one that had the glamour and transferred it to Mary. When she left the glamour left.
That part. Diana taught Mary how to do her makeup. And even did the other girls makeup in the early days. Designed and sewed a few of their early outfits. Diana contributed a LOT to this group and was the special ingredient that made the 3 of them Supreme. Mary said they felt like one complete woman when together.
You can hear the difference of the harmonies. I see why the andantes stood in on recording sessions. It doesn’t sound bad, just they don’t have the signature harmonies like with Flo and Mary in backup
Mary absolutely did her thing... MANY times. I may also add, the non inclusion of Mary in that RTL fiasco speaks volumes about her importance in the group. #TeamDiana but also #TeamSupremes! Every one contributed a major part, they were a group, not a DR solo act!
Mary Wilson made sure the RTL tour failed by going on a negative media blitz and spitting like a wet cat in TV interviews. Diana Ross was the Supremes and you know it. People be trying to make the background singers as important or more important than the lead...stop....please stop. Mary was not Diana's equal on any level and her solo career proves it...
You can't even hear mary and I like that only for this song because you can't never hear cindy on the songs when I first hear this I thought cindy vocals was mary and mary cindy vocals but when I watch cindy sing that when I Realized that it cindy singing like at 5:255:48

That part. Diana taught Mary how to do her makeup. And even did the other girls makeup in the early days. Designed and sewed a few of their early outfits. Diana contributed a LOT to this group and was the special ingredient that made the 3 of them Supreme. Mary said they felt like one complete woman when together.
I love her so much she’s my feminine archetype
You mean Diana?
@@owethumhlongo1494 yes
1st live performance without Florence Ballard. Lyrics are ironic.
david and the temptations performed 🎭
Here the Hollywood palace I recognize the lights on the floor
@llona D Do you have Diana Ross and The Supremes singing The Sound of the City with Sammy Davis Jr from 9/26/67 on The Hollywood Palace!!!
It would be freaking awesome if music could be performed like this nowadays. 😔 Musicians/performers actually sounded great when playing live! 🤟🙂
They had GLAMOUR.
You can hear the difference of the harmonies. I see why the andantes stood in on recording sessions. It doesn’t sound bad, just they don’t have the signature harmonies like with Flo and Mary in backup
Mary absolutely did her thing... MANY times. I may also add, the non inclusion of Mary in that RTL fiasco speaks volumes about her importance in the group. #TeamDiana but also #TeamSupremes! Every one contributed a major part, they were a group, not a DR solo act!
Mary Wilson made sure the RTL tour failed by going on a negative media blitz and spitting like a wet cat in TV interviews. Diana Ross was the Supremes and you know it. People be trying to make the background singers as important or more important than the lead...stop....please stop. Mary was not Diana's equal on any level and her solo career proves it...
As well she should have. I'm not talking equals, I'm talking fairness. Job well done MARY! I LOVE DIANA... but RTL was a drunken, ego driven disaster!
@@HRHPDTV That how Mary wanted it to be...she was hateful and did everything she could to destroy Diana's career...
Diana's eyebrows .... the forerunner of todays' drag queen.
their mic was ONN
ross makeup 💄was nice here she was
Young here
You can't even hear mary and I like that only for this song because you can't never hear cindy on the songs when I first hear this I thought cindy vocals was mary and mary cindy vocals but when I watch cindy sing that when I Realized that it cindy singing like at 5:25 5:48
You really don't want to hear Mary sing!
@@williammials6080 I'm a big Mary fans so what are you talking about and at the end of the song you can tell Mary take over im Gen Z we still have our fav to
Mary Wilson set the tone as a trend setter for the first Black female entertainer to be Blond 👱♂️ 👌 on Nashional television . All the rest followed, Mary j Blige, Beyonce, Vivica A, and the rest.
Mary Wilson is Stunning. On this show. She looks so beautiful and classy. She was the "Superemes".
OK... And the other two?
She was a background singer who sang baby baby and clapped her hands and she was the Supremes. Ok I guess that makes sense.
Was the Supremes? She was a backup singer!
Diana wishes she had the figure those girls had---what!!!! However Diana is the BOSS😊😊😊
The other two girls wish they were Diana.
If yu put a record on turn table an turn it by hand tiil it reaches start point an then turn back, i guess that is t start part of reflections. Sorry Mary passed away, though Cindy Birdsong is ALive an well Praise God. !!!!!
Diane's 💄makeup LORD!
I like the shimy Mary and Cindy were doing😂
