What I like about this line-up is that they showed their versatility in music and showed not only can they all sing lead , but that they are now very diverse in their styles of music and in singing.They gave you a variety and that's why I've enjoyed the 70's Supremes more (Mary, Scherrie, Cindy and Susaye)!!!
This was the best line up of Supremes all 3 women were able to sing, and boy did they sing to bad Motown did not see the big picture. But Mary had the brains to keep singing because today she has become a real Soul singer, and she put on a great show keep up the good work mary
The only BIG PICTURE Motown saw was one with Miss Ross and thats why the Supremes got left behind Buddah records the company that Gladys and the Pips left Motown for and had great success wanted the Supremes they couldn't leave for legal reasons
I have all the last three albums The Supreme made I didn't know until I saw this video all of them could sing lead. I'm stunned at some of the critics comments were so negative. I believe Mary Wilson, Scherrie Payne, and Susaye Greene are Superlative together. The vocals including all three of them is Phenomenal.
From 1975 to 1977 The Supremes recorded three albums that were really great. Their voices were very well showcased and so for me a fan, these albums are the greates vocally they have ever recorded. Scherrie Payne a great lead singer, but here Mary Wilson let herself go a little and Susaye Green was also wonderful with her high pitch octaves. Before The Supremes were showcasing Diana Ross, and even Jean Terrell, now is all three, showing their true talents, too bad they were not backed.
THE SUPREMES (Mary Wilson, Scherrie Payne, Susaye Greene) in every incarnation always kept with the times. Here delivering their Billboard Top # 40 Pop Chart / Billboard Top # 25 R&B Chart / Billboard Top # 1 Disco Chart "HIT" - "Im Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking"!
What I also liked about this '70's set of Supremes(Mary, Scherrie, Cindy and Susaye) is that they were getting into wearing and styling their own hair instead of wearing wigs, wig pieces and extensions!!! Look at all the clips with this set/s on Soul Train, American Bandstand, Dinah Shore Show, Sammy Davis Jr. show, and the Mike Douglas show and you can actually see they are sporting their own crop of hair!!!
Yes that is so true Calvin and they looked even more beautiful, and this was the 70's where artist were still wearing wigs and falls, but these girls had hair and natural beauty and wanted to show it
FYI- edtdavis.....This gowns were created for The TV Special "On Broadway" with The Temptations, since the 1960's when Cindy Birdsong replaced Florence Ballard, their stage gowns were always refitted and back on the road!
These were the famous rhinestone black velvet gowns first used for the 1969 television special with the Temptations "On Broadway" and specially made for Diana Ross and the Supremes and later used in the Final Performance at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas in February 1970.
I wasn't paticularly thrilled with this line-up of Supremes. Yes, Scherrie and Susaye were great singers.....but, they just didn't do for me what the combo of Jean, Mary, and Cindy did for me. For me, the Supremes died after Jean left. For me, the "original" '70's Supremes ROCKED!
I'm also a bigger fan of the group with Jean Terrell. To me, Jean Terrell had an AMAZING VOICE, she was thee BEST frontman the Supremes had as far as her chops are concerned. I could do w/o Cindy Birdsong tho, she did her part in the background holding harmonies down, but she wasn't a strong lead singer or I.M.O., she wasn't a lead at all. She sever her purpose as Flo's stand in. Now, going back to Mary/Scherrie/Susaye, my only distinction is that, I'd have to give it to these 3 for all being able to lead, tho I'm not a Susaye Greene fan, I feel her voice wasn't suited for RnB music. She has quite thee operatic, theater type voice, so in RnB & even these disco songs, for me it comes across as over kill. 1 of the songs I LOVE to hear, is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG by Mary Wilson, the slow jam, "Part of Me", Mary KILLED that & showed that she ain't come to play & that she had a voice too. R.I.PARADISE QUEEN SUPREME MARY WILSON, YOU'LL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN & I HATE THAT SHE COULDN'T BE SENT OFF THE WAY SHE DESERVED TO BE, BROKE ME HEART DOUBLE, ONCE 4 HER SUDDEN PASSING & LAST FOR HER NOT GETTING THE BIG,SUPREME SEND OFF SHE SO DESERVED, SMH.
I agree with you about Jean Terrell. Everything about her said ''SUPREMES''. She DEFINATELY had what it took to replace Diana Ross, and I believe that may have ''irked'' Ms. Ross to some degree. With Jean in the group, it was two Supremes backing up a third one, all three were on equal footing. Jean's voice just had that ''SUPREMES'' sound to it. It's just a shame she left the group so abruptly as she did, apparently she felt that she had to do what she had to do...
Miss Ross had no reason at any time to be irked by Jean Terrell. I love me some Jean Terrell point blank, but with Miss Ross solo career taking of in 1970 she had no time to be bothered with anything but her #1 hit Ain’t no mountain high enough and and her solo debut album and her solo tour to promote her hit album..
I felt like this grouping of Supremes just didn't mesh ... sounded like three singers doing their own thing instead of a group. The best post-Ross lineup was the first one with Jean, Mary and Cindy. They lost something after that. That said, the latter day albums aren't as bad as people make them out to be.
I could not disagree more. Their harmonies here and in other clips prove that their voices mesh very well together. If you are used to the 1960s production and style --- one lead singer and studio session singers dissolved deep in the background -- then perhaps the later 1970s Supremes would sound unusual. But as groups like Labelle were proving at the same time, three women with three different voices could both harmonize and stand out individually within a single song. Who says the last Supremes albums are "bad"? High Energy was a big seller -- in fact, it was their best selling album since the Jean Terrell days and a bigger seller than much of what was released during the DRATS period, 1967-70. Let's be honest. Much of what was released on Supremes albums in the 1960s is filler. Much of what was released on the last three Supremes studio albums is far from filler.
its all about the horn hook at 0:56 and 1:31 - the sound on this recording is no good tho - its missing midrange or something? sounds like it was recorded thru a wet paper bag from the next room
It's a shame that Motown did not do right by the Supremes after Miss Ross left both Jean Terrell and Sheri Payne could sing Miss Ross off the stage like they show biz is a dirty business!
at the beginning of the song mary should have said "if i finish first i'll meet you at the bus stop lol. singing a song with your back to the audience, iv never seen such a thing
I always felt like this was why this lineup had issues - at least visually. The music was good put the performances always seemed off to me. I think the best was when they were promoting their last LP on Soul Train in the red outfits. They were on point in that one.
@@lecuyerdooley1084 it was off. Mary was the tallest out of the two. Keep in mind, Mary wasn’t even all that tall. Then, the dances seemed all over the place. Susaye voice seemed to be added for coloration and not lead. She was not a good lead singer. The mix just seem awkward. They were better with Cindy. After Cindy left it was done.
@@I-AM-BELIEVER What does height have to do with anything? The Marvelettes had a far more pronounced height difference between Kat Anderson and Wanda Young than Mary had with either Scherrie or Susaye, but I never once heard anyone comment on it or say that height made anything in or about the group "off." All of the rest of what you wrote was entirely subjective. I liked the Cindy-Mary-Scherrie lineup, too, but I don't know of any fan that would argue that Cindy singing lead would trump Susaye singing lead. Sorry! Cindy is a lovely lady, well liked by all for good reason, but she was not a great lead singer.
@@lecuyerdooley1084 Also, I never said Cindy was a great lead. I was saying she was a great addition to the group and after she left they were not top 40 again. Mind you, the song they’re singing now was literally they’re last, it was the last recorded album and single with Cindy and after that they had no other hits, mainstream.
@@I-AM-BELIEVER Susaye was overdubbed on "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking," so she, too, is on their last top 40 hit. BTW, that was their only top 40 hit after 1972's "Your Wonderful Sweet, Sweet Love." Their albums and sales were hit or miss in the 1970s; you can go through their discography and take note of that. Cindy, in or out of the Supremes, is reflected in both hits and misses.
I would never had let Mike's band play this one. I would have used the tracks. This piece was way too intricate for an MOR band to play. No wonder they all got lost
When Cindy left the second time, Mary should have packed it up, but, her husband didn't want to get a day job. This grouping is so irrelevant. This should have been the last album with Cindy in the group. The audience is like "Am I really hearing and seeing this Sh1t?"
They put on a performance one might expect at the lounge of the airport Holiday Inn; Mary looked ridiculous standing over and above the much more talented Scherrie and Susaye singing lead while she just muttered a few words; I was 17 when I saw this on TV, and thought "God, how pitiful." Florence was either spinning in her grave, or, more likely knowing her, laughing her butt off.
I agree with you. The elegant harmonies the Supremes were known for are not present in this performance. It was like three singers all trying to sing lead and outdo the other. Sorry I am not impressed with this performance. I am not criticizing their vocal abilities but the way they work as a group.
@@jackanthony976 "I'm Gonna Let My Heart Do the Walking" is a song that does not rely on "elegant harmonies." The girls DO harmonize when they are singing the chorus, but it is a fast-paced, energetic song that relies on the singers' voices individually creating the song's tempo. I think the problem is that if you only view the Supremes through a DRATS lens -- one lead singer and two background singers dissolved into the literal and musical background -- then seeing three singers harmonizing, trading leads, adding in licks might be disconcerting. I prefer when more than just one Supreme is the lead.
Susaye is not blending here. They are crashing.. sad ....Beautiful ladies though... Mary could not control the new girls they are out of synch.. not a team effort.
Sorry, as talented as all three of them were, but this just didn't come together. Three solo singers but not a group. They sound as if they were trying to shout down each other. Too much ad-libbing, too less self-control, and no chemistry. It's difficult to explain because at the same time, they recorded some interesting music with the Holland brothers. But live? I hate to say it because I love them so much, still: No way!
Sorry, they weren't any good, just another black femme trio by then, nothing Supreme about them, they should've called it quits when Jean Terrell left.
This is a mess on so many levels. It shows why you need a lead so you dont have 3 voices running all over each other. The choreography is dreadful. The gowns were worn at the final show of the original Supremes.
First, other groups utilize more than one lead singer -- the Temptations and Labelle being examples of that time. While I was never a fan of the 70s Supremes wearing the old Supremes gowns, I understand why they did not trash them -- they cost tens of thousands of dollars and it wasn't the company who gifted the Supremes with them, it was each Supreme paying for them. But you are inaccurate in saying "the original Supremes" first wore these gowns. DRATS wore them; Cindy Birdsong was a member of DRATS, not original Florence Ballard.
@andre rodman You sound like a goddamned fool. Mary has been getting paid to sing from 1960 to today in 2020. I love her singing. Your avatar says all anyone needs to know about you asshole.
im gonna let my heart do the walking was ok but that medley without Ross was terrible! Ross never 'oversang' those tunes and thats exactly what they did. But then again the audience were like zombies!
Symbol of beauty an royalty in afrikan culture. Plus susaye is way talented an fine ray charle@ etevie an new birth too much love a n respect the cherry on top of the super supremely indeed. Blkluv an blkpwr
Susaye Greene is absolutely horrible. I think she ruined the group most with her hysterical screaming and screeches. She has no skill for singing in harmony. Scherrie Payne's ignorance to understanding that this is a group performance doesn't help either. I think the problem with these Supremes was they could not function as a group, all battling to be heard with no attention to anything else going on. Too much shouting! Diana Ross & The Supremes (Diana, Mary, Flo/Cindy) make this lineup look like a joke! LOL

Mary looked like joke between those 2 she belonged in the background
@@davonchesmith9688 As opposed to the joke that made this comment.🙄😏

It was hard watching Mary talk about Florence :(
BEST Supremes song post Ross!!!!
They turn in out every time too!
Love it!

Here delivering their Billboard Top # 40 Pop Chart / Billboard Top # 25 R&B Chart / Billboard Top # 1 Disco Chart "HIT" - "Im Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking"!
So cool how they were able to do all of the lead and background parts that were originally multi-tracked on the recordings without missing a beat.
The mike Douglas show was like the Ed Sullivan show to the seventies supremes
This is a good one! Just as good as any! As all the ladies of the Supremes are known for doing and being! And they're just as beautiful as always!
What I also liked about this '70's set of Supremes(Mary, Scherrie, Cindy and Susaye) is that they were getting into wearing and styling their own hair instead of wearing wigs, wig pieces and extensions!!!

They had to wear there own hair, wigs were played out at this time.
Yes that is so true Calvin and they looked even more beautiful, and this was the 70's where artist were still wearing wigs and falls, but these girls had hair and natural beauty and wanted to show it
They are jamming tho! They sound great!
for a person who said u dont care for Mary, u seem to watch every video she is in and make a point to comment. Someone sounds a little fixated
The supremes have soul in this video
This was my favorite lineup of all of them.
RUDYNATACHA i agree
BEAUTIFUL. THANKS. FOR SHARING. THIS. !!! LOVE IT.
Great song. Should have been a bigger hit.
The audience looks like they are either sitting through a lecture in a PTA meeting or zoned out after Happy Hour on a cruise ship.
Wearing my FAVORITE of the famous Diana-Era gowns from her final performance with the group in Vegas
FYI- edtdavis.....This gowns were created for The TV Special "On Broadway" with The Temptations, since the 1960's when Cindy Birdsong replaced Florence Ballard, their stage gowns were always refitted and back on the road!
THANK YOU!!!
BRILLIANT observation from your part, only undisputed SUPREME talent can achieve that task!
They sound great. Too bad they weren't promoted as much as Miss Ross was.
RIP Mary Wilson 😔
Someday We'll Be Together!!! 💅💅💅
This footage is excellent
do anybody know if this song was used in american heart asssociation commercials.

I agree with you. The best line-up after Diana was Jean, Mary and Cindy.
These are the dresses from Git on Broadway with the Temptations.
i noticed david soul as a guest
That last stage of the group where the albums sounded better than the live versions.

Is it me...or is the "P" in Supremes in the background light burned out?? Is this how far the Suprenes had fallen lol
come on show some respect for susaye
Yeah it's out..no respect
Love you, TWTR4EVER! We have so much in common when it comes to the Supremes!
She is very pretty, yes indeed!
Great sound miss ross could not reach some of these notes
Why did the show stage them in front of the audience??????
Supremas!!!
Why are they singing with the audience behind them???
They arent machines everyone has off performances and that seemed really close to when flo died i can imagine mary being depressed and drained.
@@detroitcityman6622 I thought Cindy Birdsong left on her own accord.
They're wearing the same gowns they wore @ the Frontier Hotel Jan 14,1970
Just Like the Old Days, One Star Only, Scherrie Payne
Yes, Ms. Scherrie Payne the one that can sing circles around Diane Ross lol
its all about the horn hook at 0:56 and 1:31 - the sound on this recording is no good tho - its missing midrange or something? sounds like it was recorded thru a wet paper bag from the next room

Malcolm Marshall 101st RUclips account!
The Supremes were still wearing those 8 year old gowns from G.I.T. On Broadway .
the same with diana, she made and remade gowns over the years, they are saving ladies
These Girls Became Soulful... Putting Them In Front Of An Audience Like That.. They Did Not Understand It.. It Was Not Pop Music Anymore.
The audience were BORING.
just terrible
There's really no congruity to the performance. It's like each girl doing her own thing.
