And at the end of the performance, she tossed the earring to the left. Because, they were going into their melody of hits, I wished they showed this performance.
But the AMAZING thing though is at 2:04 when the earring falls from her ear, she actually CATCHES it in her left hand without a blink of the eye, and continues singing. What a pro, the show must go on.
By 1966, The Supremes were at the top of their game. The only female vocal group in music history that managed to get *twelve* number one hits in just *FIVE YEARS* (1964-1969)
I used to ride my bike to the 5 and dime store to buy the new Motown , or Beatles ,or Beach boys , or Tommy James and the Shondells Such memories.... we woooore these 45s out! I knew every beat.
..............the only American vocal group, male OR female, that managed to get twelve number one hits..............period!!! And, they did it in just 5 years!
I know I had to watch that a couple times to see when the earring came off and you correct she grab that professionally I'd love that group brings back memories
The Ed Sullivan show was likely remastered at some point from the original tapes, the crazy thing is they could probably get this kind of clarity out of all kinds of tapes that exist if they get to them in time, all these blurry bleary videos on youtube are just copies of some old vhs tape somebody made off t.v., the original film that the production company actually used are likely as clear as this Ed Sullivan show if they haven't been destroyed lost or neglected. We really need to push for as much of this stuff to be preserved as possible because once those tapes are deteriorated we will lose priceless performances that people will want to watch 100's of years from now. This is epic one of a kind, once in a lifetime stuff. There will never be a time when people don't want to look back and watch the Supremes.
@@LyonsArcade they are posting footage from the 50s that were preserved perfectly, every piece of footage they have needs to be put in a muesuem restored whatever you wanna call it shit is too important to music history. You cant find live performances of hits throughout time performed lived and in great quality.
Recorded originally on 2 inch videotape. That was a very high-quality format, and you rarely see things online that clearly were dubbed from the original, as this clearly was.
According to the Eyes of a Generation site, at that time the cameras used for the Ed Sullivan Show were Norelco PC-60s. Later on in 1967 Marconi MK-VII cameras were installed.
Mary was called the sexy one, but that title could've gone to Flo. Look at her rhythm as she moves her hips, that's why the guys in the crowd were obsessed with her.
Can someone from that time confirm what seems almost unbelievable to me? You had a television in your living room, and every evening, you were treated to this level of quality entertainment. What is the purpose of evolution if it takes us further away from the marvelous?
RIP Mary Wilson. This video shows what wonderful, professional performers they all were. Hard to believe they were all singing live with no backup, and the performance was flawless.
So true! They were all gorgeous and performed without fault... that’s talent! So sad, Mary’s unexpected passing.... I love the supremes, their music will live forever
Maybe the most iconic girl group of all time. They had it all: looks, talent and acclaim. But sad to say nothing lasts forever (RIP Florence and Mary) so let the good times roll. Thanks for the great post.
Flo Bladdard has got to be the most drop dead gorgeous, sophisticated, elegant, regal, and beautiful woman of music of all time. Did I forget gorgeous?
2:00 I understand now how the earring catch went so flawlessly... When she's dancing, the earring from her right ear falls, she catches it in the pit of her elbow that is holding the mic, and then finally drops it into her hand as it swings by. That's literally as smooth as it gets, you had to be paying really close attention to catch it live.
Flo just has this cool confidence when she’s preforming. Their performance is choreographed but she has a way of making it feel like she’s just out there vibing and doing whatever feels natural.
I'm so glad videos like this ,from the Supremes to the Temptation,the Beetles, Mama and Papas, the Doors, Rolling Stones, Aretha, the Stone Ponies, Led Z, 5 Dimension, Associations, Marvin&Tammie, Sonny&Cher, Grace S, the Jacksons, Box Tops, Eric C, Gladys K, Zombies, Turtles, and at lease 200 more I will enjoy until the day I die. Def can't forget Ike&Tina
I remember a documentary saying that a lot of girl groups fell out of popularity after the Beatles arrived. The Supremes were one of the very few exceptions that continued to see success through the changing landscape.
They sang the hell outta this song. Diana served around 1:30. And Flo and Mary were insync around 1:48. Iove this performance. All the rumors and crazy stories go out the window when i see this perfomnace. They Looked beautifu, smiles were white and bright and their gowns were exceptional as always.
As someone who was alive during the heyday of Motown, I will say these ladies were #1 across the board. If you knew they would be appearing on TV, you made sure you watched!
The Ronettes were kickass too. The amount of talent under the Motown label was/is incomparable. I am so lucky to have lived in the era of Rock and Motown. I was listening to Nights in White Satin this morning feeling so happy for the music of my generation.
African American really filled the world with the sweetest most beautiful music when you listen to groups like the Supreme they are class act ,but this generation is crazy they can't think there is no good quality words in today music
Diana's voice and presence fulfill our hearts in the best way! The earring catch is soooo wonderful, what a performancer she is! Flo and Mary looks very good too
That goes without saying. The strongest voice of the Supremes by far and your eyes just have to be glued to her. Still pisses me off that she was removed or they let her leave or whatever.
A massive trove of digitally restored clips from “The Ed Sullivan Show” will arrive online during the next three years, reviving more than 10,000 long-buried performances and guest appearances from the iconic variety show. The global streaming project launches today with seven clips on RUclips and other platforms - a Motown-dominated batch of videos that includes performances by Diana Ross & the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5 and Temptations and Gladys Knight & the Pips. They’re the tip of a cultural iceberg contained in the “Ed Sullivan Show” archives: The Sunday night program ran from 1948 through 1971 on CBS, piping the rock ‘ n’ roll revolution, Hollywood glitz and Detroit’s Motown sparkle into American living rooms alongside Broadway, opera, vaudeville, comedy and novelty acts.
Young people often don't understand how huge shows like Ed Sullivan and Tonight Show in its Here's Johnny heyday were. Closest thing today would be Super Bowl where a huge percentage of the population was watching the same show only it was every Sunday night for Sullivan show. A new group getting on was priceless.
No....rewatch the video if you can in slow motion..... the earring drops from her right ear to area below her neckline. She then takes her left hand grabs the earring and hold it with left hand until the song is finished, then quickly tosses the earring to the floor before the medley begins.
Man I don't think people understand just how good these ladies were....I mean damn THEY ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE GROUP IN HISTORY! Shut the front door...just beautiful !
Such a fine performance! Sung well, smiles all around, just enough movement to show their emotion but not distracting. If only performers today could emulate these ladies!
Wow!! This performance is better than the studio released single. And it’s just as fun as the performance The Supremes did with “love is like an itching in my heart” also on the Ed Sullivan show. And we have it on video to enjoy over and over and over.
Diana was the Supremes proof is when she left the group she took the glamour with her because neither of the back up singers were glamorous in their own right Diana was...........
@@mic6434 And proof is in media coverage of Mary's passing that it wasn't just about Diana. When you have a loving tribute in the NY Times, several minutes devoted to her on all 3 major networks (morning and night broadcasts), every cable channel, coverage in every major and local newspaper, every local TV station, media around the world, it renders the argument moot as to whom was the favorite. Fans fell in love with all 3 women. Nowhere this week did any reporter, commentator, or anchor reference "Diana Ross & The Supremes" they said Mary Wilson of The Supremes and called Diana her bandmate. Mary finally got the respect she deserved. Nobody and I mean nobody talked about Diana Ross in the way they talked about Mary this week. They treated Mary first among equals. RIP Miss Mary Wilson. Thank you for the music.
Female artistes these days would never have the grace and effortlessness that artistes from this era had ... it must've been a real joy watching them live
This video should be included in any professional course in showmanship. All three girls are flawless. Florence was happy and on fire (which was rare considering her mood swings), Mary gorgeous and in sync as always, Diana the epitome of an entertainer at such a young age with her incomparable charisma, the earring drop and then just discarding it at the end of the song is nothing short of mesmerizing. True talent never to be repeated. Cindy Birdsong filled in nicely after Flo's departure. Love me some Supremes!
The Ed Sullivan Show... still being watched 50 years (or more) after the shows have been broadcasted. I know the focus are on the artists but what a show it was!
This was an excellent performance and they looked beautiful. I especially love their dresses. Plus they took care of their bodies. That is also one of my favorite songs of theirs.
The beauty of growing up during this era, I was in elementary school when this song came out in the 60's. But still the 70's ushered in songs that were no longer 2 minutes an change. The 70's gave us 4 minutes and longer.

My favorite DMF performance! The tambourines, the dresses, the color lights in the background, the woman in the audience cheering them on at 1:33, the earring catch... perfection! The camera switching angles at 1:03 is one of my favorite moments of their Sullivan appearances. The Supremes at the top of their game! ❤
Diana Ross and Diana Rigg , my absolute most inspiring Entertainers in history. Both at the top of their game, and to think, I wasn't born until the 70's
Yes, since you weren't born until the 70's, that explains why you refer to Diane as your "absolute most inspiring entertainer." If you had been born earlier, you would be saying that THE SUPREMES were "your most inspiring entertainers." As I recall, Diane was once ONE of THEM, the most successful American vocal group in musical history!!!!! Their popularity was SO incredible that Diane and Mary are STILL enjoying solo careers over 50 years later. Flo, of course, is deceased.

I totally agree. I love the ed Sullivan show and the Johnny Carson show
At 2:05 Diana's earring falls off and she catches it without skipping a beat. What a professional.
well spotted...you're good..
Mary Wilson distracted me from noticing. Good lord she's gorgeous!
Vince Klortho She is still gorgeous. She is aging backwards.
You are observant!
And at the end of the performance, she tossed the earring to the left. Because, they were going into their melody of hits, I wished they showed this performance.
Earring falls and then the wig slips completely over her right eye! No time in the song to brush it back! That's onstage resilience!
But the AMAZING thing though is at 2:04 when the earring falls from her ear, she actually CATCHES it in her left hand without a blink of the eye, and continues singing. What a pro, the show must go on.

I know I had to watch that a couple times to see when the earring came off and you correct she grab that professionally I'd love that group brings back memories
@@marioescalante4401 and throws it to the side in the end! Yes lol. Throws it fast yet gracefully.

She probably just finished off a pint of Hennesey!
Florence once said all three Supremes would have a little "belt" or two right before showtime. Probably helped loosen them up and quell any nerves!
Flo was the pretty one. ❤
The men loved her when they went to the Philippines..they thought she was stacked.😉
Mary was called the sexy one, but that title could've gone to Flo. Look at her rhythm as she moves her hips, that's why the guys in the crowd were obsessed with her.
Rest in Peace Mary Wilson 😢
I know. I shed a tear. There will Never be another group like The Supremes
Rest in power ♥️
Rest in Peace Mary Wilson

The earring fell and she caught it. The smooth performance! What a professional!
Caught that earring without even looking away from the audience. The Supremes were extremely well trained. Excellence personified.
took me a bout 10 replays to spot that.
timestamp?
ok....Had to start at 2:02. Came off her right ear, then caught with her left hand?...so fast, so smooth,
Blink and you miss it.....whaaaaa..?
Can someone from that time confirm what seems almost unbelievable to me? You had a television in your living room, and every evening, you were treated to this level of quality entertainment. What is the purpose of evolution if it takes us further away from the marvelous?

Hard to believe they were all singing live with no backup, and the performance was flawless.
So true! They were all gorgeous and performed without fault... that’s talent! So sad, Mary’s unexpected passing.... I love the supremes, their music will live forever
I didn't even know Mary Wilson had died until I read this today, a year after. We are losing the best generation if singers!
I was a classmate of Diana Ross at Cass Tech in Detroit for 2 years. She’s very talented and came up the hard way.
Did she?
I wish I was in her class.. lol
I knew I wasn’t going to make the choir.
I have followed DIANA since 1966!! You must be impressed with her success?!!😂😂 Merry Christmas!!😂😂
Her and berry did flo wrong
Maybe the most iconic girl group of all time. They had it all: looks, talent and acclaim. But sad to say nothing lasts forever (RIP Florence and Mary) so let the good times roll. Thanks for the great post.
Diana puts the right amount of soul into every song she sings without over singing, while keeping her sound so clean.
Yesssssss
Florence is simply stunning and so statuesque. RIP Florence, love for you never dies!!!

The amazing earring catch!!!
The earring catch itself is legendary.
Diana singing has a way to fill your heart up with so much hope!
Ah so true! Love your comment... I’ve never heard a better description of Diana’s singing! 👏🏼
Three of the loveliest ladies to ever grace a stage.

About time
WOW!!!! I grew up on the Ed Sullivan show!!!
Young people often don't understand how huge shows like Ed Sullivan and Tonight Show in its Here's Johnny heyday were. Closest thing today would be Super Bowl where a huge percentage of the population was watching the same show only it was every Sunday night for Sullivan show. A new group getting on was priceless.
I always get tears of joy watching this!! Music at its best!
This music is uplifting for the soul
I was 11 and watching this performance on that Sunday night. Still my favorite Supremes hit.
From 1:57 to 2:06 Diana Ross' right earring comes off and slowly rolls to her shoulder and off her back but she didn't flinch at all...such a pro.
And within a year, by 1967, chicks wearing only one dangling earring was the latest fashion craze. Maybe Diana started it here!
Look again, Mrs. Lady D. Caught that ear ring with her left hand nand let the show continue
@@jameskookie You're right!! Good eye!! That makes it even more impressive. Wow.
It's what separates her from the rest. Her stage presence was unmatched!
No....rewatch the video if you can in slow motion..... the earring drops from her right ear to area below her neckline. She then takes her left hand grabs the earring and hold it with left hand until the song is finished, then quickly tosses the earring to the floor before the medley begins.
I love Diana Ross, she has the most beautiful smile. I would love to meet her and sing with her. I love to hear her sing. God Bless you Diana.
A lot of people may not know this, but the Supremes had the last number one hit of the 60's....Someday We'll Be Together...Dec 27th 1969.
Wow, cool fact! Would have loved to have seen them live in ‘69
And the FIRST NO. 1 hit of January 1, 1970.
Flo was on that night!! A beautiful woman with a voice and style! 🥰
Man I don't think people understand just how good these ladies were....I mean damn THEY ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE GROUP IN HISTORY! Shut the front door...just beautiful !
The backdrop, the dresses, the singing🤍wow to go back in time
Flo is freaking gorgeous, a real beauty Queen. Look at her glowing here.
Flo glows!
Such a fine performance! Sung well, smiles all around, just enough movement to show their emotion but not distracting. If only performers today could emulate these ladies!
The beautiful Supremes. I love how Diana catches her earring ( around 2:05..) so carefully after it fell off her ear so calmly you barely noticed it.😊
Diana Ross and Florence Ballard are NOT in this clip
Wow!! This performance is better than the studio released single. And it’s just as fun as the performance The Supremes did with “love is like an itching in my heart” also on the Ed Sullivan show. And we have it on video to enjoy over and over and over.
Florence was so beautiful. And lol @ Diana catching her earring at 2:05.
She's the greatest.
Damn Damn Damn...still the greatest female group of all time.
Indeed, these girls were amazing
I can feel the joy in the heart of Ms. Florence when she is singing in this performance.
Professionals!!! Diana didn’t miss a beat when that earring fell.
What gets me is she knew it, must have felt it hit her and slide or roll down. lol
She loved those Earrings.. I have noticed them w other outfits/videos
1:05-1:20 is pure magic. All 3 perfectly lined up. Diana lovers can say she made the group but those 5 seconds bring me so much joy!
Diana was the Supremes proof is when she left the group she took the glamour with her because neither of the back up singers were glamorous in their own right Diana was...........
@@mic6434 And proof is in media coverage of Mary's passing that it wasn't just about Diana. When you have a loving tribute in the NY Times, several minutes devoted to her on all 3 major networks (morning and night broadcasts), every cable channel, coverage in every major and local newspaper, every local TV station, media around the world, it renders the argument moot as to whom was the favorite.

Legendary Ladies, right here 🏆⭐
WHAT MEMORIES!! 🤗💗💗💗
It is so pleasant to see those beautiful ladies, with their shiny smiles and sugary voices. It always melts my heart.
Diana Ross and Diana Rigg , my absolute most inspiring Entertainers in history. Both at the top of their game, and to think, I wasn't born until the 70's
Yes Diana Ross and Emma Peele love it
Yes, since you weren't born until the 70's, that explains why you refer to Diane as your "absolute most inspiring entertainer." If you had been born earlier, you would be saying that THE SUPREMES were "your most inspiring entertainers." As I recall, Diane was once ONE of THEM, the most successful American vocal group in musical history!!!!! Their popularity was SO incredible that Diane and Mary are STILL enjoying solo careers over 50 years later. Flo, of course, is deceased.
Wow what a contrast the 2 Dianas.
They rocked this performance ❤❤❤
Lovely Diana
This is pretty much one of the best songs ever
