The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

This performance is just electrifying. Mary is so gorgeous and perfectly on point. Florence looks dignified and amazing... and Diana just lets loose and rides this song like a wave. When her head gets to boppin, you know it's gonna be a great performance.
Best evah it's electric
agreed! Had a major crush on Mary
The wave was riding Lady Diana
Mary quite contrary ❤
I don't care who you are. This rocks! Electric is a great description! Diana's eyes when she gives the "come here" sign with her finger! I don't know what it is, but she's got it!
No matter what anybody say, to me it was all three Diana, Mary, Flo as a team that made it so magical. It was a perfect combination.
exactly
I agree 💯
yep, boy this brings me back and almost brings the boy crush back on Diana. lol
You're sooo right!!
Too bad Diana and berry Gordy didn’t see it that way
Flo and Mary look exquisite in their hair and gowns!!
Mary!! So beautiful!! RIP to her ❤
And RIP to Florence
@@jaysinger9941 yes Mary is reunited with her true Sister Supreme Florence Ballard. RIP beautiful ladies 🙏🙏🙏
@@georginahawcroft8044 I thought Flo was really cute
@@geddy55 yes I thought so to she had an innocent look about and she had a great sense of humour. She should have been lead singer she founded the group and named it. I never liked Diana Ross anyway the way she and Berry Gorrdy treat her was awful ....
@@georginahawcroft8044 I always had a crush on Diana Ross when I was a boy, but what you say wasn't nice, ya Flo was the creator of the Primettes and lead singer first.
This is pure gold. On Sundays, it was Church and Ed Sullivan. Saturday nights belonged to Lawrence Welk. Happy times. Everybody was here back then 😊❤
Would love to bring back those days as well as the loved ones we had back then! ❤
RIP Flo and Mary
“The girls here!” I love this part😂
Not easy to grow old!
His memory dificulty was showing for a year already.
Old ‘stoneface’ never could remember names! God bless you Ed!
BIDEN FART
@@elifoust7664 What
those girls were on fire during this performance! You can tell that Ed loved them dearly.
He loved them so much, He forgot the name of their group!!!!!!
@@JafarWade1970 possibly…Ed was up there in age and this happens to the best of us…Regards!
This may be their greatest performance
So it seemed didn't push just 1 on that stage more than bout any body. Good show reely. The greatest show on earth sista at a zenith blkluv an blkpwr
He was rude didn't introduced them the proper way that weird looking cat!
Mary and Florence are absolute angels.x
✨️1967 🎵
The Cameramen did a good job here. Gave Mary and Florence their time in the spotlight too. Mary was eating it up and Florence had a sweet smile. This is the Supremes as I liked them best.
i totally agree, they were both very beautiful and this is how all the videos should have been
i know I am kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?
@Conrad Xzavier Yup, been using Flixzone for since march myself =)
@Conrad Xzavier thanks, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!
@Dayton Devin happy to help =)
Even after all these years and nearly 50 years after her death...when I see Florence Ballard, I fall in love all over again with her. ❤️
Florence was my favorite Supreme. That smile and those looks on her face will make anyone fall in love with her.
R.I.P Mary Wilson Always Understood The Assignment 🤩
I sure do appreciate what Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard brought to these performances. Taking a moment to remember the late, multi-talented Frank DeVol, a rare Motown "outsider" who collaborated with Holland-Dozier-Holland to write "The Happening".
A great 👍 song.
Flo and Mary were the SOUL of the group...as for Ms Ross..no comment.
Frank DeVol aka "Happy Kyne" on "Fernwood Tonight"
@@dougmilesmedia That's the one! 👍
@@Dion_Mustard i can't say what I want to. But yes Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson were the soul of the group and very close too.
The orchestra on this show really elevated this song's already upbeat harmony and sound. Definitely complimented the girls' performance.
Mary said in her book that Flo was wearing her natural hair for this performance. This was also Flo's last performance on Ed Sullivan
It's so sad for Florence Ballard and so damn right cruel BG and DR should hang thier heads in shame.
It was so messed up for her to be booted in July of '67.
Should have stuck with the fake hair 😉
@@lucasoheyze4597 You probably don't have any.
@@lucasoheyze4597 her natural hair is fine.
Mr Ed Sullivan was a Huge fan of 'the girls'. 🤗👌
He was such a huge fan of "the girls" that he couldn't remember the name of the group.
Mary was fiercely beautiful in this performance...
I always loved her beautiful sleepy eyes that would burst open from time to time...
The camera blocking and direction on this number was topnotch...
The Ed Sullivan show was at the top of their game...
Theatrical Diana with her fabulous distinctive voice, Mary looking incomparably beautiful, and voluptuous Flo obviously enjoying the limelight. Its just impossible to totally understand such exceptional talent all one can do is be mesmerized in amazement ;-)
Flo looked happy and beautiful.
Oddly enough the lyrics hit home to her career. Eery!!!
Mary how beautiful thou art...
Spectacular! Such beauty, the voices, the glamour, the pride and confidence, the tempo of the music. Obviously they took Ed's breath away. He could only intro them as "the girls". I was a proud little girl watching them live on the Sullivan show that night.
Hello K luv. How are you doing today 😊😊?
Beautiful!
Lady Di. , Flo ever , Q Mary . Ed must have lost it after the show.. His show was top clean fun . I bet it's was why the have a theater named after him .
Mary was always the most beautiful one! We will miss you, Mary!
Mary was indeed beautiful! So sad her sudden passing... lovely till the end
@@mattc2094 Agreed
Love it when during the "it happened to me and it can happen to you" line when Flo and Mary first point at themselves with their left thumb then extend their right arm and point outwardly with their right index fingers
Flo's last appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show and she is glowing!
They look stunning in all types of colors and gowns
They look gorgeous
April 1967 saw The Supremes as our Spring Concert at Univ. of Tenn. sing The Happening, released one month earlier in March, and many more songs. Great performance!
They are cranking out The Supremes' performances now after Mary's passing! Thank you!
Yes, they are Jay. I want to see "In And Out of Love" performance. This is when Ms. Mary wore her blond wig. And I think it's the same show, were the ladies performed with The Temptations. Performing each other songs.
I love the choreography and group formation. It’s nice to see Mary front and center. The camera person worked overtime on this performance. Great shots of Diana coupled with Flo and Diana coupled with Mary. Diana’s wig with that huge flip in front is so 60s and shows her flare for the extreme while Flo and Mary wear wigs that are more subdued.
It’s great that we’re getting all these Supremes’ videos but how coincidental is it that they are being released after Mary’s death. Too bad they hadn’t been released while she had still been with us so she could enjoy them too. It would have made her happy and she could have taken pride in all the work she had done to keep the Supremes’ legacy alive.
Flo's wig is amazing, completely the opposite of what the Supremes were known for. That short pixie style looks amazing on her too. Probably her best look, outside of the pageboy.
Who has the gowns, etc. ? ❤️🎶
Mary is in the middle because Flo had hauled off on Diana a couple of times. Ms Ballard and Ms Ross did not perform next to each other the last while. Just what I've read.
The Supremes sound so beautiful and look beautiful too.has the word LEGEND written all over them!
Awesome!!
This is my favorite TV performance from this lineup. The angles, the gowns, the energy of the song. I love it.
We can call them one of the best groups ever . Have you ever watched them performed live Melody maker ?
So true
Mary took fabulous to the next level in this clip. Wooohooo!
great summer song sung by three delightful ladies
The best female group of all-time by far!!!
Thats a fact, Destiny's child next.
Indeed it is the best Female group of all time Denise . I am a big fan of their songs and they are what i call Talented .
You seem pretty Fascinating and i definitely would really like for us to be friends .
So true
The Three Degrees as well.
The words to this song are surreal for Blondie. This is LITERALLY like her LIFE STORY regarding her music career!! Her facial expressions on certain lyrics could tell it all on here!!!
What’s even more chilling is that this is her last performance on Ed Sullivan.
Very good performance. They're all so beautiful and vibrant.
Wonderful clip of the original 3 Supremes. We will forever miss the heart and soul of the group...Mary & Flo!
Indeed, we miss you Mary and Flo.... they were a brilliant trio, so sad how things turned out... but so glad got to see and hear them on RUclips... truely one of a kind group
Mary and Florence were the real voices of the group in my opinion … but I do believe Diana possessed something only she could add to the image and sound of the group.
@@ryandejuan9934 Truly. People disparage Mary and Flo's input into the group, but each added a particular piece to the dynamics. When someone says that it was all about Diana and that anyone could support her that's not really so. I won't disparage Cindy Birdsong in any way because I believe she was/is a true talent, but when Flo left, the Supremes weren't the same Never mind that the girls' vocals weren't utilised properly, that 'three as one' aspect of the original group had been irrevocably shattered.
@@ryandejuan9934 this is true
@@andrewthornhill7042over time, Ross GREW to be very confident and comfortable as a vocalist. Initially she wasn't. Just very cocky. When Flo was lowkey being ousted, Ross wanted her out but in the same breath was scared that she wouldnt be able to carry the show without Flo.
Mary is flawless may she rest in peace
So talented.
This is the best' visual' TV performance of 'The Girls' great camera work the way they go back and forth,and Flo looks happy and beautiful ,she was ready for us mere mortals
The most 60's song ever!
I never get tired of this performance.
I think this is my all time favorite by them, So upbeat, and wonderful vocals. Their dresses are beautiful, as are they!
Man I wish Florence was still here with us .
U and me both
Yes. This is my era. I remember when they first came out. I actually remember when Motown was starting out
And Mary.
@D M Thanks. I’m 78
Flo is super cute in this one.
One of their best performances! All 3 ladies shine in their own way. We can see how regal Florence was and how accurate Diana is when she describes her as such. Mary’s coolness is on display here. Diana’s flare for the dramatics while blending said drama with fun is evident. All 3 bring their own brand to this iconic performance. “The Happening” was their 10th number one song and they proved that they could have hits that weren’t penned by Holland-Dozier-Holland.
When the movie was released, I went to the cinema to see the movie that this was the title song for and the movie wasn’t good but it was great to sit in the cinema listening to The Supremes’ sound filling the entire theater.
Frank DeVol joined HDH to write this hit so it wasn’t an exclusive HDH song.
Indeed, the supremes were a power house act... they all were amazing in this song... and 10 number 1 hits is a real feat! Did you see the movie because you knew the supremes were singing the sound track?
Matt C
Yes! The only reason I saw the movie was because of The Supremes singing the title song. I had already seen The Supremes on the big screen in some teenage beach movies so this wasn’t a first but I wouldn’t miss any chance to see “the girls” no matter the circumstances. I’d even sit through a really bad movie!
Who knew that six years later I’d be standing in lines that went around blocks to see Diana in Lady Sings the Blues?
The Supremes always had an affinity with movies and Hollywood.
One of my favorite Supremes songs.
What a beautiful sound….such talent and beauty.
One of my favorite supreme's songs, Diana's voice was made for this song...lol..it's like magic the way she has that big smile and sings beautifully at the same time.
This was absolutely fantastic. I could not stop smiling. All three ladies are so professional and a complete gift here.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Historic performance.
the energy, wow, such a light performance.
all bright and lively, the supremes. plus the airtime flo and mary had, amazing.
I loved this song!!
How can you watch this and not get goose bumps?
Diana Ross performs with so much joy and has so much charisma in personality and voice that you can't help but fall in love with her. She was only 23 in this performance--truly born to be a star.
Absolutely💯
Nothing but magic when the Supremes performed. And no lip syncing. Something about Diana’s child like voice and the beautiful background vocals that made The Supremes stand head and shoulders above all the other girl groups in that era. And they had so many great hits that still sounds good. RIP Mary & Flo. Gone but never will be for gotten.
Diana carried herself well, along with having a terrifically good singing voice, femininity, and dressed formally in long evening gowns. The Supremes looked....welll....supreme --certainly against the casualness of competitors and the times, when hippie sloppiness and weird psychedelic garb began to work its way through certain socio-economic classes. There was a revolt among white Boomers to dressing up---from which we really haven't recovered to any meaningful degree.
even more today
They were happening!
The quality of The Ed Sullivan Show videos are fantastic! They are much better than videos I see from the 70's and even some from the 80's.
I really enjoy the clips that include the introduction by Ed Sullivan. These look so great for 55 year old color videotape. Thanks so much for sharing this with us 😎
This is such a lovely up-beat Motown song with the saddest lyrics. Really love it.
I love love love this performance. They all looked so happy and enjoying their perfomance🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Magical! The greatest trio EVER!
I always loved Flo with short hair 😍
I know, it's not just me, that can see, but the camera LOVES flo. She just draws it's attention !
Just listening to the Supremes' makes me feel great! What a wonderful group!
The voice, face and stage presence of the Legend and Icon that is Diana Ross. Magical!
The Supremes would never have happened without Flo's drive and vision. ♡
Neither Flo nor Mary had any X-Factor. Sorry but true. Berry knew who belonged front & center.
Flo came up with the name (the supremes).
@@chasenip2 thats not true. Any one of these ladies could have been pushed and made into the star. Dont forget. Mary and Flo didnt get the constant support that Ross got, and think of how that must've made them feel. As young girls in their early 20s I'm sure that was a blow to the ego and self-confidence and I'm pretty sure they were hurt - not only by Berry slighting them but their so-called friend and bandmate jumping on the bandwagon with him as well. Must've been tough.
@@chasenip2 Not true!! "Berry knew who belonged front & center" for sure, the one who would go to bed with him!!
Stop it already!
I’m young than 40 and I’m so proud of Motown
I love love love that song and that performance soo much!!
The gowns are just priceless***
The Happening
Magic. Right in front of our eyes. Can't imagine the energy that goes into this wizardry. 👏👏👏💖💖💖
Happy Heavenly '78th' Birthday to dear Florence today (June 30, 2021). We Miss you ! I'm shooore Florence, you & Mary are providing the Vocals up above today... God Bless your Soul, mi favourita...
Wow they were so beautiful especially Flo and Mary. Their dresses were so beautiful. Sometimes Diana had a sexy voice.
Pretty ladies. Got some class girls!
Berry Gordy wanted the Motown sound to be heavy on bass. That was unique, as songs were usually light on the bass. All of the Supremes song has heavy bass, and this really adds depth to the overall sound.
Mr. James Jamerson
Love their sparkling light green outfits and their sparkling jewelry they look so gorgeous and beautiful 😍😍😍
Ed must have really liked them or this song. He seemed into it. This is a GREAT performance. RIP Ed, Florence and Mary.
SO HAPPY this is HD sound quality! Thank You!!
There is such a unique vibe and presence music from the 60's and 70's that will never be duplicated. From Motown to Pop to Rock and Country that captivated and set the standard for timeless music. The Supremes, Temptations, Smokey Robinson, The Beach Boys, Herman's Hermits, Jefferson Airplane and Johnny Cash are just a few of my favs. My list goes on and on.
Flo looks stunning here! She was a beautiful woman with what we now call a full figure. With her structure, it would have been ridiculous for her to look like a toothpick. 45 years after her passing, I'm still sad that it all spiraled down for her after her departure from The Supremes. I wish she could have lived to see her daughters grow up. Rest in peace Flo. You have many fans who love you.
Rest In Peace flo .. she’s such a rare and special person Cindy and still miss hearing her sing .. Dod you ever went to any of their concerts ?
Full figured was in back then so I dont know what the big deal was. And lets be honest. Cindy was bigger than Flo. Flo was just taller.
The short pixie hair was very flattering on Flo
@Giselle She was before my time too and I love her dearly. I think a gofundme needs to be started to put a better headstone on her grave. Something upright with a beautiful picture of her on it.
@@ceeceetracey9839 good idea” should’ve been happened, better late than never… I guess..
My favorite Supremes clip!!
Diana was just energized in this performance. her expressions were so happy and voice perfect.
This brings a smile to my face, great performance and great fashion
When Mr. Ed said "THE GIRLS" with that expression, u knew he loved and adored them ,
Man! Ed loved The Supremes.
The amount of times I’ve come here for 3 minutes of pure joy and happiness ❤️ LOVE it ❤️ especially the fickle finger of fate bit 😄❤️
No one can deny Diana Ross’ contribution to the group, but it was Mary and Florence who created the mystic of the Supremes. The glamour the choreography the harmony...all that separated them from the countless girl groups. They were a group in the beginning and that’s what made them a success. The three together.
TRUE
@Giselle I dont even think Mary HINTED at it. She just SAID it. LOL. And how hard she had to work to adjust her sound to fit Cindy's.
@Giselle yeah,I think you are right.Andantes sang on quite a few supreme songs.Did read that Andantes sang all the backing on love child.
@Giselle, yes. And when Diana left, even more so. They had a perfect combination. Their voices blended. And even though Diana's replacement Jean Terrell had technically a better voice and they still continued to make some great music, their voices never quite blended as well.
Well said.
My personal favourite Supremes song, and I adore the way they performed it here. I'm in love with every single facial expression Diana was making throughout this.
I’m in love with Diana, period 😝 marvellously talented, her enthusiasm definitely stood out
Matt
Well said. She is what attracted me to the group. How can anyone resist her yearning to please the audience?
@@RP-oe3uq I think audiences responded to that raw enthusiasm that shone through in every performance... even on RUclips video it’s palpable
Great performance that makes ya fall in love with all of them. At 2:24 Diana's personality just jumps out at you, and goosebumps when she sing 'Yeah I'm riding high on top of the world'. You can see the sheer joy she felt singing this song. James Jamerson's baseline is such a masterful and driving force and ya can't help but move your body and bob your head, especially when they modulate up at the end. Ok, Lemme go rewatch again...
Ed Sullivan really loved these ladies, or "the girls!" as he always endearingly called them, and Sullivan did a lot to see that they succeeded in their careers. I love the "yeah!" he gives out as the song ends. A truly great song by truly great artists!
Diana is just beaming in this performance! Mary looks stunningly hot, such a shame Flo would be out, she had an amazing soulful voice
It was a shame if Flo had any sense she would've let Diana leave which everyone knew was going to happen as soon as 66' If she thought she was that great she would've certainly taken over singing lead. However she let drugs,alcohol and a man take her down the wrong path ... A shame indeed.
@@anthonyyusef5897 why don't you shut your disrespectful mouth. You are always badmouthing Florence Ballard and it's getting boring now. Go tell the wall.
@@georginahawcroft8044 Anthony Yusef is absolutely correct! She could have taken the Supremes to the next level in the 70's! She decided to self destruct! She could have been victorious!
@@michellekirkendall818 So many so called Supremes fans hate on Diana so much; however, they overlook that Florence's erratic behavior put the business we call 'The Supremes' in jeopardy by her frequent missing of recording sessions, missing performances, showing up late, and outbursts in front of industry people. She did not act professionally in fulfilling her duties as a reliable member of the group. Can you imagine fans showing up at a concert and learning that someone again had to step in for Florence? Sure, she had experienced some trauma; however, the Supremes could not stop while she got herself back together.
RIP Mary my favourite and special supreme
The girls here!
Oh Ed. Bless ya!
happy birthday dear Diana
They always sang this song with such an energy! Really inspirational
Just seeing these ladies again is like Christmas, it was always a gift, like their Silver Bells rendition...Love You Miss Ross, rip Mary and Florence...Thank you for the video..
Sweet Florance is cooking on this performance.
My eyes were only on Florence! Sweet, lovely woman, who truly had a beautiful voice.
Her final performance with them tho..
@@pianoman551000 Blondie!! Lol
@@oxyquan313 The words to this song is literally like her biography 😢
Literally !
Ed Sullivan must have really loved this group because they made many appearances on his show. So much so, he simply called them the girls.
Regardless of race The Supremes, in short order evolved into Pop music's most elegant, diverse and electric group history has ever known.
I nearly cry every time I watch them perform, sadness over the back story of how they were handled and tears can be giddy with joy, because the music is so astonishing good.
I was 15 in 1967. Everybody appeared on Ed’s show!
I love how the audience is dressed so nicely and clap so politely yet enthusiastically - but today ....
