For me the most charming detail of this, other than Miss Ross's delightful raspiness and her playful diction, is the way she CATCHES the falling earring! It falls into the crook of her mic arm, she releases and catches it in the other hand, and uses it to beat against her hip like a tambourine. Now THAT, ladies and gents, is showmanship.
When music was music, these girls could sing led by the great Diana Ross. Back in the 60's they had hit after hit, my favorite is " MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU". The Ed Sullivan show was where many singers, groups and comedians got their start.
The Supremes has enough material to keep you going for decades! Where do I begin.......You would love the lyrics to “The Happening”. “Reflections” is also amazing. This is like going down an ABBA rabbit hole.
I totally agree. They look great and they sing amazing!! But I must ask, why do you think that there is something wrong with dressing like a hooker? Does it make you less of a person if you sell sex? Men and women that sell sex are not second class citizens. We as a society have failed if that is the choice they feel that they have to make to survive. Unless it is a profession they have chosen because they like it.
What can I say Suzie,. I came from the 50s. . The way it was back then compared to know is way way different. Maybe hooker is to strong of a word,but I wouldn't want my kid dancing on t.v. half dressed,. Would you ????👍👍💞
Nikki, I would have no problem with it, implicitly that she is an adult at the time. It is her choice, I would just want her to be aware of what the consequences are/could be. But that goes for everything In life.🙂💖
Dereck! I love u man, but u just keep getting gayer and gayer. I mean this in the most respectable way ever! No judging or shade. Keep on going bro, great reactions. :) :)
I was a teenager then, 14 in 66. Do the math!!! I loved the Supremes. They were great live. I hope you enjoy them. This was so good I bought the single. Back in the day we bought singles! They are wearing sequins which are still worn today but were very popular in the 60s. My mom had several items made of them. Mics are overhead usually. Try this one, it will blow your socks off ruclips.net/video/UmtvkBTTU2o/видео.html or this version ruclips.net/video/bpL1TTxffO0/видео.html This is I hear A Symphony which I think is, for me, is their best song. I freaking love it. Even if you listen just for yourself. You will love it. I promise. I have not disappointed you yet.
I was in sixth grade when this came out, and loved the Supremes. "I Hear a Symphony" and "The Happening" are two more favorites (The Happening) being a song they did for a movie.
Mary Wilson's sexy alto filler voice & Florence Ballard's soulful soprano voice sound so great.. in those days they had what they call boom mics above the singers on live shows sometimes.. Miss Wilson gave the BEST concerts on her own. Between The 1960s & 1970s, Mary Wilson with all the several Supremes had 23 million selling singles & 50 singles that made the Music charts.. Check out & react on some of Mary Wilson's 70s Supremes hits or her solo.. also Florence Ballard.. Rest In Heaven Our Lady Mary,, Lady SUPREME Mary Wilson & The Soulful Supreme Florence Ballard.. Rock N Roll, R&B, Motown, Popular Music Royalty...
Diana Ross and the Supremes - the 2nd most successful group of the 1960s! The Beatles were # 1. Diana Ross and Supremes had 12 # 1 songs - you should check out all of them - especially Love Child, Baby Love, I Hear a Symphony, The Happening, Stop in the Name of Love, etc. :)
Also: "MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU"; "COME SEE ABOUT ME"; "SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER"; "WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO"; "REFLECTIONS"; "BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN" ~ Yes, they were HUGE, and second to the Beatles in record sales / popularity in the 1960's. The Supremes are in the record books for having (12) Billboard #1 Pop Hits, a first for a black group at that time. Also, Diana Ross had (6) Billboard #1 Pop hits as a solo act in the 1970's/80's, which was a record for female pop artists till Whitney and Madonna eclipsed her in the 1980's-90's ~ PEACE and I enjoy your channel ~Thanks ~!!!
Mostly. Diana, Mary and Cindy did lip sync to their first "Love Child" performance on "Sullivan" in September 1968. They did sing it live the second time they sang it on the show in '69.
My uncle was friends with Mary Wilson. She’s the nicest person. Unfortunately, my uncle passed in the mid 80s. But Mary still keeps in contact with my father and always invites my parents to her shows when she comes in town.
I Knew Mary Wilson RIP Founding Member Of The Supremes Knew Mary Wilson RIP Personally Over The Years Til Her Passing We Hungout Shopping Dinner Parties Concerts Etc
When Diana's head gets ta boppin, you KNOW it's gonna be a stellar performance. They look and sound amazing here, also check out "The Happening" also from Ed Sullivan, that performance is electrifying. Mary and Flo most time perform with a "boom mic" which is above their heads right out of camera shot. If you ever watch old episodes of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, Johnny has a mic on his desk, and all his guests don't have one... they use a boom mic above thier heads. BTW.. those sequins they are wearing are called "fish scale" sequins.
I'm so disappointed. I saw "Supremes" and "You Can't Hurry Love" and immediately thought this was going to be a reaction to the TNT Boys from "Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids 2018." Keifer's Diana Ross was spot-on.
Also: "MY WORLD IS EMPTY WITHOUT YOU"; "COME SEE ABOUT ME"; "SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER"; "WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO"; "REFLECTIONS"; "BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN" ~ Yes, they were HUGE, and second to the Beatles in record sales / popularity in the 1960's.

Dereck..... Diana was VERY AWARE that her earring came off. Go back and watch and REALLY WATCH and you will see that the earring falls off and hits her dress and she quickly swoops up the earring with her left hand holds it until the end of the song. Then she throws the earring quickly to the floor before she starts the second song. (which is not seen in this shortened video).
If you look closely, you can see that when her earring falls, she catches it with her left hand and holds it in her hand until the end of this song. While she is bowing, I look closely and you can see that she throws it off stage. She’s a very remarkable person. She caught the earring without even looking down. She reached in front of her body, caught the earring while staring in the camera and not missing a beat. No one can do that. I highly recommend that when you listen to a great record, like this one, did you listen to it all the way through as you are missing part of the greatness which is the way to record builds. You’ve heard this record before because it’s a classic. It’s known internationally around the world this very day.
The earring thing was a trick. Diana was practicing magic at that time and caught it, then threw it on the stage towards then end, you know like when she threw her fur later on Motown 25 in 1983. (Take a good look).
I was 12 - when the Supremes WERE supreme! Contextually having lived this era in real-time it’s important to understand that the Beatles then were already huge, that in life, as a teenager there were only two pathways for individualising your teenage musical identity ie The Beach Boys and the Brit Invasion pop rock OR Motown and both Black and Blue-Eyed Soul. I chose Motown specifically because of the Supremes and more specifically this song! My pathway to a lifetime soundtrack of hopes and dreams was this very track. A12 year old kid chose Motown and the rest is - life !
As was stated by someone here, there were overhead mikes for Mary and Florence. In addition, when Diane's earring came off, I don't know how she did it but she was holding the earring in her hand if you take a close look.
Do Super,Super cool.Phil Collins was Duran good but with this particular song, nobody sang it better than The Supremes.Nobody.Could you play a episode that came out back in the day when I was a little boy? I really would appreciate it and of course your reaction if you would. Yes it was before they had color t.v., FM.Radio and all of that. Anyway it was called, "The Amos n' Andy Show". The episode was, "Dealing with being Gay in the 1950's". I'm not gay but growing up through the years, I have known a few people who were. I was just wondering what you would have done if you were The Kingfish. Anyway hope you had a Beautiful Merry Christmas and I hope that this coming New Year will be a happier one with many, many others. Aanyway, young man have a blessed day. God bless you. P.S...The Amos n' Andy also use to come on the radio before thay came on t.v. but unfortunately, I missed it. Goodbye.
Really enjoy your reviews. U pick up on such detail i have totally missed even tho i grew up with these gr8 artists in the background. I was born in 1967 & am in UK. Grew up loving a wide range of music swirling around as i grew up. This was covered by Phil Collins I just remembered. Addicted to your channel, learning so much. Love seeing u learn & love doing so. And share with us as u go. Stay well.💕
No only did her ear ring fell off but she caught the ear ring and kept singing without missing a beat like s true professional that she showed herself to be even then and they where very young early just out of there teen's.
The Adantes sometimes sang way behind Mary & Florence on some recordings. The industry calls it sweetening, it was very common in recording groups unfortunately..The Fifth Dimension, The Ronettes The Vandellas, Marvellettes, 4 Tops, Temptations and many others.. But Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard always held there own & you can always hear Ms. Wilson & Ms. Flo's voices on the recordings...
Tony! I would LOVE for you to react to the POST Diana Supremes, especially The Supremes of the 70's with Jean Terrell replacing Diana Ross! They went ON to have more HOT hits, and recordings even tho' they stopped getting the 'attention' from the Record Company and suppoprt to VAUNT them, they were NO LESS "SUPREME" and Much Worthy of international acclaim and attention just as the originals were. And Mary Wilson carried them on until the disband in 1077, when she then went solo! Please, if you will, look into some of their things, starting with "Up The Ladder To The Roof" , "Stoned Love", and hopefully, my favorite, "Bad Weather". There were Many More in between too, such as "Floy Joy" which featured a duet with Mary Wilson! Thanks, C.J.
You heard the song sung by Phil Collins who recorded his version about two decades later, Supremes and Funk Bro's far superior, Ross sang in a lower key back then instigated by songwriters HDH
They had an overhead mike. Florence didn't feel well enough to make the session so Berry Gordy pulled Marlene Barrow from the background group, The Andantes, to fill in for her on the song. After discovering that no one noticed the difference, Berry decided to use The Andantes on later songs by the group to fill in for Mary and Florence or Cindy when they were on tour and he could only afford to fly Diana in for the session. Please also check out their appearance on Ed Sullivan singing "The Happening", which was Florence's last TV appearance with the group.
Fantastic Motown group - I LOVE their earlier songs from 1962-64 before Where Did Our Love Go. It is WELL documented Ms Diana Ross was HARD WORK to say the least. Basically she has always been a difficult demanding Diva so Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard ultimately became background singers. Such is show business. There is always one singer pushed to the front (Beyonce as an example). As much Diana is a great and talented singer, i wouldn't like to try get her autograph in the airport. She's one of those celebs who thinks she is a cut above the rest. Her daughter Rhonda is adorable.
Pls react to their original single “Together We Fly” -Wish Bus US -Wish 107.5 You might want to react to any of their pre-puberty to their performances in: -Little Big Shots UK -Little Big Shots US Somebody to Love -Little Big Australia
The mic was probably the one they have on crane that's above them out of camera shot, it was controlled by a man sitting on the end directing it being very careful not to be seen, I'm sure he had head phones so the control booth could direct him and communicate
This song was written for The Supremes by Holland Dozier Holland. Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard were not the voices that sang the songs in the studio. They were for visual effects until Barry Gordy realized that they could sing also.
Supremes and other acts utilized what's known as a BOOM MIC while performing on the Sullivan show. Boom mic is what is used while filming television shows and movies, suspended above the shot. You almost caught it - apparently you didn't see Diana CATCH the earring when it fell off her hear! Haha Holland Dozier Holland, Motown's in house song writers
The only ladies that could hold their own against the likes of Elvis and The Beatles. That's why they are the best Girl Group in history!
Incredible. She literally caught her earing with her left hand after the instrumental break. She tosses it behind her in the very end.
Derek, No other group in history was more aptly named because they were truly Supreme! I remember the Supremes era and music like it was yesterday.
Flo and Mary had overhead mic's, a common practice during this period that is why many singers didn't move around much.
Mic sometime when they perform they had fake mic
When people who couldn't sing ... Didn't
For me the most charming detail of this, other than Miss Ross's delightful raspiness and her playful diction, is the way she CATCHES the falling earring! It falls into the crook of her mic arm, she releases and catches it in the other hand, and uses it to beat against her hip like a tambourine. Now THAT, ladies and gents, is showmanship.

I totally agree. They look great and they sing amazing!!
But I must ask, why do you think that there is something wrong with dressing like a hooker? Does it make you less of a person if you sell sex? Men and women that sell sex are not second class citizens. We as a society have failed if that is the choice they feel that they have to make to survive.

@@stonesandrock1567 why would someone want to look like a hooker?
Agree, looked class, appeal, clean. Not encouraging unnecessary appeal.
I also like the cover by Phil Collins (1982).
But I prefer the original version a little bit more.
Dereck! I love u man, but u just keep getting gayer and gayer. I mean this in the most respectable way ever! No judging or shade. Keep on going bro, great reactions. :) :)
More than likely there was a boom mike picking up Florence and Mary's voice.
Goood! Love The Supremes! ❤️
The best group ever, you should react to dionne warwick!

define success
@@mikel3363and the '70s Supremes still had some hits, too, including "Stoned Love" and my favorite, "Up the Ladder to the Roof."
I love the tambourines.
This is the group that inspired the musical "Dreamgirls"
Mary Wilson (of the Supremes) wrote the story behind it before the musical came around..her book is Dreamgirls my life as a Supreme)
From what I can remember everything was live on Ed Sullivan. No lip syncing on that show.
Mostly. Diana, Mary and Cindy did lip sync to their first "Love Child" performance on "Sullivan" in September 1968. They did sing it live the second time they sang it on the show in '69.
Great backing vocals
Do "Love Child" and "I'm Living In Shame".
Please React to “you danced my heart around the stars” by Mary Wilson
good track!
My uncle was friends with Mary Wilson. She’s the nicest person. Unfortunately, my uncle passed in the mid 80s. But Mary still keeps in contact with my father and always invites my parents to her shows when she comes in town.

They sung it originally and also in this performance, Diana loss her earring and caught it mid performance!
The microphone for them is hanging above them out of shot. That is why Diana moves over to them but they stay in the same place.
why don't you react to tnt boys performing the same song in "YOUR FACE SOUNDS FAMILIAR"
You know, Diana CAUGHT that ear ring. Watch closely. She catches it and didn't miss a beat
Can we just take a second to appreciate the bass playing of the legendary James Jamerson?
One of my bass heroes.
You should do vanilla fudge version of the Supremes song you keep me hanging on on Ed Sullivan show... Love that version omg
The microphone is above them Mary and Florence
I'm so disappointed. I saw "Supremes" and "You Can't Hurry Love" and immediately thought this was going to be a reaction to the TNT Boys from "Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids 2018." Keifer's Diana Ross was spot-on.

React to tnt boys impersonating ths song in yfsf (your face sounds familiar) you will love it
The young Diana Ross' voice was nasal but by 1970 it was smoother and much prettier.
The band backing them isn't the Funk Brothers. Can't compare with the studio version.

Right!!!!! I love it
Please react to Kim Wilde's Kids In America and Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good
Most of those supremes songs where done by Diana Ross and the Andantes a Motown backing group
The Adantes sometimes sang way behind Mary & Florence on some recordings. The industry calls it sweetening, it was very common in recording groups unfortunately..The Fifth Dimension, The Ronettes The Vandellas, Marvellettes, 4 Tops, Temptations and many others.. But Mary Wilson & Florence Ballard always held there own & you can always hear Ms. Wilson & Ms. Flo's voices on the recordings...
Love THAT SONG THE SUPREMES💖💖💖💖🎶✨✨✨✨

They went ON to have more HOT hits, and recordings even tho' they stopped getting the 'attention' from the Record Company and suppoprt to VAUNT them, they were NO LESS "SUPREME" and Much Worthy of international acclaim and attention just as the originals were.

You are so young that’s just one 12 number 1s and yes the earring fell off Diana caught it...smooth.
Love this sóñg the new remixed vérsion brill
3:37
If us blacks would make this class mainstream again it might can save us lol
Who is Marlene barrow who supposedly did back vocals
Is this the one, when she caught the earring really smoothly that u didn’t notice it. Boss Ross.
They didn't have a microphone because they weren't on the record 😭
Diana's earing fell of and she caught it and carried on singing.
She had it in her hand the earing was in her hand than she
The microphones were hanging from the ceiling.
I love the tambourines.
love child on sullivan , watch it.
Fantastic Motown group - I LOVE their earlier songs from 1962-64 before Where Did Our Love Go.

Hey im first can i request can you react to celine dion my heart will go on live 2019 pls
12 ... #1's
Live singing. What a concept. This when it was still an actual group. You can here the background and real harmony before the Ross takeover
The mic was probably the one they have on crane that's above them out of camera shot, it was controlled by a man sitting on the end directing it being very careful not to be seen, I'm sure he had head phones so the control booth could direct him and communicate
I love this song because I really relate to it!
OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️

The gowns they are wearing are between 3 to 5 thousand dollars each. You could by a new car for 2500 dollars.

All three Supremes sang on this record that singing with the Andantes didn’t happen until Florence left the group
Supremes and other acts utilized what's known as a BOOM MIC while performing on the Sullivan show. Boom mic is what is used while filming television shows and movies, suspended above the shot. You almost caught it - apparently you didn't see Diana CATCH the earring when it fell off her hear! Haha Holland Dozier Holland, Motown's in house song writers
Dream girls is based on them
