Diana Ross & The Supremes in Spanish TV (3) - Thou swell

[Vincent50]

This performance was better and they gave their Supreme move but what I liked most was hearing this song with Flo Ballard singing with the group then. Loved me some Flo for she was so statuesque and had that Flo Ballard move/walk that was so "dont' mess with me B!" attitude.

[coolsweetgroovy]

This is cool

[sherodjared]

cindy was the michelle of the group..always messing up on moves lol..but you love it anyway lol

[njplr]

mary RULES in this, she has just the right amount of sexiness and sass

[supreme3]

Diana Ross/The Supremes are great (especially when Florence was their as The Supremes) but Cindy (bless her heart) doesn't seem to be keeping up also she is too quick and misses quite alot of steps (I've seen all 4 videos from this Spanish TV show). Also I truly think Diana looks the best even though she scratches her wig quickly in one of these videos, Mary looks tired and sleepy (and bless her supreme heart), Cindy looks and acts over anxious.

[catfan]

Fun video, from Spain, in 1967!!! Love it!

[italoman9]

Mary looks stoned.

[trollop19]

This is a rehersal! Diana Ross wud give a better performance on the real brodcast!

[bink104]

Good lord guys.. lets put this to rest.. this was not a rehearsal. It was the actual show. Yes they are looking a bit tired and unimpressed, but with their schedule wouldn't you be too? And yes, its all lip-synked. I think we should just thank the guy who posted these and give it a rest.

[MeAndLenaZ]

A lackluster "broadcast performance". But at least they looked good.

[Drillin4Oil]

This was actually a filmed rehearsal for the camera angles.

[schuyler10]

Their perfomance of this song on "Ed Sullivan" is so much better...

[kpitt1204]

I have truly enjoyed these rare clips. I like seeing them in the mod clothing. And I forgot who said it, but those outfits are right back in style today. I think the ladies look good.

[best1forward]

all that hard work paid off..she is still here and entertaining her fans. she had it right. she wanted it and went for it...sports stars do the same and they are given the world and adulation. diana did no more than any other entertainer would have done for longivity. i applaud her all the way.berry knew it when he saw it. she was brilliant.

[DetroitD60]

Yes, then same goes for Mary Wilson. She is still here and entertaining her fans. Thank God. They all were brilliant and that is why THEY became the top group. It would have never worked if two-thirds of the group were not just as brilliant~!

[etrax2000]

who ever put this up, we would love it greatly if you would put up some raw footage that which came after the girls stopped singing or the build up. Too many posters leave out the background stuff, we want to see that as well.

[etrax2000]

I guess Gordy couldn't browbeat those macho spainish directors they didn't have too many uneeded closeups of diana this is how they all should have bee donen

[DetroitD60]

I don't believe Berry Gordy was even on this tour. We have a collection of photos from their arrival in Spain and all the way through to London's Talk of the Town and he is not in even one picture for this tour.

[branchwater7]

face it, this woulda been WAY UP for just about ANYBODY in showbiz at that time.

[buddymatic]

Ms. Ross is so FABULOUS. She's singing tonight at the HOLLYWOOD BOWL in Hollywood California and both nights are SOLD OUT! You go Ms. Ross.... buddymatic

[JonathanLGardner]

OMG They recorded this with Flo yet they are lip-syncing with Cindy, that's not fair they could haver at least pre-recorded it live rather than use the recording with Flo.

They fired her they could have had just an inch of respect for her.

Lovely vid anyway

[etrax2000]

I have heard a few CINDY OVERDUBS AND THEY WERE NOT THAT GREAT

[oceanbound222]

Diana, Cindy, and Lois

[loveblind]

When I see these clips it makes one realize how hard the women of Motown really worked.

[branchwater7]

& how hard they worked it. they really lived up to their name. they were amazing.

[Supremeross]

Thanks for posting this clip. The Supremes were just classy and great.

[DetroitD60]

Were you responding to something I posted or were your comments meant for Oceanbound222?

[Supremeross]

Your comment.

[DetroitD60]

Then bite my mother fucking ass!@ I know their history better than any on here!

[DetroitD60]

You punk ass bitch you!

[Supremeross]

Wow. That was uncalled for, but from the way you responded you know I'm right.

[DetroitD60]

You little punk you weren't even around when these groups performed you stupid ass-hole.

[Supremeross]

It doesn't matter when I was born, I still know more about the Supremes than you do, it's plain and simple. And you continue to show your ignorance and stupidity. Your parents MUST be proud.

[DetroitD60]

I HIGHLY doubt that since you evidently don't know who fuck you're talking to right now asshole. You've shown your ignorance just in the choice of your screen name / ID here you sorry son of a bitch.

[tjbnyc76]

Please, keep the gutter language where it belongs: in the gutter.

The Supremes (ALL of them) represent class and elegance. I'm sure they'd be horrified to hear "fans" using such ugly language in a discussion about them.

[oceanbound222]

Who are those ladies behind Diana Ross ?

[etrax2000]

your alter egos

[StephanAOTTO1]

Look at these clothes.

They all had such great taste, these clothes would still be considered chic & "in style" today, over 40 years later!

[buddymatic]

Diana's voice was so pretty on this clip. She has such a universal look. She could be a white woman, asian woman, hispanic woman or a black woman with her unique features and charisma. I see why she was made the lead singer. She has that "it factor" and she's still going strong today....

[bronxbarbiedolla]

A 60's Eartha Kitt pop sound - and with her Twiggy-like bod the timing helped...

But don't deny BG helping out a WHOLE lot too get what he wanted monetarily and in the sack. Camera angles and a lot of extra grooming made her "more special and appealing", and it was Motown inspired and packaged grandly even moreseo with the group name change.

BG was a king at marketing his product and having him back her was priceless - another record company would have dumped her whiny catty butt in '61

[MotownMaster]

all 3 are great clips, thanks for posting these

[jobucats]

DetroitD60, "she was made the lead singer by her boyfriend, oops, Berry Gordy" for possibly the same reasons she was chosen to be her, oops, girlfriend....her charisma, her unique voice, and her drive. I didn't know what the Supremes looked like when I first her them. I just know I fell in love with that voice. Later on, I became enthralled with the stage presence, energy, and her physical beauty (although did look rough at times in those early days). SMILE

[DetroitD60]

So, you believe Berry made Diana his girlfriend based on her charisma, unique voice and drive?.......HA! Don't make me go there!!! LOL!!! Let's just enjoy the music and these old clips.

[StephanAOTTO1]

You know that that's not what I meant.

Please, grow up.

[StephanAOTTO1]

Whoops, turns out you weren't responding to me. My bad.

[StephanAOTTO1]

To me, she looked "rough" when she became her most gaunt, due to nerves. Looking at her high school grad pic, she's quite lovely, but, when they first became big, she'd lost A LOT of weight, and, to my eye, when she got emaciated, she looked sickly.

[paul51]

Another very nice gem of a clip. Thanks so much in sharing these extremely RARE videos with us.

[StephanAOTTO1]

Regardless of how exhausted they are/look, Diana's still giving just that bit of "oomph" that's always seperated her from the others.

[DetroitD60]

You're exaggerating. Stop it! All three did a great job.

[StephanAOTTO1]

I'm not exaggerating at all. Diana's definitely giving more of a performance than the other two. BTW, accoring to most, including MW, Diana & Berry didn't start dating until 6/1965, a full year after their first run of 5 #1 hits. So, perhaps, it's not a case of her becoming lead singer because she dated him, but, him dating her because she was lead & he wanted to keep a tight reign on his investment. Either way, history's proven that he made the right decision.

[nosiestink]

I agree completely

[motownbaby]

OMG...i thought i had seen EVERYTHING the Supremes had done, but i stand corrected! Great posting. Thanks!

[Vincent50]

Hearing Flo's voice in the background only makes it harder for me to see Cindy lip syncing her parts. Though Cindy was a good replacement Flo was still the best!

[copilunio]

Hello.

It is being a little annoying to read comments refering the videos to be rehersals.

'Teleritmo' was a low budget program but very decent. In every program appeared three artists performing 2 songs each. With The Supremes was a special one, and they performed four songs. It's true that they seem exhausted. Perhaps the atmosphere wasn't ideal (no public, playback, the clothes,..)but they made it up with their incredible professionalism.. and god bless the one who got them to this program!

[motorcitymiguel]

Thank You copilunio for these fabulous videos! They are priceless& flawless. The whole show must have been fun to watch. Diana,Mary & Cindy were just doing what they do best on the show & they looked flawless & just being Supremely Cool. Bendiciones...

[DetroitD60]

copilunio, you have ignore some of the comments of some of these people. I've even told them on other sites where they discussing this show that this is how they actually appeared during the broadcast and they look great! Thank you so very much for sharing these clips. If you have the 4th one, I'd love to see it. Thanks again my friend.

[copilunio]

No problem at all. The last clip is planned to be uploaded tonight. Cheers!

[paul51]

Yeaaaah.

[DetroitD60]

Thank you so much copilunio. That last clip "You Keep Me Hanging On" was actually my very favorite. I saw it a while back.

[paul51]

Hi, I don't think anyone is purposely making negative remarks referring to these performances as a maybe "rehearsal." Believe me, we are all appreciative of these performances . . . they are terrific no matter what the origin of the taping. Thanks again.

[bronxbarbiedolla]

Maybe folks think their rehearsals because of their attire not being the usual Ed S glitzy stuff -- but they are great performances nonetheless!

Thanx greatly for posting'm Copi-Shu ;^)

[etrax2000]

DO YOU HAVE ACCESS TO ANY CONVERsATIONS THAT THE GIRLS HAD WITH THE HOSTS OR IS IT AS i SAid THESE were attempts to get as much video on the girls as possiable and were all done to be shown as we see them and not rehersals as many want to believe.

[copilunio]

Hi. This is the show just as it was broadcast on tv. The rest of the program (in the same scenery)included a Spanish pop group called 'Los Javaloyas'(they still play today!)and 'Sandra Lebrocq ballet'(the go-go's in 'In and out of love').

[DetroitD60]

Thank you copilunio, I knew that this was from the actual broadcast and NOT a rehearsal.

[jobucats]

After seeing this performance (or rehearsal) who couldn't deny that Diana was a star?!?

[DetroitD60]

She was made the lead singer by her boyfriend, oops I mean Berry Gordy. Does not translate into being the natural born star in my opinion and those of many others.....

[Supremeross]

You obviously need to go read a book on the origins of the Supremes because your comments are very ignorant.

[bronxbarbiedolla]

You meant pimp DD-Shu ;^D

LOL!

[DetroitD60]

BANG! I know that's right! hehehehe.....

[bosskat57]

i wonder how cindy felt miming to florence !!

[Individuell83]

I said it in the video which was post before " the happening" also in spanish thx

but they did a nice job here

[bronxbarbiedolla]

Remember Cindy was with Patti and the Blubells doing the chitlin' circuit - so this was WAY UP the ladder! She was so happy to be asked/used and up in that level she was willing to do anything to keep that gig ;^)

[DetroitD60]

Another, very nice memory. Thanks again!
