@Hoopz10001 Neither Mary Nor Florence Was Fat They Had A Shape SomeThing Diana Doesnt Have(Not Hating Just Being Honest) They Both Have Hips, Butt, & Titties Florence Didnt Get Fat She Just Got Thicker In Those Areas I Guess They Wanted Her To Be As Small As Diana But She Couldnt Help It She Was Born That Way
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS---- SO EPIC==SO CLASSIC==SO FINE======= guess i'm not your average white boy, my girlfriend is jealous of my like for them, ha
Funny I had no idea that Bernard Purdie was picking up chump change in Detroit, Dec. 1964 playing live gigs at the Fox Theater for the Motown Review with the rest of the Funk Brothers! The drummer is 100% Uriel Jones. @ 1:27 you can see the letters "UJ" on the bass drum. Check out the video Come See About Me live 1964 Fox Theater Detroit. Same arrangement...same drummer.
Notice how important to the song the backup vocals are. Diana was the lead but by no means was she the only talented one. Cyndi, Flo and Mary added wonderful accompaniment that took the songs over the top.
These girls did this song. Flo melts my heart with that big gorgeous smile, I love Diana's flirty faces, and Mary's sexiness is shining in this video. I love Mary and Flo's harmony in this song. They each brought something to the table.
@ForeverFlorenceB I couldn't agree more with everything you said. It's too bad that in time Flo and Mary were relegated to the background. It couldn't have been what Diana wanted either. Their act was always controlled so much by others. But it's wonderful that we have these performances forever.
@terrybeaton I definitely agree with you there. From the things I have read, Flo and Diana remained friends even after Flo's ouster. Gordy was all about control, and he controlled every aspect of his employees lives through underhanded and deceptive contracts that most of the artists never even read. It is extremely sad, but it did produce the greatest music the world has ever heard.
Best version on the tube for me, live, not dubbed, synced or messed about with , just a great early piece showing the girls and band having fun, still love Mary btw my favourite Supreme. Thanks for this.
@coolsweetgroovy It is well known his alcohol addiction sadly killed him. Ulysses S. Grant, Ernest Hemingway & Winston Churchill were also alcoholics. It doesn't take away their greatness and their mark in history.
Mary Wilson(Far right) if her name sounds familar to anyone should not be confused with Marilyn Wilson who was Mrs. Brian Wilson 1 Mary and Marilyn are both still gorgeous. Mary never was married to him. Diana I think still teases her about it LOL
Only motown song that James Jamerson might have "played on" why I put parenthasese is that he might be playing it live, but he probably wasn't playing on the studio i'm sorry but it's Carol Kaye Berry Gordy ripped off another legend
For those not familiar with the concept, those people in the background are the actual BAND playing WITH the Supremes ON STAGE...something never seen these days!!! This is when TRUE talent existed!!!
@MsIamWoman Yes this is great--Earl Van Dyke (leader of the Funk Brothers), James Jamerson, Robert White along with the Supremes. I dare you to find an ensemble like this playing on TV today. I only wish that the director would have put a camera on the Funk Brothers!
@MsIamWoman --You got that right. That is the Funk Brothers right out of Motown Studio "A". You have Earl Van Dyke on piano, James Jamerson on bass, Robert White on lead guitar and I think Pistol Allen on drums. I wish the camera/director would have got some shots of this band. LOTS of talent up there folks!
When I was little boy, when i heard this song, i thought nothing in this world could top this song. This song to me was just fabulous to the point it could not get any betta than this LOL. Bless they harts.
They were called the "No hit Supremes" when they started but they knew they had a HIT with this one and Diane's mannerisms are sayin' "THIS ONES A HIT B*TCHES"!!!!
@coolsweetgroovy Yeah I know they were the Primettes to the Temptations Primes. Old news. They were called the "No hit Supremes" "in-house" by the other more accomplished acts who resented all the attention they got from Berry Gordy, H-D-H and Smokey Robinson because they felt Diane Ross was a marginal talent. The rival girl acts were particularly catty.
@tonywallacess45 Wow I did not know that but not surprised about stories about girl acts be treated rudely at Motown P.S. diana or Diane i'm still a fan of The supremes
@kennyfame Actually Martha Reeves was very successful. Her Wiki says she still performs at 69 after serving in Detroit politics. Having been stationed in Arizona, I know that Diane Ross gets arrested about once a week for drunk driving and its newsworthy when she ISN'T arrested so I'd say the DIVA, Miss Ross, is the Mess. SORRY.
@tonywallacess45 actually the event that you are referring to regarding diana ross was following the DEATH of her HUSBAND; a person would have to be an insensitve asshole to not understand what she was going through. because for the record anybody at despite what negative things they have to say about Diana drugs were never patrt of the equasion!!!!! drugs was never part ofthe equasion. regarding Martha Reeves yes I did hear that she was involved with politics so. i still heard that she crazy.
@kennyfame Didn't say anything about DRUGS. I said drunk driving. SEVERAL TIMES. I'm not insensitive, but I'm not doing to defend a person-no matter how famous- who puts others at risk. What if she hit and killed an innocent person. Sorry, no sympathy for Miss Ross. What's worse is that she has the money to have someone drive her around. NO SYMPATHY!!! Now, regarding what you HEARD about Martha Reeves is hearsay, someone's opinion. I see SUCESS. Evidently you are blinded by your love 4 Di.
@tonywallacess45 she was never known to do anything in terms of DRINKING or DRUGS. Happy now that I was more specific mr word sensitive. And as far as Im concerned qwho trhe hell are you to judge anybody do you liver in as glass house? just saying. people make mistakes that was hers. Mary Wilson killed her own son falling asleep at the wheel I didnt see you include that. and everything you saying is hear say about diana as far as im concerned; your a hater get a life. and your blinded by hate
@tonywallacess45 you sound fucking miserable. who the hell are you to even worry about what anybody do or doesn't do with their money; is it yours? My sympathy or feeling regarding diana is of person who know what is like to mourn. Most people with human emotions can understand that; of which you seem to be vacant. You must be some kind of insensitive as. each and everyone of us coukd have made a mistake that could have killed anotrher person. the whole situation was unfortunate mr perfect.
@tonywallacess45 when I judge Diana I judging her by legacy her children all of which are well adjusted, well rounded individuals; a lush could never have done that. Wherwe's Martha Reeves kids? or could she even find anybody to give any; just asking. And so what she in politics so was Bush and Sara Palin; whats your point?
@kennyfame Kenny you are taking this to an extreme. You like Diane Ross, I get it. If you checked my original comment you would have seen it was a compliment to Miss Ross and the Supremes. As I said there was some competition between all the girl acts at Motown. Trying to down Martha Reeves or Mary Wilson or any one of them is ridiculous. My God, man. Get a life!!! Don't you have anything better to do than go after commentators on Youtube. Its one man's opinion. Jeez, get a girlfriend.
@tonywallacess45 no actually YOU took it to the extreme when you tried to go after diana ross personally, with your drunk while driving drunk comment. Which was totally unfair; and last i checked every time I say something, you have something to say back; so where's your life at? And for the record I dont want nor do I need a girlfriend, was that supposed to be some type of homophobic sidebar? well; I caught it. So be aware of what you put out in the universe; because you'll always get it back.
In the instrumental part, Mary's eyes look up, she bites her lips and sings: woooo! and that 's because she's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen
Ross was and still is a untalented singer. She looks like a dressed up crackhead. Florence Ballard was the lead singing talent,but deemed to black for white America.She was to fine,and so is Mary. can't believe anyone finds ross attractive!
mary was stunning! couldn't take my eyes off her. you can tell these were the days when they were all in it together...all for one, one for all. then, the fame monster bit.
After Diana left for a solo career, the Supremes continued with Jean Terrell singing lead and had a number of terrific songs and hits. Both continued quite successfully until Jean, too, left the group!
so good congratulations for the quality she's so well i'm french and this song help me to speak english thank you for this video which is very very good Flo, Diana, Mary I love us
I used ta love (still DO as it go's,LoL!!) Diane's 'eye poppin' and all the rest of it...she was 'hungry' and went 'all out' for 'it'...and man,did she EVER 'get it' too!!!!Juss can't HELP loving her/them...they really were somethin VERY special!!We wont see their likes again i don think...no sir-ee!!
Que cantoras maravilhosas! Dá para perceber como a banda deu certo, elas tinham amor pelo que faziam. Sendo assim, mereceram toda a fama e sucesso alcançado!A Motown teve grande sorte de encontrar essas meninas em Detroit. A cidade do motor!
Strange you should see that, kickinqitoldschool. Back in the day, we saw that too. I think it was a family thing because her sister (Maxine) had the same build but a little larger body structure.
@xunclexx really? i've never had the chance to see maxine in her younger days. i wonder what they all looked like. her siblings and her parents, and paternal grandparents.
One of the best early & pure examples of the sound (and look) of the Supremes. And they would soon abandon this "McGuire Sisters"-style staging of all three of them sharing one mike. This is them as a group. Wonderful "Bill Kennedy Show" clip.
I was in Siagon in '70 and "A FART" broadcast a lot of the Supreme songs. There were a few other guys from Detroit and we all said she would be a dog without that voice.
Consider just how well the girls had to perform here in this video. The technical equipment at that time was primitive compared to now. I like the way they dance to the tempo. Perfectly done. 5 Stars.
Yup. Robert White is back there playing guitar and Earl Van Dyke is on the keys to the left and that kinda looks like Uriel Jones on drums...can't tell
@jeditwinz Yes this is great--Earl Van Dyke (leader of the Funk Brothers), James Jamerson, Robert White along with the Supremes. I dare you to find an ensemble like this playing on TV today.
@jimmyfinlayson Never happen again. I'm not one to say never either. Come to think of it...do u think that was Uriel Jones on drums? Kinda looked like his silhouette. Benny was still alive at this time though so it's hard to tell but the head is too round to be Pistol
@jeditwinz It sure looks like Uriel--Benny had his demons which made it hard on him just to get into the studio--I am not sure if he was up for a 'live' TV gig. But he was "Papa Zita"!!
This clip is rare because it has as close to the original audio as I've heard since we saw it on local TV in Detroit. The Bill Kennedy Show on CKLW! Thanks
Yes exactly. It use to come on Channel 9 out of Windsor, Ontario. All we and everyone had in those days were the Big 3 Networks and a few local stations. CKLW was one of ours.
At that time, they were known only as the "The Supremes." Later they morphed into "Diana Ross and the Supremes." Then Diana dumped them all and it was only "Diana Ross." Before they called themselves "The Supremes," they were known as "The Primetes."
@ComoLaFlorr: She dumped them. As far as you saying that I "should do research," the very first album I ever, EVER bought was "Where Did Our Love Go?" by The Supremes. That was in 1963 when I was 11 years old. Florence Henderson died later in Detroit, while she was on welfare. A few years ago, Mary Wilson was elected to Detroit's city council. There -- YOU learned something -- I saved you some "research."
@adopaz I already knew that.. but it wasnt diana's fault that there life's ended up like that! You shouldn't critisize people if you dont know them personally.. Florence had her problems but it wasnt dianas fault she even gave them money both to help them but anyway they are All great! peace.
It's interesting how the white guys like Mary but the black men love Flo. I don't think white men like light skinned black women, they prefer the dark ones.
Mary Is So Beautiful...If I Had Been Living In The 60s and 70s I Would've Been A Member Of The Temptations And I Would've Hollered At Mary..She Was Drop Dead Gorgeous. I Love Flo And Diana Too. But Mary Got Me DELIRIOUS...LMAO!!
I like Diana's voice very much. THOSE who say she can't sing because her voice sounds the same when she speaks don't know anything about music.Period.That's the beauty in her voice:she sounds natural.ANyway, Flo and Mary also rule.I just wish I could see them singing some leads too.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i know i fucked her back in 69 and i wear that pussy out too lol, i know right she smoked shit loads of weed too and i saw the sex tape and damn she was working that shit i wish i was that guy lol

In the instrumental part, Mary's eyes look up, she bites her lips and sings: woooo! and that 's because she's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen

Ross was and still is a untalented singer. She looks like a dressed up crackhead. Florence Ballard was the lead singing talent,but deemed to black for white America.She was to fine,and so is Mary. can't believe anyone finds ross attractive!

After Diana left for a solo career, the Supremes continued with Jean Terrell singing lead and had a number of terrific songs and hits. Both continued quite successfully until Jean, too, left the group!

Que cantoras maravilhosas! Dá para perceber como a banda deu certo, elas tinham amor pelo que faziam. Sendo assim, mereceram toda a fama e sucesso alcançado!A Motown teve grande sorte de encontrar essas meninas em Detroit. A cidade do motor!

Florence is really thin here. And her arms look so muscular..no wonder very few people would try to mess with her.

Strange you should see that, kickinqitoldschool. Back in the day, we saw that too. I think it was a family thing because her sister (Maxine) had the same build but a little larger body structure.

@xunclexx really? i've never had the chance to see maxine in her younger days. i wonder what they all looked like. her siblings and her parents, and paternal grandparents.

One of the best early & pure examples of the sound (and look) of the Supremes. And they would soon abandon this "McGuire Sisters"-style staging of all three of them sharing one mike. This is them as a group. Wonderful "Bill Kennedy Show" clip.

I was in Siagon in '70 and "A FART" broadcast a lot of the Supreme songs. There were a few other guys from Detroit and we all said she would be a dog without that voice.

Consider just how well the girls had to perform here in this video. The technical equipment at that time was primitive compared to now. I like the way they dance to the tempo. Perfectly done. 5 Stars.

Yup. Robert White is back there playing guitar and Earl Van Dyke is on the keys to the left and that kinda looks like Uriel Jones on drums...can't tell

@jeditwinz Yes this is great--Earl Van Dyke (leader of the Funk Brothers), James Jamerson, Robert White along with the Supremes. I dare you to find an ensemble like this playing on TV today.

@jimmyfinlayson Never happen again. I'm not one to say never either. Come to think of it...do u think that was Uriel Jones on drums? Kinda looked like his silhouette. Benny was still alive at this time though so it's hard to tell but the head is too round to be Pistol
jeditwinz 1 year ago
@jeditwinz It sure looks like Uriel--Benny had his demons which made it hard on him just to get into the studio--I am not sure if he was up for a 'live' TV gig. But he was "Papa Zita"!!

This clip is rare because it has as close to the original audio as I've heard since we saw it on local TV in Detroit. The Bill Kennedy Show on CKLW! Thanks

@DetroitLives313 are you saying this is from the Bill Kennedy Show on CKLW?
topgeardel 2 years ago
Yes exactly. It use to come on Channel 9 out of Windsor, Ontario. All we and everyone had in those days were the Big 3 Networks and a few local stations. CKLW was one of ours.

At that time, they were known only as the "The Supremes." Later they morphed into "Diana Ross and the Supremes." Then Diana dumped them all and it was only "Diana Ross." Before they called themselves "The Supremes," they were known as "The Primetes."
adopaz 2 years ago 14
@adopaz she didnt dump them you know better! Diana ross is a great musician you should do research bevore talking they where all great !!!
ComoLaFlorr 1 year ago
@ComoLaFlorr: She dumped them. As far as you saying that I "should do research," the very first album I ever, EVER bought was "Where Did Our Love Go?" by The Supremes. That was in 1963 when I was 11 years old. Florence Henderson died later in Detroit, while she was on welfare. A few years ago, Mary Wilson was elected to Detroit's city council. There -- YOU learned something -- I saved you some "research."
adopaz 1 year ago
@adopaz I already knew that.. but it wasnt diana's fault that there life's ended up like that! You shouldn't critisize people if you dont know them personally.. Florence had her problems but it wasnt dianas fault she even gave them money both to help them but anyway they are All great! peace.

It's interesting how the white guys like Mary but the black men love Flo. I don't think white men like light skinned black women, they prefer the dark ones.

Most #1s by artist/ group...all-time
The Beatles (20)
Mariah Carey (18)
Michael Jackson (13)
Madonna (12)
The Supremes (12)
Mariah Carey is clearly the most successful female recording artist to date. Beyonce has a ways to go even to catch Whitney Houston, or Janet Jackson.
