Happy Happy Birthday David Ruffin! Keep singing your heart out with the angels. :)

Happy Birthday to the Great David Ruffin!

That crazy ass, dead poodle wig is in effect again! LOL. Why, Ruffin, why? LOLOL. Whoever suggested you wear that wig needed a serious beatdown. LOL. But love the song and the clothes.

@poetryselite Speak the truth and shame the devil ! Musically, David was 'the truth'.

Wow. Isn't oxysena a badass w/ a keyboard?? NOT. Seriously, u need 2 take a chill pill & stop acting like u knew or know everything that went on w/ Flo. All this meanspirited talk translates in2 somebody projecting their own crap on somebody else. U didn't know Flo, Mary or Diana so YEAH, it is p...

Now, Elvis opened the gates to black music? So what happened to blues & jazz which was in existence before he got here? Yeah, denial is a powerful thing especially when people want 2 continually revise history 2 suit themselves. 4 any1 2 say that racism wasn't so 'bad' back in Elvis' day is in to...

This is the first time I have listened to the tracks off of the 'Hear My Dear' LP. I now understand when Marvin responded to the critics who trashed it when it first came out. He was correct in saying that critics have low expectations of black music in that it didn't have a message or speak to t...

The woman sing lead on this song is the great Susaye Greene. She sang with Ray Charles and was a member of The Supremes during the final years of their tenure. Thank you for the full version of this upload. I didn't know there was an extended version of it.

What is really genius is the fact that this song is a remake of an old Perry Como song and the band & the late, great Harvey Fuqua made this song popular all over again in the 70s. I had no idea growing up this was a remake. That there is the real genius!

@terrybigteekemp Yes, it's pretty fruitless w/ all the immature & assisine comments by folks who really aren't 'fans' but r just a bunch of dangerously obsessed & bitter people looking 4 attention. I love the Supremes as a whole & don't give a crap about this ridiculous vicious sniping between fa...

This song was played at the end of the movie 'Cooley High'! Yeah, baby!

This song is nice reprieve from what the Supremes usually recorded. I like the fact u can hear Mary & Flo doing a 'call & response' type of thing instead of the usual 'ooh & aaah', they were subjected 2 sing.

Love the harmonies but this wasn't one of Smokey's 'best' written songs. This song sounds like a Mary Wells throw away. 2 bad BG never had the insight 2 have female writers in the company when it was in its early stages.

@bigbear39ca who the hell r U 2 judge, 2? U go from 1 supreme video 2 the next, lambasting & posting evil comments about Mary. It's okay 2 judge Mary but soon as someone dares say something u don't like about Ross, u're crying foul! These 2 grown women, Diana & Mary should have shown some class i...

Diana looks way 2 skinny here. Not 2 crazy about the dresses either. But it's nice heard 'The Happening' live.

I like their version of this song. Very well done and the harmonies are really good.

It's obvious that Diana was probably not eating as well as she should of. She looks very thin here. But I love the color of the gowns and the gowns themselves. They all look like dolls!

@ParaFacSub No, who do u think U r? Diana's bottom bitch? LMAO. Go see a therapist 2 cure what's mentally ailing u. U sound like a damn lunatic going on & on about some nonsense about 'anti Diana, Pro Mary filth'! Most of the 'filth' that is posted by u & that bigbear character is disgusting, fou...

@della907 Well, I'm not an aethist, so I can't agree that God didn't create Mother Earth. But I respect your right 2 not 2 believe. i do agree that we make 2 much out of material things & that religion has done more 2 divide people than 2 bring them 2gether. But we can't have everything we want, ...

If Diana was 'sympathic' towards Flo, she wouldn't have treated Flo the way she did b4 she left the group. I think Ross felt guilty & tried 2 help Flo out with money after the fact. Flo had her demons but Ross' behavior was horrendous. There really is no excuse 2 treat somebody whom u had a relat...

I'm not a fan of Mary by any stretch of the imagination but I do believe that this line up was pretty good. They were different vocally & visually. I only wish that they had 'revamped' their image by leaving behind some of the glittery gowns. Sometimes, they looked 2 'vegasy'. I never thought Ros...

I love this record. The whole arrangment is nice. I'm not getting into these Supreme arguments but I agree mattluvnot. BG worked these women 2 death & we seem 2 think it's 'normal' 2 treat people like robots. Hard work is 1 thing but BG really took it 2 an extreme. Looking at some of these Suprem...

@bigbear39ca They both behaved badly PERIOD! And who cares where Mary performs? At least, she's making a living. She probably makes more than u do. If Diana wasn't so self-centered, she wouldn't have gotten the all the blame 4 this. Mary is just as self-centered as well but it's ridiculous 2 blam...

@bigbear39ca Rearranging what I said wouldn't work. Really, u need 2 get ur own business instead of being obsessed with what Mary Wilson did or didn't do. Diana was no 'saint' herself & had a very ugly attitude toward her fellow labelmates. She also 'slept' around. But at this point, who the hel...
