You don't have to tell us how good it is (smile), but how about the year and date of the performance?  She is ageless and I have no idea what year this would have been. Thanks.

@signforu It's from a local Texas show called "The Beat". September 1966.

was this the lloyd thaxton show?

[SixtiesPopGold]

@moxie96 No, it's from a local Texas show called "The Beat" (early 1966). All 26 episodes have been released by the German company Bear Famiy Records.

I first became aware of the Bluebelles after Cindy joined the Supremes. So, for me it was a good thing she did. I might not of ever heard of them until the days of LaBelle if not for Cindy's defection. It's good to see her here, though, and the one other post from an earlier time where the girls sing "You'll Never Walk Alone". Pattie "LaBelle" Holt is absolutely awesome...and, Nona, Cindy, and Sarah compliment that awesomeness!! Grat post! Thank you!.

WOW love the color the other one was black and white....

If I am not mistaken, the MC who introduces the group is none other than the late Otis Redding!!

[DhangoMicheli]

¿Ain't that Otis Redding doing the presentation?

@Drillin4Oil From what I read over the years,CIndy Birdsong always got the attention from

the fella's.....taking nothing away from Patti,Nona or especially Sarah.

Big boned, voluptuous and approachable, with talent and desire to boot, what fella' wouldnta'

hit on her?

The Supremes never lost a beat when Cindy "replaced" the equally gorgeous Blondie Ballard.

[Drillin4Oil]

@mrjoshjones1 Absolutely! Even though Patti is the lead singer, the eye drifts straight to Cindy. A stunner indeed! I remember seeing her for the first time and said, "Who is THAT girl?"

@SixtiesPopGold A YEAR LATER CINDY WAS WITH THE SUPREMES

[smokeemonkee]

@SixtiesPopGold I always thought it was a Houston, Texas show too, but I read recently that it was filmed in Nashville, Tennessee...anybody know which?

thank for shearing, Patti did a lot of good music and she is a Diva, what I really want to say is this song will always be hers !
