Celebrating now over 50 years of Motown music with one of the last recordings the original three Supremes members (Diana Ross, Mary Wilson, and Florence Ballard), "Dancing On The Ceiling". The song was recorded in 1967 as part of a collection of Rodgers & Hart show tunes with the intent by Motown to showcase the Supremes singing music that would appeal to a more sophisticated audience. The Supremes had already made an appearance at the Copacabana in New York, and they wanted to broaden their musical horizons. Shortly after the completion of this album, Florence Ballard left the group to be replaced by Cindy Birdsong, and the Supremes would continue, but would now be known as Diana Ross & The Supremes. The song itself was composed by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the 1930 musical entitled "Ever Green", and has since become a popular standard recorded by many.

  • They became Diana Ross and the Supremes quite some time before Florence "left/was forced out" of the group.

  • @Branner Totally agree. Gordy's other huge mistake were getting in the Andates, they totally ruined the sound of the Supremes, the Andantes harmonies were always too harsh for me, not at all like Flo and Mary or Mary and Cindy's harmonies which were more much better and sweeter. xxxx

  • Yes--and there should have been even more harmony all around. It's amazing the natural harmony the Supremes were capable of--partially because of the reflective qualities in their three voices. It's a shame Gordy downplayed that great ability, a large part of their artistry.

  • LOVE the three-part harmonies on this.  The Supremes could sing anything.
