There's also the Smokey Robinson special where they sang "Someday We'll Be Together"...

I know there's a CD of the JML Supremes in Japan out there, but is there a recording of this version of the Supremes in Japan?

[ivyfield]

Nope, but Motown would own the rights to the tv soundtrack so they could get their ass into gear and get it from the tv station that recorded it and then release it - now wouldn't that be great? More importantly, it would be amazing to have this show on DVD!!!

ACTUALLY, it WAS set to be done here......"in word only"! They hadn't really intended to do it! And something mysteriously happened to the video copy and audio. Apparently it was supposedly destroyed, unbeknownst to anyone why. it was said to be a 'fire' at one point. But it's in keeping with all the other 'mysteries' about why these groups didn't get to be treated SUPREME in those years, except in foreign countries!

[ivyfield]

Well I can understand that. After all, the Beeb erased hours of performances from Top of the Pops in the 70's. We lost (original lineup's) Stoned Love, River Deep, Nathan Jones, Bad Weather and He's My Man. Tragedy.

Are the any live video performances of Jean, Mary, and Cindy in concert?

[ivyfield]

Of course. I don't have any other that what you see on YouTube. There is still stuff in TV companies vaults that we may never get to see!

I looked up "horrendous" and figured out "total mess" by myself. Most musicians know that Mary Wilson has a superb alto voice. On pitch, strong, weighty, blending. I told her this to her face and she simply said, "Why, thank you!". She also asked me how the sound system was working - was the blend OK? - and I was just a fan in the back row who had a chance to meet her. I like to stand up for Mary because she is a veteran professional...

Schrreie Pane is the real singer here !!!

[redlabs]

i would be intresting to see cindy birdsong write a book about her time as a supreme, i mean she worked with all of them and i imagine it would be impartial.

i bet she has a few secrets to tell!

[spintation]

WOW very nice.  Ive never heard Mary do lead on Ladder and she was great, tho Cindy and Scherrie too loud and too fast at end.

[RUDYNATACHA]

I've met Mary a couple of times, on her book tours, and she couldn't have been nicer both times. And she about had writer's cramp after I had her sign all my Supremes albums, and her album, plus a drawing of her on the cover of it that I'd done. She's a class act!
