Diana truly earned her status as the best female entertainer ever. None of the younger singers today can touch her. She did it all and will go down in history as the biggest diva ever. She even managed to out shine Streisand.
Class act, instead of bitching about the Supremes, Diana, Mary, flo, or Diana, Mary Cindy, just listen to the music they gave us, the shows we can watch and how they changed the world at that time and kicked the doors down to let female groups we have now, enjoy what the girls have given us and what each one did to make the Supremes the greatest female group ever and can never be touched or anyone will ever come close to doing what they all did, don't moan or put them down just enjoy the music, the songs, the shows and the talent...
TERRY--- NO ONE IS REALLY BITCHING--- but~~~~ truth must be told and Flo is crying from her grave -- that it does and GOD commands it!!! IT IS ALL GOOD!
YES! It has always been my hope that THIS is what the Supremes will be remembered for, that THIS impact and THESE performances would be what comes to mind FIRST whenever the Supremes are mentioned. Not the rumors and dirty laundry, mud-slinging bickering that has divided not only the group members, but fans the world over. Their HUGE impact on music history should be their legacy.
People are reading things in expressions that is not there. Diana Ross was the clear definitive lead singer. The execution of these songs transcended vocal prowess and were depended on charisma and verve, something Diana Ross had in spades. Get over it. And last the wig for the time was revolutionary. It was a curly Afro. Clearly someone is not a student of history to call it hideous.
xxxstripperella6969 Back then for that time it may have been some of the best hair women could buy back then. SO in other words you go with the time. AND bty you SUCK!!!
ASU19992006 NEVER!! Diana Ross is timeless and the GREATEST Female singer/performer of all times!! Miss Ross set the blueprint! and nobody ever since has been able to surpass her timeless everlasting grace, style, charm, talent nor beauty. Diana Ross is forever!
Cindy's smooth entree into the group was a tribute to both her talents and her strong ethic as an artist. She was always prepared and was class personified.
Wayne--yes she is talented and later had a mental breakdown?? too much stress..--She was on the Tammi and JIm Bakker Christian Show singing--- she had a lot of guilt she had to deal with.. Now she is better and doing fine. after telling the truths and asking GOD and people to forgive her.. .
The album is fun to listen too. It didn't do much on the charts but one of my favorites. America was not ready to hear Miss Ross sing and perform Funny Girl, but that she did with style and class.
Who care what that Taraborelli gossip book says .... Diana Ross is absolutely SUPREME singing and performing FUNNY GIRL. She is the reason for the success of the Supremes. Many Ross fans turned away from Taraborelli and shunned him after his book. That went as well for Wilson. THOU SHALL NOT GOSSIP !!!
I read Taraborelli and Wilson's books on Diana Ross and I still love Diana Ross. And because of those books by Taraborelli and Wilson I love her even more. Those books portrayed Ross as an ambitious DIVA...so what? That's part of the Ross persona. I know most people think I'm crazy but after reading Taraborelli and Wilson's book I like Diana Ross even more even if the books portray her as a grand selfish diva. However, that is not to say that Miss Ross has made some mistakes regarding her relationship swith people she worked with in the past. But ambitious people often step on others toes especially if they are women who want to get ahead in a world controlled by men.
There shouldn’t be a comparison here. Diana Ross is just a naturally talented person. She’s and the camera connects like no other person does. Beautiful Performance by all three ladies
You guys need to remember this is the 60's, blacks in some places not being able to perform in certain until The Supremes. And to this day they are still the number female group of all time. And in the 60's number 2 behind the The Beatles and who cares about Barbara she had it easy!
Superb Performance from them. I can’t help but say Diana Ross is magical. Singing live, choreographed and dancing and she is acting the lyrics out. Eyes movements, shoulders, hands all type of body language and vibes to show that she’s a true artist even at a young age.
Just because you love Ross doesn´t give you the right to put down the other ladies who sang with her. Ross was surely a special lady and deserved the success she had but the other Supremes, in this case Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong, were great performers in an act that had world success for many years.
finally got to hear the complete Funny Girl lp when I happen to come across it at a garage sale. really a great listen. why isn't it on cd? oh well. thanks to youtube and gracious posters we can all enjoy the magnificent Diana and the Supreme ladies.
The live DRATS performances showed what great voices Mary and Cindy had--prerecorded sometimes or not for these special numbers, you heard them sing more and better here than the few non-Andantes Supremes album cuts they got to appear on in the late 1960s. :)
dispels the myth popular in today's music culture that DR is not a serious singer and that she became a star because she slept her way to the top. DR was considered a serious singer one of the best of her era until the advent of Mariah carey and whitney houston. after their arrival on the music scene musical history was re-written to cast DR as a less than average singer.
Are you nuts????? Anyone could tell Diane was bound for superstardom then? The Supremes were already A list, international superstars! The Supremes were pretty much IT!!! Diane, as a solo act, never surpassed her success as a SUPREME. She may have extended that success, not surpassed it! They were already on top!
If they'd performed "If A Girl Isn't Pretty", "The Music That Makes Me Dance" "Don't Rain On My Parade" & "My Man", this excellent album would have flown off of the shelves!
Look Berry Gordy was a man of vision and saw that Ross had that "it" factor - could sing, dance and act - a triple threat and he worked to take her on the road to Superstardom and she worked to be that icon and the rest is history. Mary, Cindy and Flo were just not part of that equation. business and Gordy knew what he wanted and how to get there and for the most part Diana Ross was his ticket and his inspiration.
HEY CHUCK --HAHAHAH-- what a joke --- DRoss was no dancer-- (( Sammy and her)) not good---- act-- yes -- sing - yes but so could the others.. Flo and Mary... face it bub!!!! IT WAS A BIG GREEDY BGORDY MISTAKE TO BREAK OFF THIS MAGICAL TEAM OF SUPREME s--- and you are NOT spiritually educated enough to understand--- but you AARE getting there... God Bless and keep researching and searching...btw---- FYI--- BGordy later admitted he should have handled Mary and Flo s careers differently... he IS older and wiser ..
Vocally, Dionne could have tackled all of the material but the comedy, the flirtatious manner, the playful rendition. I don't think so. We all have our gifts and Warwick had hers. I love Dionne an extremely versatile singer but I doubt she could do all we see here, then or now.
Thanks for posting/sharing this video. Watching it brings back a lot of very pleasant memories of Diana Ross & the Supremes on Ed Sullivan. I especially liked this performance because they sounded so good doing songs from their Funny Girl LP.
That's true. She may not have had a voice as big as Aretha's or Patti's, but she could tackle whatever was thrown at her. And not just her--the Supremes as well. All this bullsh*t about how they could have been anybody. No Vandella or Marvellette could do what Wilson and Birdsong are doing here, and those beautiful harmonies.
I'm sorry but NONE of Diana Ross contemparies at this time could pullof the versatlitly that had. Can you imagine Arethea,Patti,or Gladys singing these songs convcingly. Now imagine Babs,Liza,Cher singin Baby Love, You keep me Hanging On, and Love Childand not sound out of place. Miss Ross trully crossed all generes.
According to Motown Executives, You could have Stuck "Any 2 Girls" behind Diana Ross & The Result would have been the same, I Doubt Tito or Marlon were Critical to Michael Jackson's Success
Oh no my dear the discussion has just begun. While I do love Dionne and all that she does, I'm not sure Miss Warwick was able to pull it off as convincigly as Miss Ross. While Dionne did do well and was versatile in her musical style ,her major catalouge that she did with Hal David and Burt Bacharac was purely pop. Infact Dionne was call the "princess of pop" in her hey day.
UNCANNY---- FLO S SPIRIT WAS THERE--(((It looked like Diana was asking Flo to come down from heaven and join them-- at the beginning of this video--@ --0:09-- ))) --that is why @ 6-04 ----- DRoss felt her but she did not consciously feel it--- but her sub did!!! @ 6-04........glad you caught that Mar..... how many others did???????????? for those who know!
That’s the main reason Cindy was hired because there was a similarity with Florence. The look of the group flowed well with Cindy who wore Flo’s gowns when she joined for she and Flo wore the same dress and shoe size and both sang soprano though Flo had a more stronger voice.
We’ve lost Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong has Alzheimer’s. I wish Mary and Diana could have worked past their differences for Return To Love. That reunion has come and gone.
Out of DOZENS of TV appearances, it happened once. One time. It's the most absurd, childish, desperate attempt to discredit Miss Ross I've ever seen. In a six and a half minute clip, she partially covers their faces during the final pose for four and a half seconds. To what end would she do this? If it was all the public got, i could see it, but for less than 1% of the clip, it's petty to even suggest it. Sullivan used 5 cameras, which angle would show it? It's a good dig, until thought out.
I totally agree, the Supremes didn't have the backing of Berry Gordy to do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted, no matter how talented, that was wrong.
I wonder what Streisand thought of her performance? I am sure she has seen it because Ed Sullivan was the sort of MTV of its time. Nearly everyone watched Sullivan every Sunday night. I appreciate both performances in their own way. Diana was not trying to be Fanny Brice so it isn't really competitive. Besides Jules Styne praised it and he wrote the songs so enough said.
Although I would have loved to hear at least one song from the Funny Girl LP where all 3 sing lead in segments if the song, THIS number needed Diana to be showcased for the queen that she was; sadly enough...she wasn't a KIND queen, but a much too greedy ruler :-(
Apples and oranges: Entertainment and art. But, as a matter of fact checking, Streisand did feel the need to respond. Something to the effect of, "why is she singing my songs...the world only needs one Barbra Streisand." Of course now we know that Gordy was behind this; and Streisand's great friend Quincy Jones, who was musical director for The Wiz, was probably behind her cover of Home. Another fact: neither star has anything to prove, despite anyone's personal preference.
I read it several times, most prominently in the book "Call Her Miss Ross", and although Taborelli seemed to have a thing against "Miss Ross", I kind of doubt this is just tongue-wagging
It's stupid to suggest this when it only lasts a few seconds out of a 6 and a half minute clip - there's no reason to do it. The monitors are not on the ceiling - they are on top of each camera - she cannot possibly be checking the monitors plus she couldn't know which camera was going to make the edit. Nice try, though. You can see her checking the monitors throughout the routine - they are not on the 75 foot ceiling. LOLOLOL
and again she does the arms to hide the girls sad.. she should have pushed to have them excel her greatness,, to show that they were a group of indivisual talents.a star need not make people see only them people will know to see each as a indivisual
lol-ing... it was always the Diana Ross Way of closing out a song-- that she delusionally thought--- ONLY SHE WAS THE ONE WITH THE REAL TALENT.. as BGordy told her so.....
LOL!!! I still say Diana Ross & The Whoevers, People are still trying to figure out if the Ooh's & Ahh's were done by the Andantes The Water Sisters or a Vanquished Vandella
The 3 of them were paid the same, which by all accounts wasn't much, But even more interesting is during their audition for Motown, Berry Gordy has said, Diana Ross was the one who stood out. I wonder, if 'The Supremes" would have been offered a contract without Diana Ross. Besides there would have never even been an Audition at Motown, if not for Diana Ross & her connection with Smokey Robinson. Regardless of all hype, Diana Ross was "The Supremes. I don't think the story would have been much different no matter who Ooh'd & Ahh'd behind her.
Martha Marvelette Martha Marvelette you are exactly right! the woman behind Miss Ross were nothing more than accessories....it could have been anyone....Diana Ross was always SOLO and they were only called the Supremes by contract name only....Mary, and Flo are only in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of DIANA ROSS and for NO OTHER REASON! Diana Ross was the star and without her there would NEVER have been a contract given, nor an audition with Motown. Diana Ross is the only reason Motown had major success. Mary, Flo and Cindy were irrelevant and non important from day one hahahahaha
Excuse me, BUT Miss Mary was NOT even in the Studio for the recording of "The Supremes" 2 Biggest Hits, "Love Child" & "Someday We'll be Together", She was NOT essential to ANYTHING. Except keeping the Roadies & Band Members occupied
Diana truly earned her status as the best female entertainer ever. None of the younger singers today can touch her. She did it all and will go down in history as the biggest diva ever. She even managed to out shine Streisand.
Did you ever hear of Judy Garland?
wrong...nobody outshines Streisand

xxxstripperella6969 Back then for that time it may have been some of the best hair women could buy back then. SO in other words you go with the time. AND bty you SUCK!!!
Diana Ross is the Boss. Such a class act. There will never be another Diana!
ASU19992006 NEVER!! Diana Ross is timeless and the GREATEST Female singer/performer of all times!! Miss Ross set the blueprint! and nobody ever since has been able to surpass her timeless everlasting grace, style, charm, talent nor beauty. Diana Ross is forever!
thewizboy I agree with you! I said that she is the" BOSS". Diana is in a class all by herself.
I'm the next diana ross and the supremes
Diana Ross' voice could melt butter
Cindy's smooth entree into the group was a tribute to both her talents and her strong ethic as an artist. She was always prepared and was class personified.
So true!! Cindy was always her usual & dignified self! Both Mary & Cindy looked quite stylish together on stage!
Wayne--yes she is talented and later had a mental breakdown?? too much stress..--She was on the Tammi and JIm Bakker Christian Show singing--- she had a lot of guilt she had to deal with.. Now she is better and doing fine. after telling the truths and asking GOD and people to forgive her.. .
You could always count on The Supremes to deliver great performances. This is one of the greatest.
Gene Flores I like them and they care about me, cause I got love for Diana Ross & The Supremes.

You can hear Mary voice so loud 1:55-2:35 and I love the way Mary looks and move
I don't care what anyone says I like this album!
Superb Performance from them. I can’t help but say Diana Ross is magical. Singing live, choreographed and dancing and she is acting the lyrics out. Eyes movements, shoulders, hands all type of body language and vibes to show that she’s a true artist even at a young age.
This is Diana as the queen of Motown. Nothing common about her!
they were something else. I could watch them all day.
Just because you love Ross doesn´t give you the right to put down the other ladies who sang with her. Ross was surely a special lady and deserved the success she had but the other Supremes, in this case Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong, were great performers in an act that had world success for many years.
GREATNESS ! Enough said...
Groundbreaking. Great Group. And Diana! Always rose to the occasion. A true legend with talent to burn. (And certainly not bad on the eyes)
finally got to hear the complete Funny Girl lp when I happen to come across it at a garage sale. really a great listen. why isn't it on cd? oh well. thanks to youtube and gracious posters we can all enjoy the magnificent Diana and the Supreme ladies.
It's on CD. I purchased it on Amazon Music a few years ago.
I've backed up ALL my Supremes and Ross albums with matching CDs.
still looks and sounds good.
thankyou
I adore it!!!
The live DRATS performances showed what great voices Mary and Cindy had--prerecorded sometimes or not for these special numbers, you heard them sing more and better here than the few non-Andantes Supremes album cuts they got to appear on in the late 1960s. :)
I'm sure this is lip synced.they were experts at it by now,and Sullivan did numerous retakes during dress rehearsals

I HAD THE LP WAY BACK WHEN, SHAME THEY NEVER RELEASED THE ALBUM ON CD.
Check Itunes.....a couple of years ago, this was released as an expanded edition.
It's on CD. I purchased it from Amazon Music.
I have never heard any such a thing. But thanks for your input.

It was not diana's fault that BG was in love with her.

ONE WORD: DIONNE. END OF DISCUSSION
I love the Supremes and Diana but Barbra Streisand has nothing to worry about here...
+Moutton Noir , nor does Diana.
Apples and oranges: Entertainment and art. But, as a matter of fact checking, Streisand did feel the need to respond. Something to the effect of, "why is she singing my songs...the world only needs one Barbra Streisand." Of course now we know that Gordy was behind this; and Streisand's great friend Quincy Jones, who was musical director for The Wiz, was probably behind her cover of Home. Another fact: neither star has anything to prove, despite anyone's personal preference.
Streisand was a little pissed that Diana upstaged her. before the movie release. Diana's version is better
I highly doubt that.. What is your source? JUSt lashon harah.
I read it several times, most prominently in the book "Call Her Miss Ross", and although Taborelli seemed to have a thing against "Miss Ross", I kind of doubt this is just tongue-wagging

Excellente! I wonder what Streisand thought of her
Barbra is THE GREATEST STAR!!!
Michael Kessler diana is better on "don't rain on my parade" than Barbra.
@@whatigot2say and diana sings the heck out of 'my man' (another barbra song) live.
and again she does the arms to hide the girls sad.. she should have pushed to have them excel her greatness,, to show that they were a group of indivisual talents.a star need not make people see only them people will know to see each as a indivisual
That last shot of Ross intentionally raising her arms to cover Mary and Cindy's faces is well-documented by Taraborelli, Wilson and even Birdsong.
lol-ing... it was always the Diana Ross Way of closing out a song-- that she delusionally thought--- ONLY SHE WAS THE ONE WITH THE REAL TALENT.. as BGordy told her so.....
In her Streisandic way, she couldn't STAND it. "Who the Hell do they think they are?" was a comment from Babs at the time.
Diana Ross didn't like singing these songs
sorry Diana voice is not suited for this.. it should have been stronger or maybe she should have let mary sing some
MYEYE---- THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FLO SONG --- it could have been done to suit her big voice.. and it would have been GREAT!!!
She should have gone Solo after Baby Love, Seriously, her background singers are nothing more than distractions
LOL!!!
I still say Diana Ross & The Whoevers, People are still trying to figure out if the Ooh's & Ahh's were done by the Andantes The Water Sisters or a Vanquished Vandella
The 3 of them were paid the same, which by all accounts wasn't much, But even more interesting is during their audition for Motown, Berry Gordy has said, Diana Ross was the one who stood out. I wonder, if 'The Supremes" would have been offered a contract without Diana Ross.

Regardless of all hype, Diana Ross was "The Supremes. I don't think the story would have been much different no matter who Ooh'd & Ahh'd behind her.
Martha Marvelette Martha Marvelette you are exactly right! the woman behind Miss Ross were nothing more than accessories....it could have been anyone....Diana Ross was always SOLO and they were only called the Supremes by contract name only....Mary, and Flo are only in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of DIANA ROSS and for NO OTHER REASON! Diana Ross was the star and without her there would NEVER have been a contract given, nor an audition with Motown. Diana Ross is the only reason Motown had major success. Mary, Flo and Cindy were irrelevant and non important from day one hahahahaha
LOL!!!!!
Miss Mary's ONLY Success in Life was meeting Diana Ross.
Excuse me, BUT Miss Mary was NOT even in the Studio for the recording of "The Supremes" 2 Biggest Hits, "Love Child" & "Someday We'll be Together", She was NOT essential to ANYTHING. Except keeping the Roadies & Band Members occupied
this is campy and dreadful. a tribute to Berry Gordy's bad taste.
