- On This Day In Pop Music History:
January 22, 1967 The Supremes (Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and the late Florence Ballard) introduced their 9th Number One pop song, “Love Is Here But Now You’re Gone” to a national television audience on The Andy Williams Show.
...If I wanna get married they say "go right ahead". You just gotta love Flo! :)
I liked that one too 😊
Flo would never be at peace and neither will Mr. Gordy. He was the one who refused to give Florence her royalty. As a result she went into poverty and that made her little girls suffer too. Until he correct the wrong he did to Florence, she would not rest and neither would Mr. Gordy. Money without peace means absolutely nothing
I think by Flo making that remark, she knew the enemies were plotting to get rid of her. May Flo always be remembered by the people who loved and understood her in a kind and heartfelt way!
Three of the most beautiful women I have ever seen!!!! Rest In Peace Florence Ballad and now Mary Wilson.
😢🕊️🕊️💕
Beautiful Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson... RIP in peace reunited supreme sisters...
I have LOVED this trio since I was a child. Seen MS. ROSS about five times. LOVED EVERY CONCERT!! I keep hearing that she is such a DIVA(not in a good way). I hope not!! I guess I'll still love her anyway.
Also, Rest in Peace Florence and Mary. God Bless them both in His eternal Peace and Love. 🙏❤️
My heart is heavy. RIH Mary Wilson
Rest In Peace Mary Wilson & Continue to rest Flo! 💙💙
Well said man!
Diana ROSS IS A BOSS
@@jimmyjohn5502 true!
Yes🕊️🕊️
Wow! Diana is so vibrant and theatrical, Mary very cute and sexy as hell, Florence so regal and elegant, they never got any better than this.
She has amazing posture
There is no wonder why Diana Ross was chosen as lead. Her aura and sound were very commercial
Flo, gorgeous and quick with a joke at 8:04. Love her.
She was a crowd pleaser, no doubt. Unfortunately behind the scenes and otherwise she was very difficult to work with.
A gentle and beautiful soul has left us. Safe travels my Sistar.
My favorite part of this performance is at 5:30. Watch when Flo and Mary walk down those steps in 6 inch heels without looking down. AMAZING❤❤❤😍😍😍
Al my favorite part of that performance also!
RIH Flo and Mary 🕊️🕊️😢💕

MARY, MARY, 😔 SWEET MARY
Lady Altovise 🤗 May She Rest In Sweet Peace💐💝💎🎤🎶🌎⭐ And Also May Flo Continue To RIP 💐💝💎🎤🎶🌎⭐
Great gowns, beautiful gowns.
O
They were like goddesses.
Love Flo and Mary
Take your bow Mary. Thank you for the joy you've brought to my life. Rest in Supreme Peace.
🕊️🕊️
This is so sad that 'Diane' knowing that in a few months later, Florence would be fired. July 1967.
She did it to herself.
@@OfficialHeyRico EXACTLY!!!!
If you had to put up with Flo, you'd fire her too. Annoying, obnoxious behavior is not fun.
@@erossinema8797 being treated badly is not fun either
Mary knew also!!!! Your point?? 🤔
I will never forget seeing The Supremes the very next weekend after this TV appearance on Andy Williams. All three of you put on a performance I will never forget. I really will never forget meeting Mary Wilson on May 9,1998 I still have your autograph and memories of that sweet kiss you gave me. You and Florence Ballard are with God now. Rest In Peace.
Yes please rest 🕊️🕊️💕😢
Awesome!! Lead vocals are important, but harmonizing is a huge talent and essential to making a complete package. Another difficult aspect is the choreography and Mary and Flo make it look so fluid. Descending stairs in rhythm to the music is difficult enough. Imagine having to do it staring into stage lighting and with heels and a gown on. And somehow the ladies make it look sexy and alluring. What talents!! 💞🥰
That is why so many still say THE SUPREME s -- it was ALL 3 of them -- and not just one like Gordy tried to brainwash the public.. Sorry Barry == no go== you messed with a 3 =team= Supreme=== and ruined the gift.....
Fact 💯
@@realitychick8903 💯agree
@@realitychick8903 they had anther chance with Jean, they blew that to. Focusing all his attention on Diana.
If you would have problems with that, you need to lose weight
God, Florence Ballard was amazing. Such a natural star. No one can compare to the original Supremes.
She was way better than Cindy, unfortunately she was impossible to deal with. Not a surprising thing with alcoholics
@@erossinema8797 And the fact she was raped back in high school!! Unfortunately there was no help for victims back in the day!! That incident transformed Flo. to a totally different person after that! Sad 💅💅💅
@@erossinema8797 … no, just no. You accepted the lies that Barry Gordo put out all these years. Florence Ballard was not overweight and she certainly was not fat as Gordo said to her repeatedly. And if you think a performer is drinking, well then you don’t know the business.
Florence was not an alcoholic. The Supremes were overworked. They were cash cows. Barry Gordo would not give them time off. All Florence wanted was some time off. And if she coped with alcohol, that certainly wasn’t unheard of in the entertainment business.
@@Jasper7182009 How the hell do you know? Were you there? It was a cumulative process of bad behaviors that led to Flo's dismissal.
You're another one of those weirdos that think alcohol consumption is no big deal. I've seen it destroy many families. Have you ever dealt with an alcoholic? They are so freakin' annoying. You might as well be dealing with someone in an insane asylum.
I get that Flo was a full figured woman, and anyone standing next to Diana Ross at the time would have looked larger than life and fat at the time. However, you obviously have never seen the film footage I've seen. I think they were on a talk show, or something, and Flo's calves were as wide as a balloon (an exaggeration) but yeah, she was fat. Plus, why would Berry be so eager to get rid of Flo and not Mary. Flo was a live audience crowd pleaser. And Mary. Because of her dumb ass---she is the reason Syreeta was not picked as lead singer for the 1970s Supremes.
Overworked? Well if you wanted to see overworked, just take a look at anorexic Diana at the time. The difference is, Diana is a strong trailblazer who gets out in the trenches. She didn't just talk the talk, she walked the walk, , yet everyone thinks it was like a 5 star beach resort in Maui for Diana. No, it wasn't
Don't try and make excuses for alcoholics to me. Based on my experience, I can't stand them
@@Jasper7182009 I think the Supremes were definitely overworked, but Florence also had a problem with alcohol. Her weight problems were over-exaggerated, and problems fitting tight gowns were solvable.
Berry could have done _just a little bit_ to make Mary and Florence feel less stepped on. Each should have had a solo in their shows, and they should have been able to speak more in interviews as time went on. We don't know if these changes would have shifted the dynamic with Florence, but treating her poorly was absolutely not going to help.
Kudos to Florence Ballard. Despite the turmoil that was swirling around Flo during this time, she put her professionalism and got through this TV performance as well as many more,
RIP Mary, Florence and Andy thanks for the rich entertainment ❤️
The Classic 3!! This is in 1967 and I still think Florence looked just great. You Ladies had great comedic timing as well.
👍🏽👍🏽
Florence Ballard surely did... what a voice... RIP beautiful Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson 🙏❤
Diana is unique. But go Flo and Mary you are Supreme!!!
Perhaps, that is why Berry Gordy, renamed the group, Diana Ross and The Supremes...
Diana Ross voice was so unique, that it could stand on its own....She was the real Star...
They were blessed to have the songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland creating these sensational songs, one right after another. And members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra behind them. Together they made the magic.
Florence Ballard what a voice she could sing that's for sure... miss you Florence Ballard.. you won't be forgotten ever...forever young xxxx ❤ ♥
I just woke up to find out on the today show that might be Love Queen Miss Mary Wilson has passed away. I feel like someone just took a knife and is cutting my heart oh the pain.
Miss Mary Wilson you will always be a Supreme lady.
I love Cindy after Flo left but the original sound cuz Flo.killed it with background vocals with Mary.they blended so well
Loved Them All. Mary will Be Missed
Thank you Mary Wilson for keeping The Supremes music alive all these years. 💚🌹
What absolute class Florence and Mary had. They really put the 'supreme' into The Supremes.
Mary was an angel, had a crush since 64’ she kept the Supremes music alive - no comments on Ms Ross / RIP Mary
Flo’s foot work and choreography was flawless and sexy on “Come See About Me.” They even got a “Whew!” From a guy in the audience if you listen close enough!
Great interview, Florence punchlines were right on time ,🤭 Love it 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Florence Ballard beautiful smile...
@@georginahawcroft8044 Yessss I Agree RIP Florence and Mary
🕊️💕🕊️ Both Beautiful and Talented Ladies
@@georginahawcroft8044 👍
Rest In Peace Mary Wilson ❤️ as a Gen Z I discovered Motown last year and the Supremes’ voice is just amazing and unmatched ❤️
Florence is simply stunning at finest. Her "star quality" still shines although she was a background singer. RIP Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.
Florence was sassy. Audiences loved that
@@erossinema8797 Oh yes indeed!!!! I support you "5 bags full" on that comment.
REST IN POWER💔😢 LEGENDARY ICON MARY WILSON😢
(MARCH 6, 1944 - FEBRUARY 8, 2021)
Rest In Peace to the Dreamgirl whose dreams came true. 🌈You are with Florence and you guys were terrific!🙏✝️ May you continue to sing 🎤🎤🎤🎶your symphonies in heaven. ✝️🌹
I wish you still had those dresses.....I've always liked those, very vibrant and beautiful!
I'm sad beyond words to awake to the news you are no longer with us this morning......RIP Miss Mary.
💕💕
I liked those amazing Sapphire Blue gowns also.
@@John60s70s The late Mary Wilson had taken the gowns on tour! A book was published, "Supreme Glamour" which came out a few years ago.
@@John60s70s I don't know if these beautiful blue ones were included, but check the book out (at the library).
An ERA when Talent was TALENT! SO CLEAN!
My world is empty without you.
beauty charm and grace. thats before they sing like angels. no wonder they were the top female act
THE SUPREMES TAUGHT ME ABOUT MEN AND RELATIONSHIPS! BLACK OR WHITE IT WAS THE SAME THING! I LOVE ALL THEIR SONGS!
'Love that little hand/eye movement by Diana at 5:02 to 5:06. Brilliant. Amazing instinct .
Whewww this hurts u will truly be missed I’m glad I met u thank u for being the beautiful angel u are.❤️
I love "The Supremes " records. I have a lot of their songs 🎵 on my MP3 Player.
The Supremes look Gorgeous.
Gorgeous and Talented!!
GOD BLESS the late Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson.
So gorgeous and dreamy... the voices and the dresses!!! 💙💙
Love Flo and her wittiness LOL. Always the one cracking jokes... ❤️
She just died 💔
@Neh Sangbong I just saw. I can’t believe it. May Ms. Mary Wilson rest in peace. 🤍
RIP, Supreme Mary!
Love the Supremes. I hear the symphony, was the first song l heard. This was 1967, but l came here in 1968 to USA.
RIP Mary Wilson
Never to be forgotten ❤️
Never !
Hearing Flo's voice is amazing. Love FLORENCE BALLARD Rest in peace.
am really really sad, I just found out 10 minutes ago about it, Rest in Peace lovely Mary Wilson, Great Singer and entertainer, the cool one, the friendly one, the one who always keeo the Supreme Legacy alive!, Now she is with ' FLO ' in haven, with her very best friend, now they are saying toguether that frase that it says "Honey we is terrific'" ♥️
R.I.P. Mary Wilson, for ever SUPREME !
The Harmonizing vocals of Flo and Mary make Supremes.
With Diana’s #1 selling vocals of course.
The Supremes and Andy Williams. That's entertainment!💯💯👌
My name is Steve and Love The Supremes! This performance on The Andy Williams show was absolutely excellent and especially hearing "Let there be love". The harmonies between The Supremes and Andy Williams was phenomenal. Florence Ballard stands out as always. She always looks so beautiful and glamorous and your voice is pitch perfect here and in all other performances. Mary does a beautiful job too and was terrific as a solo artist. May these ladies rest in peace in heaven above. Yes Diana was the lead singer and went on to having a great solo career. However, Mary did a beautiful job keeping up The Supremes legacy the way no one else did. Florence was trying to do all she could make a comeback and was on the road to doing that until the Lord called her home to heaven. God bless these girls and Berry Gordy and Motown!
The "sensational" "original" SUPREMES!!!! Nice rendition of "Let There be Love" Florence's and Diana's voices "ring" so beautifully with Mary filling out the bottom/alto so smoothly.
Great Medley of These ICONIC Motown Hits From Detroits Own GLORIOUS SUPREMES !!!....
Dennis Pearson 🤗 Detroit Motown Original Supremes🎤🎶🎵💋 💖 🌎⭐🌹🍀😍
RIP beautiful Mary N Flo in heavens paradise eternally in supreme peace ❤️🙏🏾 What these ladies bought to entertainment can not be defined on enjoyed for many moons ❤️🙏🏾
Diana you hang in there beautiful lady.
God has you tightly in his arms.
When these 3 ladies sing together... they are MAGIC and UNIQUE... no other group touches them... too bad they did not last...
But what an impact they made when they were together. Nothing lasts forever. Diana doesn't even sound anywhere near this good any more.
Give my those gowns oh my goodness. The background vocals made those great Supreme moments.
@Rowena Burke I believe the girls had the gowns made when they were visiting Japan the previous year
RIP Mary ❤️❤️❤️
None other than the incomparable original Supremes - magnificent Flo, exceptionally beautiful Mary, and the controversial but undeniably talented ambitious and formidable Diana Ross. Very nice duet with Andy Williams. Florence had a very good gospel voice as did the Tupelo MS born Elvis so its unfortunate they never were paired as they very likely could have been a very successful duo.
What a FABULOUS idea!!
Best girl group ever.
Mary Wilson was my favorite Supreme group member!
Wow... your voices blended well.
Love the supremes. My mom loved this group.💕✨✨✨
If only I had watched this when the now late great Ms. Mary Wilson first posted it. That is what I get for thinking that I "had time" 😔💐🦋♥️🙏🏾.
We always think there's more time and sometimes it seems as though we're just so busy doing nothing when it really comes down to it I really wanted to see her and she was just in Vegas and I had time and I just there's never enough time in the world that's why it seems like you got to rush to make sure you cover all the bases but it'll never be enough time ❤️
LOVE FLO! I bet FLORENCE was talked to by BERRY/MOTOWN for upstaging DIANE comment about marriage .......cause it received the most laughs
They played on Flo's one liner's, Berry loved it.
Flo or mary couldn't out stage DIANA or anyone else.
@@cravendubose8179 oh yes they did.....yet Diana had clout and Berry too! Diana won......
Let’s face it wasn’t fair what was done to Flo and Mary and everyone truly knows just what was done to them.They were the Best together ❤
Now millions of Supremes fans can all take a look at the coldness of Diana Ross and her frigid comment on Mary's death. What a piece of work!
Yet you're here trying to bad mouth Diana Ross but claim you're a Supremes fan 😆.
Agreed, it was a generic, basic and cold statement probably prepared by a publicist or assistant that didn't even know Mary.
@@k.n.carter8089 Ross just proved to all those suspicious of her 'real" nature and to those who may wonder about the rumors of her attitude being true that they are more likely less to give her the benefit of any doubt they may have had.
You act as if you're surprised, when fog-horn voiced Mary, who became rich off of riding Diana Ross' coattails ,bad mouthed Diana and Motown every chance she got. Yet claimed she was her friend. Please.
@@erossinema8797 When someone dies you do not ever get a 2nd chance to make it right to them for the wrongs you've done. Give Diana a mirror and tell her to read that word for word.
Caught the subliminal of the married question answered by Florence and Diana ?
R I P FLO & Mary
They Singing with Andy Williams in heaven now.
🙏🏾R.I.P🙏🏾 Mary Wilson
FIRST CLASS Entertainment!
Rest in peace to Mary Wilson your loss just before your birthday this year was a shock, but now you are with your girl Florence Ballard for her birthday today 6. 30 someday we will be together
AMEN 🕊️💕🕊️
@@lillianmunster4734 Amen as well what a year did you know Mary Alice passed this year also
Rest in peace sweet Mary. The Supremes are always in my heart.
These harmonies are so beautiful! All three of their vocals were essential to the success of the group. Most of their recordings Flo and Mary were dominant on the songs just like Diana even though she was lead. And a lot of their earlier recordings they did share lead. It just so happened the records that became hits Diana song. They had magic together as a trio which is why Diana went solo shortly afterwards. When Flo left the sound definitely changed.
Flo 💚
Real music. Bring it back, please.
It's amazing how Diana needed to hold a mic when they sang. That was BG's game, he told that to Michael in the Jacksons movie. Andy Williams snatched it away at 6:49. He spoke and sang his song with them without holding a mic. I think it was a prop.
First time seeing the "Let there be Love" performance! What a treat Diana and Andy's voices meshed really well! 🙏
They really sounded good together. Too bad most people haven't heard this, and they didn't do a record together.
Flo and mary the best and the most gorgeous
classy!
The best of the Supreme s ,this romantic music goes back to America Bandstand this is dedicated to all my 11 kids
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!!

Never seen this clip before. SO SUPREME!
Rest In Peace, Mary. With my heartfelt sympathy to your family.

Magnificent. Thank you for posting. 💙💙😘
On another video these gowns look as though they were a vibrant blue. Nevertheless the Supremes were always stunning.
Beautiful 🤩 gowns 💙
They where lip singing at 6:03 you can hear Flo singing a little fun fact
R I P Mary
RIP 🙏🏽💔
Bought this LP down the Barras in Glasgow Sunday morning.
Notice how you can hear Mary’s smoky sultry voice and Flo’s really big voice despite that they were not given microphones...I don’t think Diane could have been heard very well at all without the microphone.
In those days, she didn't have a booming soul voice, no. Despite that I always thought they sounded better as a group, which is why I like their earlier recordings better. Diana's high pitched soprano cut through any volume she was lacking
BULLSHIT!!!.
Am I the only one who took a step when Andy says"I don't know too many singing groups who can say without blushing"? He caught himself as he was saying it.
My only word "SUPREME".
