The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5.

Rest in heaven Mary and Florence, FOREVER SUPREMES
Still trying to get used to saying/hear that attached to Mary as well.
@@jaygriffperiod85 its so hard to me too, i've shed so many tears about it
Mary was so vivacious, I can't see her as a person who doesn't live anymore
(tears)
I am obsessed with their version of this song
the best... and that is why they will ALWAYS be remembered as THE SUPREME S....
Best version ever !
Rest peacefully Florence Glenda Ballard FOREVER Supreme QUEEN.
R.I.P. Mary. She was so beautiful. My favorite Supreme.
I still have a hard time processing that Mary is gone. It just doesn't seem real.
@@Texaslawhorn she was so vivacious, its hard to believe
@@kauafellipeguimaraessales2473 yes! Even in her last video two days before she passed away. Mary was looking so forward to the future. So sad 😥
@@Texaslawhorn so true, the notice of her passing fell like a bomb in my heart
@@kauafellipeguimaraessales2473 me too
“Somewhere” became a staple in their live performances. Over the years their rendition became more dramatic than this earlier performance. Diana eventually included a spoken passage that reached out to all generations, religious beliefs and races. This is how The Supremes became ambassadors of civil rights in sparkles and glamour. I saw them singing this live on a few occasions and it was always gut wrenching, especially when they harmonized. Perfection from the number one American group of all time, male or female.
Wow, you saw them live! That must have been amazing, when/where was it? I just discovered the supremes last year, and I have to say I’m mesmerised.... such talent in all 3... they were talented, glamorous, barrier breakers.... and yes this song definitely had so much heart. I had no idea this song was thought of in the civil rights movement, but indeed they were great examples of beautiful black women
Matt C
Diana and the Supremes brought the civil rights movement to the song. On their TCB special, Diana quotes Martin Luther King in a plea for equality in a spoken verse of the song.
I saw the original line up twice and then I saw the group with Cindy three times.
The first time I saw them was at Blinstrub’s in Boston in early 1966 when “I hear a symphony” was high on the charts. I had made my way to the stage’s staircase where I sat mesmerized. Diana came over to me, took me by the hand and brought me on stage to sing “Where did our love go?” with the group. I’m still amazed whenever I think of that. That was the first of many up close, on stage experiences with Diana. I have met her several times over the years. I brought her a chair to sit on when she sang “My Man” in her first solo concert ever. I have pictures of me dancing to “Love Hangover” with her during her Broadway smash “An Evening With Diana Ross”. I even walked down the street with her by Brown University and we talked about “The Force Behind the Power” album. I had gone to see Mary’s club debut back in the 80s and she was supreme! Diana was in the audience supporting her and they sang a bit of “Someday....” at Diana’s table. Diana didn’t go on stage. The stage belonged to Mary. On and on I could go.....But it all started with me singing with the original line up.
@@RP-oe3uq you sang with the original supremes trio?
Yes, I did sing with the original group! What an honor and such a special memory. I wrote you about that experience when I just replied to you on the “Love is like an itch” thread. Enjoy!
You sound like such a fan. It’s great to know that they still capture the attention of new fans after all these years! But as you said, Diana was the star. I’m not minimizing the role of the other ladies but facts are facts. I saw Diana evolve as the star of the group as she led the group to hit after hit earning the same amount of money as Mary, Florence and Cindy despite all the extra work she did.
@@RP-oe3uq So why aren't you known as the 10th member of The Supremes then??? Somebody's lying.
Wow. The Ed Sullivan Channel is on Supremes' run right now. Three days in a row, three new videos. Still no In And Out of Love, nor I Hear Symphony Medley.
That back drop for "In and Out of Love" is my favorite one of their many appearances, followed closely by the set for "You Can't Hurry Love."
Fats Waller medley, Millie Mame Rose..😀
for real!
The harmonies, I can’t get over it ❤️
MeFirst please, Flo and Mary were awesome!!!!!!
That's y I'm here. Pretty harmonies. Best.
Love the harmonies it’s beautiful 😍
Mary and Florence were DIVINE. Heaven is truly a good place with them.
No wonder they still remain as #1 girls group of all time... 👏👍
No Spice Girls are but they are both Legends. I love them both so much ❤
@@berealsupportive2744 Well a guess you are right, anyway they both remain the Legends.. 👍
@@owethumhlongo1494 Yes I grew up on SPICE GIRLS and always loved The Supremes. They both are Legends. No one can beat these two girl groups. Even if some have beaten the Supremes records it doesn't matter since they don't have staying power as Spice Girls and The Supremes 😊 Spice Girls were with the Beatles in power and beat a few records they had too and tied them. Supremes and Beatles ruled the 60s with Connie Francis ruling 1958 to 1964. Maybe 1965. =)
The Spice Girls never reached the popularity level of The Supremes.
The Supremes are STILL the number 1 female group. PERIOD.
@@final1fantasy Lol in a kind way that makes 0 sense. The Supremes are my 2nd favourite girl group by talent and all of that greatness but even in the girl group list of best selling and etc they aren't even in the top 10 for record sales/etc which is a huge crime i'd say. They are legends and have amazing songs. Spice girls are the #1 Girl group of ALL time not by my opinion and love for them it's the worldwide records of achievements. They are the female Beatles power wise and popularity wise. #1 male grouo are the Beatles. Spice girls scored 9 #1 singles. All singles on their debut album #1, that's the 1st in history to happen. They matched many Beatles records, wrote their own songs and actually danced, they won awards including five Brit Awards, three American Music Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, three MTV Europe Music Awards, one MTV Video Music Award and three World Music Awards. They became as huge as the Beatles that everyone marketed them for products and I can't think of any other girl groups with that unless it's just a couple of items.
Like them or not most people know the group and all of the girls names. I don't know anyone in any group usually except The Spice girls and Diana Ross and The Supremes. Most people just know Diana's name in the group. Spice girls are always listed as the #1 Girl group of all time for ALL of their unbeatable accomplishments. They Did a 4 minute performance at the 2012 Olympics and dominated ITunes and that was made way after they ruled the earth as Spiceworld from 1996 to 2001. The Supremes are huge but the spice girls are massive. I love them both so much. ❤ Spice girls are legends too and have shown that they wear the crown whenever they want it by simply coming back to own it. It's proof you can look up and not my opinion as a big fan. In 2019 they hit #1 TOUR in june! They beat the Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, and the rest! Paramount pictures is working on a movie for them. I hope they do movies for The Supremes too. I want many cool things for both. They are both very different groups let's remember that. Awesome in their own individual way for what they do and offer. Thank you ✌
This is supremely majestic. The way Diana soars and Mary and Flo are the wind beneath the wings in a sense is just magical. I'd do anything to have been in the audience.
Everything about this performance is beautiful. It was a great song for the Supremes to sing.
I agree. And yet just four years later, after Flo had just been fired, Ross took this song for herself on the Supremes 1968 TCB special, kicking Mary and Cindy off the stage while she sang this song by herself. A once beautiful group signature song had become a Ross solo number.
@@jackjules7552 yes, the lack of Mary and Cindy in "TCB" was disgraceful. Mary and Flo and Cindy were a beautiful part of "Somewhere" when all three took part.
It’s a beautiful classic love song 💚💙💛💜💗❤🖤
Florence Ballard's soulful soprano voice & Mary Wilson's smokey silky voice are so Beautiful. Added with their Harmonies!! .. Rest in Heaven Supreme Florence Ballard & now Lady SUPREME Mary Wilson.. Long Live The Supremes!
hard to overstate the way the entire nation fell in love with the songs from West Side Story ... this is almost 10 years after the musical debuted in New York and everyone still had those tunes in their heart and on their lips
Beautiful performance! Love it when they are harmonizing. Incredible blending of their voices. Just noticed the man's hand coming in behind the curtain at 03:06! Just Florence's left by her chin
Ross hijacked this song for herself in the Supremes 1968 TCB special kicking Mary and then Cindy Birdsong off the stage so she could sing this song solo without the harmonies of Mary and Cindy intruding into her world.
What a group! Everybody has their “favourite supreme”... shows what powerhouse group they were 😍
Flo and that voice were supposed to be ON BROADWAY
Love The Supremes videos! Thank you! Fats Waller Medley next please!
Agreed’
2022....A SONG TO MY HEART!!! INFINITE LOVE TO THE SUPREMES & EVERYONE.
rest in peace mary & florence❤️
Flo was mighty fine indeed. Love her hair like this too.....very Mod 60s ❤️❤️❤️
RIP Blondie xxx
Florence was the only Supreme who actually did not need a wig. All it needed was a "wash and set", but for continuity, she often wore a wig.
Ed Sullivan was the best!
Love that dramatic ending!!! FLAWLESS!
Classic and timeless.
Florence and Mary have the voices of queens
RIP Mary my fàvourite and special supreme
I first saw this in 1993 in a motel in Albany, NY, & realized it was a civil rights anthem for them. It left me in tears. Unfortunately, the recorded version was on the Live at the Copa album, where it vanished under the audience's tinkling drink glasses.
The Goddesses of the 1960s.
For me The Supremes Live At The Copacabana album is where you can really hear off three of them harmonize especially make someone happy. truly these young ladies The Supremes could really thing.
when i was a teenager in december, 1966, i went to the deauville hotel in miami beach...walked through a dark, vacant ballroom to the central kitchen area...where a waiter gave me a waiter's jacket, a tray with a drink on it and led me into the ballroom where the supremes were performing...i quickly removed the waiter's jacket and sat down at an empty table....and happily sipped the drink while the supremes thrust out their hands in unison and began singing "stop in the name of love"...a magical night that i will always remember!
stop lying, you literally say this everywhere !
Oh really? What an amazing story
Love this!! Post the Supremes Millie Rose & Mame medley. one of my favorites no longer on youtube.
This was performed beautifully
Wow is only word that comes to mind.
Who knew Ed Sullivan was into fashion. Great harmonies by the Supremes.
Very Rare! Thanks for sharing. Keep the great supremes clips coming, love to see them.
With Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard gone, Diana Ross is now the only surviving original Supreme. May they both rest in peace.
Wonderful
WOW !!!!!!!!
Even if not their more typical dynamic dramatic and glamorous fare still a technically very difficult song to be done as well as this, just shows how virtuoso and more widely capable this group really was and no doubt due to a whole heck of a lot of work and rehearsals aside from their intrinsic talent.
TY,,,,,,WOW 1st class incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work
Amazing now 2023 n forever
They were never the same without Flo. After she was gone they never sounded that good. Rip Mary and Flo.
That is such myth...I never knew what Flo's voice sounded like and when she left the public hardly noticed...this "we love Flo" thing didn't start until the 80s when Mary started lying and saying Flo had an operatic voice etc....and Dreamgirls had Jennifer Holliday so everyone thought Flo could sing like that she couldn't and flopped as a solo artist...she definitely needed Diana Ross both her and Mary because without her they were just another former star..
I’m glad that the thumbnail are the queens Mary Wilson and Ms. Florence Ballard, and not Diana.
A place for us all
You can actually hear Flo and Mary. Such nice harmonies.
..elegant..
' Funky Whitey' loved DR. She was like modern burlesque, the cabaret singer, one step below down, in the old fashioned dance hall he grew up with. Gimme R&B!
YES!!!! Yes ma'am! Get it!
You go, Diana- I'm tearing up!
They sung this song beautifully! It was sung in the movie "West Side Story"! But the Supremes sung it better, and sounded better than the version in the movie!
Flo looks so over it LOL!
Over it and beautiful
@@LoveTheKay Wasn't she a beauty!? My goodness!
Please post the Fats Waller medley! Also post The Impossible Dream!
That performance, is were they wore the gold dresses? After singing "You're Nobody" with Ed
Over the top...
The Supremes were an American girl group and a premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. Founded as the Primettes in Detroit, Michigan, in 1959, the Supremes were the most commercially successful of Motown's acts and the most successful American vocal band, with 12 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Most of these hits were written and produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland-Dozier-Holland. It is said that their breakthrough made it possible for future African-American R&B and soul musicians to find mainstream success. Billboard ranked the Supremes as the 16th greatest Hot 100 artist of all time.
Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, and Betty McGlown, the original members, were all from the Brewster-Douglass public housing project in Detroit. They formed the Primettes as the sister act to the Primes (with Paul Williams and Eddie Kendricks, who went on to form the Temptations). Barbara Martin replaced McGlown in 1960, and the group signed with Motown the following year as the Supremes. Martin left the act in early 1962, and Ross, Ballard, and Wilson continued as a trio.
During the mid-1960s, the Supremes achieved mainstream success with Ross as lead singer and Holland-Dozier-Holland as its songwriting and production team. In 1967, Motown president Berry Gordy renamed the group Diana Ross & the Supremes, and replaced Ballard with Cindy Birdsong. In 1970, Ross left to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Jean Terrell, and the group reverted the name to the Supremes again. During the mid-1970s, the lineup changed with Lynda Laurence, Scherrie Payne and Susaye Greene, joining until the group, after 18 years from its foundation, disbanded in 1977. Source Wikipedia
I have followed the Supremes since 1964 and always thought the thing that gave their harmonies personality was Diana's voice other then that Mary and Flo sounded kind of regular...nothing to set them apart until Diana harmonized with them...And for all you Flo lovers I was 15 when she left the group...trust me the public didn't even notice she was gone...I was there I know
Diana Ross was really overtaken with emotion; I could hear it in her voice and had to take a look and it's in her face too. This is one of the best versions of this song ever!
Pete Browne, Diane was overtaken with selfishness and bitchiness.
Honestly she looked stoned on heroin during this performance. You can see it in her eyes...
Fun Fact here this is after their Orient tour the Gowns that they are wearing where made in Japan and are freshly New by 1 months i think
There's a place for us.
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere.
There's a time for us.
Some day a time for us.
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care.
Someday, somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living.
We'll find there's a way of forgiving.
Somewhere.
There's a place for us, a time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there.
Somehow, someday, somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living.
We'll find a way of forgiving.
Somewhere.
There's a time for us, a time and place for us
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, someday, somewhere, somewhere,
Somewhere.
For some reason it bothers me that they are not equally spread, Mary and Florence are closer together then it seems that Diana is separated,. I know it's petty haha but I noticed things really bad that are not centered
And no one & I mean no one can work the camera like Diana!
🤣
She looks like she’s in pain.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit That's that EMOTION & DRAMATICS!
@@MiamiPush2theLimit 😅😂
Barry Gordo is working that camera and excluding Florence and Mary. And he also turned 3:44 down the mics on Florence and Mary. Thank goodness this is the version where DR does not give her soliloquy.
Happy Birthday on what would have been Florence Ballard’s 79th birthday
I can watch this over and over. Diana is just the best period. I don't care I love her.
🌟 Hi Ed Sullivan uploaders. Connie Francis my favorite is featured on the new Disney Movie Cruella. Please upload my requests from her now to grab more views while she is currently in the 2021 spotlight with children to adults ☺ I see you are posting a lot of The Supremes even more often right after Mary passed so please do it for Connie. I request Found myself a guy with the entire part. Frank Sinratra talks and then introduces her, they are friends and have the same birthday by the way! 😊 It ends with them hugging which is so sweet. The other upload I really wanna see is the Winchester Cathedral performance with a few other songs in that one performance. It's very appreciated. Thank you friends ❤
The BRILLIANT and Fabulous Hit Maker, Miss Diana ROSS ! The BOSS ! ❤
Grooving by the young rascals, Domenico Modugno with Nel blu dipinto di blu, mr. Lonely by Bobby Vinton, please.
Dianna Ross!
After Florence was given the boot, Ross stoled this song for herself only. When the Supremes did this song again on Supremes's 1968 TCB special, Ross took the stage by herself and sang this song by herself without Mary and Cindy on stage with her. Ross took what was a signature group song and took it for herself. How blatant could Ross have been in wanting everything for herself? The whole TV special was designed to let the public know that Motown did not care about the Supremes anymore and that Ross was all that mattered to Gordy.
Jack Jules, I am still waiting for Diane to pay the ultimate price for what she did to Flo and Mary. How about a mean death Diane.
Are you serious? So Diana controlled who sang what and with who in the group not the manager Berry Gordy...you just hate Diana Ross...btw you sound just like Mary when she was complaining on TV saying "Diane always wanted everything for herself?" lol
Love Diana Ross the Boss. She always had that "It" factor: that made the Supremes "pop," Ms. Ross went on to have 6 # 1 songs on her own. 🔥🔥🔥
3 great singers.. should have stayed together and NEVER should BG made Diana a false diva.. it ruined so many lives-- including BGordy s life too..
🤣😭
wait so they have no mics? So everybody knew they’re lipsyncing?
They weren't lip sinking. The mics are overhead. It's been said that Diana's was closer to her so that her voice could be heard more prominently.
@@youyong28 oh, thank you for the answer! I didn’t know that
@@youyong28 actually, Mary and Flo were lip synching to a prerecorded track here. You can see it at around 1:41 when Flo ends the word she’s mouthing before she actually completed the note. Often, when you see those two without mics on the Ed Sullivan Show, they pre-recorded their backing vocals. I’ve seen a picture from their “Always” performance rehearsal where Mary and Cindy were backstage recording the vocals they would lip synch to later on the actual performance. Diana does have an overhead boom mic here though, and often did when they were on Sullivan.
The magic of audio man Art Shine...🎤🎧🎛
@@LeimertDreamer So if Diane was singing live, why wasn't Flo and Mary singing live? What was the reason for it?
