    As big of a star as Diana became, I still feel she is underrated as a performer and pioneer. Her range, precision, stage presence…unrivaled!

      @@db60615 So what? The Supremes were about a whole lot more than just who had a "unique" voice...........group magic, personalities, choreography, song selection and arrangements,, costumes, visual image, management and direction, group harmonies, presentation, etc., etc. The list goes on and the GROUP had it all! As a matter of fact, what made THE SUPREMES the main event instead of Diane's solo career is that most of the attributes that I listed are missing without Berry Gordy, Mary, and Flo (Cindy) Diane, today, STILL has a unique (although deteriorated voice) and she STINKS!

      Yes and thank God I was smart enough to seige every chance I got to go to all the great talents of that time. I saw the Supremes in 1965 along with the shirelles the rigeous brothers and Dionne warwick on the same stage on the same night my freshman year at the University of south carolina. Through the following years I took advantage of every opportunity I got to see all the fabulous singers of the day. I saw Sonny and cher Tina turner the bee gees Lionel Richey and Billy idol. Also saw the pointer sisters and Olivia Newton John. I've seen Diana Ross three times cher three times but I have to admit my all-time favorite concert opened with Gloria Gaynor singing I will survive and followed by the phenomenal . Village people singing. Y. M. C. A.and in the navy macho man etc etc etc. And I've also seen.my favorite male singer rod stewart three times. There really isn't much better experience than to see those people you love and admire in person. Don't ever miss every chance you get to see them in person.

    Pretty sure for most groups to be successful, there has to be "THE ONE" standout. No disrespect to others. None of the other Supremes had the sparkle and glitz or "IT" factor as Diana Ross. But she did need them. That's what made the Supremes and help her to gain confidence to stretch and become a solo success. Love the glamour and detail of this live performance with full blown orchestra. It's also amazing that they weren't put into a mold of just doing Motown hits. Got chills from the beginning seeing Diana "coming out" down the aisle to open the show. She was destined to be a STAR !!!

      rusty monkey one thing that separates a true singer and or a true entertainer is the it the I'll use your analogy the ( It Factor ) makes the individual standout like the sun shines down on us , and you look up and can spot the sun at a glance , likewise Diana was the Supremes , she is the Supremes and unlike the other girls no disrespect in comparison to the radiant glow emanating from Diana pushed Diana not just forward but way out front and her abilities and glamour , charming,and just an immaculate style and class which carries even to this day made Diana very able to stand alone without the other girls even from the very beginning she was the star period . Can't argue with the facts because when Diana went on her own ,doing so allowed the public to choose both or choose one or the other ,the Supremes kept on making hits while Diana had to start all over and prove that she too was a star and the public chose to follow Diana from that point on even up and until right now 2020. So I beg the difference Diana was always the star that could and eventually did make it on her own as a solo attraction

      Matt C, Diana was the lead in 99% if the songs. She had the sound that made this group unique. Yes, Berry Gordy molded her to become the lead and standout from the others. She could do it all. Seen her at least 15 times live. It’s all her. She knows how to work and audience and never disappoints. Even at 74, still has the chops n charm. Try and see her live. 😍

    Thoroughly enjoyed this concert! Gained a new appreciation of Diana Ross' vocals too. Never took her light, girly voice too seriously, but here she showed me some nuance and depth as a singer. They took a big risk singing standards with her as the lead. But she pulled it off resoundingly! Berry made the right choice in making her the lead singer of the group. She has something that makes you hang on to every note. But talking, not so much lol. That Marilyn Monroe style of talking, kinda took me by surprise.

The UK's BBC only has a few colour cameras at the time having started colour broadcasts in 1967 and only in some parts of the country. An A List star show like this would've been presented as a colour spectacular at the time!

    All I can say is WOW! Thanks for posting this. I never saw a full concert of the Supremes. No wonder they were so loved. Berry’s real meal ticket. They really sounded fabulous and seemed happy together. Sang a lot of standards too - and very well. I’m so happy I saw this. I now see that a lot of the Ross bashing was jealousy outside the group. Ross had such magnetism. Hard to contain that in a group.

    The Voice of Diana Ross was The Only voice That Fits for The Supremes, no voice of Florence or Mary Or Cindy could ever reach the Voice of Ms Ross. Miss Ross has an authentic voice, she doesn't need to scream, her voice is a once in a lifetime voice. It isn't purely soul, it is much bigger than that; her voice has something nostalgic, something pure, something honey-like.

      Although she does sound nice, but she has a voice that helps to blend their sound. However, she is a little too loud for me since she is very close to the mic as her voice is very soft and Cindy is farther away because she was very timid in the group. Yet, Cindy's voice is prettier and should be heard more. Since Flo was gone, you could actually hear Mary in live performances, whereas Flo drowned Mary out all the time. Yet, Flo could not drown out Diana due to that piercing sound Diana always had in her voice that always carries.
