I am a diehard Supremes fan but I love watching the Marvelettes' choreography. It was much more complex than their Motown "sister girl-groups", The VanDellas and the Supremes. The Marvelettes' moves were more complex and intricate. The Supremes' choreography was taught to be subtle, demure and delicate. But Motown choreographer, Cholly Atkins hooked the Marvelettes up letting them go for it and they always killed it! :) The VanDellas choreography was somewhere in between. Love all of them, though.

One more thing. I had the opportunity to be with the Supremes at various engagements, backstage or at private gatherings, and they always were gracious and kind to everyone. Always beautifully dressed and coiffed too. I never saw them rush anyone; they knew what meeting them meant to their fans. When I think of them in any of the group's configurations I think of class, elegance and intelligence. Likewise, Martha Reeves is an imposing figure by any measure, clearly a top-rank achiever.

Thanks for posting this. They were so sexy yet classy. Not like the stars of today!

I didn't spend much time at home watching TV during these years, so I missed most of these shows - especially after getting my first car! Every night was spent cruising, and listening to the radio! The MoTown sound was the very best, and the female vocalists were always my favorites. I suppose the "production" guys made all these wonderful female vocalists famous, but they sure had the talent to deliver the sound! The really good stuff stands the test of time. And for the record: Mary Wells was totally HOT!

Marvelettes showed everyone that night why they were the best Motown group. So sad they didn't get the attention they deserved. Their steps, voices and songs were so great. Hopefully the new season of Unsung gets to the bottom of this.

I totally Agree, and even to this day she remains above all of the gossip and non sense, and that's y she is the Boss, Ms. Diana Ross. :-)

Regarding "Where Did Our Love Go." The song was written for the Supremes but the demo was played for the Marvelettes and they said in their opinion it wasn't material they were suited to (which was true). It was not a matter of them turning the song down. By the way, the Supremes didn't like it any more than the Marvelettes did, until they heard the finished product and saw how the Holland brothers and Mr. Dozier put it all together. And how they used Diana Ross' voice on it.

I remember reading an article called Remembering Diana Ross's Appalling Behavior at Flo Ballard's Funeral by a writer named Mark Bego, He said that 1976 he was at the funeral, of Florence Ballard and he vividly tells about Diana Ross's sad attempts to upstage Florence Ballard at her own funeral. This is what writer named Mark Bego had to say in his article. "All of a sudden, in one grand and dramatic motion, Miss Ross catapulted herself into the church, flanked by two burly male bodyguards. She quickly shot through the open doorway, and down the center aisle. She simultaneously appeared, and let out a sobbing scream. She then appeared to swoon to the point of being seconds away from collapsing mid-aisle. "The two male bodyguards swept her up by the arms and whisked her to the front of the church. Instantly, the entire crowd jumped to its feet and emitted a shocked in-unison gasp. People were climbing, clawing, and hangind Ross. "I have never seen such a choreographed display of drama in my life. It appeared to be the worst act of mock mourning that I had ever seen. I was awestruck. "It was Florence's funeral, and Miss Ross acted like she was out to steal the show, in much the same way -- I feel -- she stole The Supremes away from Ballard, and turned the group into 'Diana Ross & The Supremes.' " 'I could not have dreamed up a crazier scenario than this one if I tried,' I thought to myself. 'In my opinion, that Diana really is an unmitigated bitch! She won't even allow Florence to be the star of her own funeral!' " "Where Did Our Love Go?" indeed.

I remember reading his account somewhere before. Just another display of someone painting this woman as a villain and making her subhuman to cash in. My guess would be this guy had never been to an African American funeral before in his life either, where the theatrics, real and fake, look the same. Funny, but of the members of Flo's family to speak on her life and death, none of them ever throw darts at Diana for sobbing or nearly collapsing at the funeral. I certainly would have a lot to say about anyone coming to my sibling's funeral and showing out if I thought it was showboating.

DIane could've still been the primary lead but Flo,Mary could've had @ least 1 or 2 songs a piece on a full album,not to leave them out of the limelight! If Flo could've just held in a lil while longer, Diana was getting set to bounce and be solo. Because Supremes went back to original name after Diana left. Now Flo, Mary singing together in heaven R.I P Queens 😪🙏🏽

I can't say enough about the video- LOVE seeing this, especially my girls, The Marvelettes. I always felt the Marvelettes just had IT. They could be elegant and chic like The Supremes and at the same time, "STREET" and just down with it like Martha and The Vandellas. That said, Karbbaordkid, you NAILED it with your digitizing this show. I had a video of it years ago and believe me, you make this look pristine and just downright incredible! Excellent work you did on this, and I appreciate it so much!

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing!

Beautiful young and talented ladies full of class and elegance. And the young people in the audience well-dressed and mannered.

The Marvelettes were the ones who put Motown on the map with "Please Mr. Postman." It's sad that they were thrown to the back of the Motown bus and weren't given the recognition they deserved. Even in the Motown 25 show in the 80s, the Marvelettes were not included in the line up. Check out the documentary "Unsung: The Marvelettes" - very interesting! It's here in KZread.

Their footage was rarely found, not as martha or Supreme. 😭😭

15:21-15:35 Jesus😬 The Fame. The Adulation. The Envy. The Ambition. The Spite. The Subversion...it is all there in those few seconds. I have chills...the swift rawness of it all!

THIS ABSOLUTELY FAAAAABULOUS THANKS FOR POSTIN PLEASE POST SOME MORE THIS REALLY BRINGS FLO TO LIFE SHE MORE HAN JUST A VOICE BUT A PERSON

So the questions are not being directed only at Diana, at least not in this show. This must be early in 66 and the group was still a group. Thanks for posting this!!

Thank you for the work you did to convert this material, it's *so* rare to come across domestic recordings that are as old as this - the previous 'age' record I'm aware of is some UK comedy from 1967 onwards (a Tommy Cooper show and other things). Great!

CONGRATULATIONS TO MOTOWN'S 60TH ANNIVERSARY LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD AND CELEBRATION ALONG WITH THOSE AMAZING "SUPREMES" "WHEN THE LOVE LIGHT SHINES"

No comments on the dancing --- Lester & Leslie went on to the American Bandstand National Contest. We were all so proud.

wow Mary Wilson was beautiful...to bad Gordy thru the Marveletts under the bus...that is just sad. And yeah I agree you can detect that beautiful Flo was sad no matter how much she smiled and laughed...loved her..

DEAD at Diana's face at 37:20 ... LOL
