To all the young people commenting on the over the top visuals you need to understand how huge it was to be on Ed Sullivan in 1968. 3 channels of TV (4 or 5 in big cities) , UHF TV and FM radio just starting up. AM radio was the king for radio and many channels were farm reports/news/religion. Ed Sullivan show was THE place to actually SEE rock bands.

Also in 1967, The Rolling Stones performed on The Ed Sullivan Show under one condition - they change the lyric of their hit “Let's Spend The Night Together” to the more family-friendly “let's spend some time together.” It was reported that Sullivan's exact words were, “Either the song goes, or you go.” Mick Jagger was diplomatic about his song, Jim Morrison wasn't as diplomatic about "Light My Fire"😆

well....technically the only reason the original song DIDN'T sound like this is becuz black musicians were forced to sound like white pop groups to make any money or get radio play back then. THEN when white people started co opting black music, they realized that THEY could play like black people, but LOOK like white people and make money off of sounding how black music should be played...........basically the creation of rock n roll music. so while its cool to hear this done in a different fashion, honestly its just sad becuz the Supremes should have been able to play the song like this. but if they did, they wouldnt have made money or gotten air play....starting to make sense?

Nobody could play like them. Thats why the were legends.....No rehearsal could prepare for that performance. What all all four had was some thing that just cannot be taught, just that little extra that God gives to some and they shine a little brighter no matter how hard another may practice or rehearse.
