BACK IN MY ARMS AGAIN

THE SUPREMES!

[@heartandsoul22]

I love how Mary and Florence pose when there names are being called. Florence looked mighty fine!

[@legedaryone]

I Love when Flo rolls her eyes

[@steveedward5074]

These three had magic together; you don't mess with magic. Ms. Wilson and Ms. Ballard are a big part of the magic. Diana Ross was great on the lead vocals but the three together had synergy.

[@Drillin4Oil]

I love the look that Florence gives at the line, "...and Flo, she don't know..." Florence is like, "That's what you think, Honey!" Blondie sure had a gift for comedy. LOVE her!

[@kennethhamlett166]

This is one of those performances by the original Supremes when they were at the absolute peak of their hit-making power. This performance is absolutely stunning -- great performances by Ms. Ross and impressive back up by Ms. Wilson and Ms. Ballard, beautiful fashion-forward dresses, and choreography that they made look effortless.. I am old enough to have seen this performance on "Hullaballoo," and everyone was raving about it at school the following day. Two years earlier, they were the "No Hit Supremes" at Motown, but, by the time this record reached number one for two weeks -- their fifth release in a row to reach the top of the charts -- they had become the label's best-selling, most popular and most polished performers, and they were this country's most celebrated artists. This performance showcases the wonderful way in which the three voices blended, serves as a perfect example of their elegant approach to Pop/R & B music, and displayed the burgeoning star qualities of Ms. Ross. Delivering this powerhouse performance, she is almost incandescent. Such wonderful talents and such wonderful memories!

[@Drillin4Oil]

LOVE Flo with that "that's what you think, Honey" look! Love you Flo! Love you Diana, Florence, Mary and yes...Cindy Birdsong.

[@mitchellsteven6189]

Diana Ross worked them arms and body and Mary and Flo were on cue with their hand gestures and harmony as well as moves. This is their Best performance where all of their moves are smooth and flow with beat of the song. Funny thing is I was 9yrs old sitting on the floor when I saw this back in 1965. My how time flies

AGREE

[@ginaduncan5074]

Mitchell Steven yessss I was 5

[@jesseramos6124]

In 65 I turned 13, and joined the jr.highschoolband.had a blast.

[@M-10VisualDistributions]

Man these ladys were simply the best ever as a female group. When you consider the era...the success they had is still unmatched in music history to this day! Amazing! People have a lot to say about Diana Ross, you gotta admit she is one of the greatest performers of all time!

[@gucciysl]

Flo’s voice is so powerful! Love the fact that we can hear the 3 of them singing together

[@shirleypoplo3341]

Flo absolutely the prettiest!!!!!

[@TWTR4EVER]

And they still are, their record of 5 consecutive # 1 POP HITS in less than 18 month still unmatched and keeps them in the standing of THE # 1 FEMALE GROUP OF ALL TIMES!

[@buckclark1104]

I appreciate Ms Ross more now than I ever did in the sixties, I too grew up in the projects,her voice was majical,, the supremes, were angelical ,if I had the power, I would have created a world, and a platform for them to perform for me night and day,

[@bcoombs1988]

Flo KNOWS her name is coming but she still manages to do a subtle little double-take when Diane says it :-P So cute!

[@1984msmocha]

I just cant get over how pretty flo was...just flat our gorgeous

[@mrrich49motown]

Flo and mary ROCK this song.flo is awesome

[@essjdjoz]

Diana always was and is a Superstar although Flo has always been my FAVORITE.

[@williefinn4932]

they were at their best here, musically and visually.

[@Drillin4Oil]

This performance is precisely why the Return to Love tour tanked. This is the true talent of the Supremes.

[@Leatherbro]

Basically you had three strangers on stage.

[@Rodin99]

I love everything about this performance.

[@RUDYNATACHA]

Watch Flo at 1:07. She's off the movement and fixes it. Also, the faces she makes in the lines with their names in it makes the whole video! Love Flo!!!

[@rascal211]

They were all great, if they weren't they would have never been in this group. Motown was a machine and they knew what they were doing.

[@TheLanard]

Five consecutive number ones, for starters. That was payback to the other Motown acts who used to call them "No-Hit Supremes". Take THAT!!

[@demetriusburley3686]

These three together were the greatest group in the world I have been fascinated with them since I was a teen

[@fistofate]

Arguably the greatest rock song ever written, recorded or performed. I don't know of any that was better.

[@DetroitLives313]

Mary! Always drop dead gorgeous!!!

[@platinnekes]

A milestone in Motown music.The Supremes,fine ladys and Diana Ross as vocal. At 15 she began with The Primes.

[@rockinrobin246]

Wow, I had forgotten what a great song this is !! I was never reallly a Supremes fan but this song knocks me out !

[@pseudofox]

This was always one of my favorites from them. SO CATCHY!

[@73MarkIV]

I grew up in the 60's,and it was the most exciting, fun time for the music, followed by the 70's and 80's. It was a fun, fun time, especially if you loved cars and music, which I did(do). Thanks for this great post. It truly is magic!

[@MarvelettesDude2]

Omg, I just love this clip. Too bad it isn't in color. I love the wigs, I love the dresses, I just love everything about it. And its live! My favorite part is when Flo dominates the last little bit with her strong "Again"

[@BeautyLoveGoddess]

They were all so pretty, 1:53 Mary Wilson almost looked like Aaliyah, love these ladies

[@MA-yh2ko]

As much of a ham as Diana was, unlike most other performers of the emerging TV age, she knew how to alternate between performing for the camera and when the camera zoomed in she looked right into the camera and performed for the camera. Other performers at the time allowed the camera to work around them without looking directly into the camera and hold it.

[@wonderboyjoy]

totally agree often we did not know what an artist looked like. often usa tv shows did not make it to television here, or it showed years after the event. we had still pics in trade papers. when Diana's voice drifted over the airways, we sat up and listened. it was the voice that really sold the song. that first ooooooo at the start of baby love is a classic example of how the voice got us hooked.

[@MissEndora69]

the look; the voices; their beauty; no wonder they were only second to the Beatles; the Supremes were supreme! They were known as the Bells of Detriot; the Sweet Hearts of Song; all in a period of time when Blacks were not yet accepted; Who else but them could tear down the walls of hate like they did; they were and are the greatest!

[@suebradford5758]

😁🎶❤🎶😁 Thank you 👍...Thank You Lord ✝️ for the Tingles 🙏❤✝️...🔥💑🔥

[@reneehurt387]

Rest in peace and birthday wishes to Florence Ballard 6. 30 I heard about how Ms Ballard would sing Christmas carols out of her window. Singing is a part of you

[@supremes1964]

PURE CLASSIC.....THE SUPREMES! .....still 2012 and forever!

[@Adventurer244]

Thank you for posting--I grew up with this music! three beautiful ladies with great voices-- and I miss them...

[@Hawaiilovesart]

that shadow spin in the opening is really cool

[@tomjones7089]

+Hawaii Loves Art Right, it's a good move, creative setting.

[@jerometaperman7102]

Wow! They're not lip syncing. In the 60s!

[@ronaldt491]

Jerome Taperman Not Lip syncing but notice the music is probably on tape with them singing along.

[@jackieclark2004]

I really love this song. It reminds me of my old boyfriend and the ups and downs of teenage love.

[@TheWinterShadow]

Man, listen to that melody.and how it fades into the chorus.

[@rollerchickable]

I LOVE THIS JAM IT IS A OLDIE AND A TUNE FOR MY SOUL.

[@dag681]

I met Lamont Dozier, responsible for most of these girls hits. Told him Motown in the day was like a Christmas present any day of the year. He hugged me, hugged him back, both of us giggling about it.

[@dynamite8503]

Flo was SPECIAL and always will be. and without Flo , Diana would have not been a Supreme. She was going to school to be a fashion designer.

[@Edruezzi]

We're living in a post-musical era. They had this in the 60s and we've got Miley Cyrus twerking or whatever and sticking out her tongue.

[@bcoombs1988]

And the little head-roll Flo does when her name is called is so scandalously adorable!

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

the first Motown song i ever heard that mentioned the names of the members of the group

[@ROXYLUCY]

Diane had the showman sparkle that took her to "entertainer of the century" and "most successful female entertainer of all time!" As well as Central Park, movies, and the distinct differentness that put her out front. Like all groups, lead stands out front, not in the back. Reality check!

[@robtburk7594]

Loved these gals when I was a teen, still love them today.. Thanks dynamite

[@coffeelover360]

For any of you that may have questions as to why Diana Ross was lead, it was because he voice was higher and sounded my young, and Berry Gordy wanted to attracked young crowds also, not just older people. And i LOVE he moves she does and what she does with her eyes, and her voice is amazing, if i lived back then i would deff date her!!

[@mochanflowerz]

LOVE... *2012* The splendor of femininty on display... all set to sweet music.

[@MelloKing1]

Florence was the best looking out of the whole group!! :)

[@LoveTheKay]

I would say Mary. Then flo

[@maxmeidl4909]

songs like this make me glad I live in michigan

[@dwmoni]

Beautiful, Talented, Intelligent and Commercially Successful..... I LOVE THE SUPREMES !!!! They make me sooooooo happy to be a Black Man......TRUE ICONS !!!!

[@mitchellsteven6189]

back in the day we didn't care what or how pretty some one was it was the Voice we heard over the airwaves. It did not matter if you looked like Olive Oil or Miss Piggy it was about the Voice, Diana had the voice and today people Still pay Top dollar to see her at 69yrs old. So it aint about how Pretty someone looks, its about that VOICE.

[@sjamotown]

I love everything about this video Poster, thank you. Those spins and turns before the lights turn up drive me insane. 4 some reason, Mary looks smaller than the skinny one! Yum, the sweet sounds of Ms. Diane! Mary was on point throughout the video. Baby, baby, I luv u!!

[@sidewaysid]

Love you FLO Ballard XXXX

[@Baskerville22]

Lots of THIS OLD HEART OF MINE (is weak for you) - Isley Bros. in this Supremes song

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1965 {May 11th} the Supremes performed "Back In My Arms Again" on the NBC-TV program 'Hullabaloo'... Eleven days earlier on May 1st it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on June 12th it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100... It was their last of 5 straight #1 records, and during the year 1965 alone they had four #1 records {the others were "Come See About Me", "Stop! In The Name of Love", and "I Hear A Symphony"}...

[@morethanlovefromme9109]

love it!!! Thanks for posting this song!!

[@crut5]

The Supremes would not have been THE SUPREMES had it not been for that wonderfully and supremely talented DIANA ROSS!! They would have gone nowhere with Florence Ballard or Mary Wilson as lead.I've seen and heard Diana in person a number of times---it has always been a wonderful and very entertaining and enjoyable experience!!! I've seen and heard Mary in person once and I thought " thank God Berry Gordy knew what he was doing". She was not good, not even mediocre. Flo's voice stunk, too.

[@AliciaBrown19882011]

Thanks for sahring these classic video gems!

[@1fredcat1]

this is pure class they are wonderful

[@MeetTheSupremes]

Yes I agree! LeToya can saaaang and has certainly proved she could have shared some leads while she was on DC - especially on songs like DON'T NEED YOU from her new album Lady Love. I'm just glad that LeToya hasn't ended up like Flo and has a really strong solo career! BIG UPS TO LADY LOVE! haha - JLG | JonathanLGardner

[@Hezekiah-dj3bm]

"Flo is something aint she" go flo❤❤❤❤❤

[@derrickrector1994]

LOL at Florence's face at 2:01 She looked really happy.

[@blkshepherd]

Look how diana moves..those arms..shoulders. but of course mary and flo is working the ooooooooooewws

[@libraryquiet]

I remember being bombarded by the british invasion with great songs and then I hear this one! The sixties were out of sight!

[@terricherry2342]

yessss... Love some good music

[@gucciysl]

This deserves a million views

[@MA-yh2ko]

I know SITNOF has that signature move, but this right HERE. Epic! Choreography kills and Mary and Flo are saaaning in the background. Of course Diana giving more than we could handle. U all seen that opening foot work?

[@ThaliaSanders]

I love this music.

[@adrina911]

Those dresses are so pretty!

[@BeautyLoveGoddess]

adrina911 I know right, I wish I had one.

[@mmlindsey8635]

AGREE

[@BeautyLoveGoddess]

@Scuzzetta Fonkbush Really, where you get it from?

[@BeautyLoveGoddess]

@Scuzzetta Fonkbush O my, I don't if I wanna laugh or be upset, what he did to Marvin was just so messed up

[@gucciysl]

Flo’s voice is so loud! Love you

[@Wolfsky9]

This was from Hullaballoo, & they sang along to a tape . I STILL SAY MARY was THE total-babe of the trio!! Wolfsky9

[@THESILENTBOATMAN]

BRILLIANT!!!!!

[@mmlindsey8635]

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

[@koksy]

I will be eternally jealous of anybody who lived through the 60s.

[@Spiffs]

Too right Texas. Men know what they like! lol Diana trailed in the sexy look stakes. Flo came out top. And Mary was the nicest looker!

[@glamourpho]

great song/ great group!

[@jackjohnson7396]

Mary was the best dancer in the group. Saw her get down on Soul Train a few times, she was excellent. Of course Don was ever so flirty with her. But not as much as when Natalie Cole came on the show.

[@Jobeterob]

Diana, the Supremes, at their best.

[@libraryquiet]

I told my friend a while back that Diana Ross has chihuahua eyes. Then I read your comment and I just busted up! My soda came out through my nose..., thanks a lot!

[@TheJerryw08]

Woman are just amazing..

[@Mrownica]

Mary Wilson is beautiful

[@mmlindsey8635]

4REAL

[@acdfus]

Music like that make me glad I lived the in the 60s"

[@Festvangelist]

Great version…. Marvin Gay fans might argue that his was the best. Then shock Credence Clearwater Rival did a this song a great jam version only the way John Fogerty and CCR could do. A credit to a great Song. Loved all of them

[@dwmoni]

lol Right on man... RIGHT ON !!!

[@morganwalker9636]

I knew it, they were singing just to me. Lol

[@slw59]

great art, like this, endures

[@1940limited]

Another great one form the Supremes!

I agree with sean it's hard to believe that all those big hits motown had it was all one band behind them all

[@supremes1964]
