Diana Ross & The Supremes "Someday We'll Be Together" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@embracegrace723]

These vintage dresses are a 100 of a 10!

[@Smartass_Jedi]

Really doesnt ever get much better than this. Supremes and Motown's greatest song ever. Period

[@craigharrell7144]

This song hit Number 1 on December 27, 1969 making it literally the last Number 1 pop hit of the 60s. Beautiful way to end that decade from a musical point of view.

[@profesorhaven]

I think of that often.... I would like to think it was destiny that made it #1, but I'm pretty sure Berry Gordy bought this last #1 hit of the 1960s.

[@mattc2094]

A fitting anthem for the 60s, after the divisive turmoil of ‘68

[@Danlovar]

And Berry Gordy intially wanted this song to be Diana's first single as solo artist, but he thought better and ended Diana's period in the group the best way.

[@profesorhaven]

@@Danlovar agreed ... funny how Berry had to PAY passers by to go to a Diana Ross concert in the first year (1970) or so.. Berry & Motown has it archived and acted out in "Motown the Musical" which I saw December 2013

You are absolutely correct about the impact of the Ed Sullivan Show. One of the Supremes earlier hits had been to No. 1 in the charts and had dropped a place or two but after an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show went back to No. 1. The increased sales were at the time attributed to their appearance on the show. Sorry I can’t remember the song.
