The Supremes looking beautiful like ALWAYS!! Watch Diana Ross and all her dramatics. You can also check out memoribilia at www.thecedarbrookcafe.com under our Art Gallery.

[@Keezie27]

Great performance by all three ladies and I have to say that Florence looks absolutely beautiful here.

[@Ramled_TheWriter]

Diana’s voice sounds majestically beautiful!

[@tjbird.hispurpose]

Absolutely beautiful version! Their vocal blend and tone is unmatched!

[@samtrak1204]

Great harmony from Mary and Flo.

[@SandyBrownLive]

Miss Diana and the Supremes sang this song, (aka "Somewhere" ) on the tonight show, the following night after Martin Luther King was assassinated. Diana also went on to give a eulogy at his funeral. She is such an engaging performer.

[@sharonmonathcohen3642]

Who didn't love Diana Ross? Thank God we didn't know what we know now

[@spattergroit]

Man, hate all you want but you have to agree that Diana knew what to do with the tools she was blessed with because the entire time my eyes were on her.

[@ArmaniSays]

Diana so dramatic! i love it lol! damn i love it.

[@millymille1]

Wow this song almost and at times brought tears to my eyes!!The surpemes are amzing and when I hear flo's voice in this song it makes me tear up a little.Flo voice is so strong and powerful.She is an amzing singer.This is the time period when people really could sing ,they really could.I love the supremes!!!!

[@HopeForBlackRose]

like fine wine classic music just gets better with time.

[@TypesALot]

My sister grew up with the Supremes and she loved this song. I had it played at her funeral because she loved it, and now I know why - Her favorite girl group did it in the 60's and I didn't even know that.

[@egodust11]

there was something about flo (beyond mere charisma!) that always bore to the core of my being. like laura nyro's voice, flo had a heart stopping mystical presence. I will love them both forever. OM shaanthipremananda!

[@roberta.lofgrenjr.7485]

Flo was Superb!!!!!

[@huskymuscles]

Amazing performance! Diana was a natural born entertainer, they type that happens very rarely. Her voice is spectacular! Not the biggest voice but her voice has style.

[@2004mojo]

I played the album to death that this song appeared on. "'The Supremes Live at the Copa".

[@TisEyerish1]

I just put up a post about that! I saw them at the Copa on April 4, 1968...the day Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. When they came out for the first act, Diana Ross announced that the had been shot. When they came out for the second set, she announced his death and they dedicated this song to him. Is that on your album? I'm not sure if they were there for more than one night.

[@silviafigueroa8813]

Diana Ross and the Supremes: The Best. Fabulous.

[@kurtsupreme]

These are THE SUPREMES..............knock off the "Diane Ross" revisionist history!

[@ikexbankai]

@@kurtsupreme omg please just stop. We know it’s The Supremes. We did search and/or clicked on the video. At the same time the name was changed. I don’t agree with the name change but it did happen

[@kurtsupreme]

@@ikexbankai No, I will NOT stop! 10 of the 12 number ones as well as "reflections" (#2) were recorded by Diane, Mary, and Flo, THE SUPREMES. Only 2 number 1's were recorded by Diana Ross and The Supremes, Diane, Mary, and Cindy. I am not going to sit by silently while the silly "Ross as a solo act" fans rewrite the entire history and legacy of THE SUPREMES with Ross Revisionist "facts" containing invalid and inaccurate information. The Supremes, Diana Ross and The Supremes, as well as the 1970's incarnations of The Supremes were all VERY different groups with very different personnel. Yes, all the groups were THE SUPREMES; so, let's CALL them that! They were Diana Ross and The Supremes for about "15 minutes" before they became The Supremes AGAIN in 1970 as they remain today.

[@TisEyerish1]

I was at the Copa in NYC on April 4, 1968, to see The Supremes. When they came out for their first set, Diana Ross announced that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had been shot. When they came back out for their second set, she announced that he had died as a result of his wound. She then dedicated this song to him. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place.

[@jtl_1230]

This comment is about to make me cry. Just a touching tribute.

[@TisEyerish1]

@@jtl_1230 It made me cry....and I was there for my engagement celebration.

[@supremes1964]

"there is a place for you" it's HISTORY! No group like them ever! LOVE THE SUPREMES!

[@coralarch]

These girls were pure class. Gorgeous outfits, gorgeous harmonies- they formed a significant part of my adolescence.

[@dutico]

No no Flo is and allways will be the best!

[@mattbleyle1271]

A beautiful song for people trying to exist

[@supremes1964]

amazing solo parts for FLO and Mary @ 3:17 ........lov it!

[@BoroTN30]

Their 3-part harmony performances are some of my favorites; this one and their version of "People", with Florence Ballard singing lead, are so fantastic. Their voices blended so well in harmony. I just wish someone had turned up Flo and Mary's microphone to equal Diana's. LOVED the camera angle at approx. 1:24 with the three ladies in profile, and I love how Diana backed off while Flo and Mary sang, "We'll find a new way of living." Very nice way to perform that. The ladies were gorgeous.

[@ComoLaFlorr]

omg I loveeee this performence and I love all of them especially the way diana sings is just amazing with pure passion and meaning.. Im mesmerized really

[@MrJeffw223]

It's so obvious here that Diana would become a great actress! The lady did It all in the entertainment industry! This Is an awesome performance by the super duper supremes.

[@paulagc5111]

i wasn't even born at those times, but i think they were great, and the one that i like the most is always diana ross, the boss was superb

[@MreViewer]

Florence looks so beautiful - wish I could go back and tell her

[@ROXYLUCY]

Gatsby you are so so right she is an all time STAR***

[@phil123711]

I love her voice. We are fortunate to have her recordings. She is an icon.

[@supremester2]

@pnyc1969 I have loved Miss Ross since fall of '64 and haven't gotten over it yet. Perhaps my fave youtube moment is at 1:37 of this song. I agree with your words - she works the song, had already sung it 100's of times, yet kept it freah. This dialog is so nothing, but she sells it like it's the meaning of life and the audience buys it - often there was applause after it! I love EVERYTHING she does in this clip, every step, nuance, gesture, flick of the hair......... OMG, MISS ROSS - lol.dig U!

[@MichelleDeVille]

beautiful rendition of this great classic

[@dobradellsgrl]

Diana gives her all in this performance. Excellent!

[@egodust11]

there was something about Florence Ballard that escaped everyone insofar as its true significance. obviously, Diana had an enormous natural talent, however she was literally being spiritually impressed that much further...enormously further by the spiritual force pouring into Florence. And it is in this song beyond all the others, where it can be readily seen with eyes that can see such things.

[@roberta.lofgrenjr.7485]

She was great!!!!

[@hammycats6919]

egodust11 come on. Florence had a powerhouse voice where Diana had a mickey mouse voice. Florence should have been given this song then and only then would you see the true power of Flo. Flo was robbed in so many ways. I guess it pays to sleep with the boss like Diana did, huh? Diana just cannot hit the notes on power ballads like Flo could. Flo will always have a apecial place in my heart. xx

[@egodust11]

Hammy Cats69 .. I couldn't agree more. I wish there were some decent studio recordings of Flo. I heard some of her ability solo, and the inspirational power in her voice, but you can tell she was rushed in those recordings...so the mood was never properly captured. Like Paul Williams in the Temps, replaced by Ruffin (and rightly so, overall), Flo was replaced by Dianna, for no good reason at all (notwithstanding Gordy).

[@letronthedivo]

this song is so amazing it touches me deeply! love it, the pure divas of music!

[@ComoLaFlorr]

my god Im amazed.. diana is amazing I have to say she can act, sing and be happy and energetic plus give the exact right expressions on stage just soo inspirational

[@robmillist]

so glamorous and heartfelt. beautiful too x

[@68NYC]

Had to revisit- Thanks again for posting...

[@phoenixreborn3]

Wow it's been 40 years since these fans (and singers) have been feuding since Flo was kicked out. The truth is that Diana did have the "stand out" voice and should've been lead. HOWEVER, Mary and Flo both had (have for Mary) great voices that should've at least had songs on lead that were singles or album tracks.

[@cjm608]

beautiful!

[@eileenmacdougall8945]

My heart song! Thank you God for this!

[@68NYC2]

Class love this... Even when Diana creeps back up to the mic for encore... Considering the time this was made it is milestone. Thanks again and again... ;0)

[@alanamonique84]

wow....this is an incredible performance. they look gorgeous. diana knew how to work it! she wasn't the best singer or the most beautiful but she had the theatrics down! WORK! (esp. the part where she moves away from the mic...PERFECT!)

[@mkrobinson95]

This just may be the best I've ever seen Florence look ... talk about regal!

[@pepe60627]

lindo , gosto muito da Diana

[@othello1127]

a breathtaking rendition of this song......I missed my ex.......wahhhhh

[@PaulDePace]

Without a doubt, this is the best I have ever seen Flo look...love her hairstyle. Nice to see her at the top of her game. Every time her name comes up, everything is so controversial. Just like to see her looking great on here.

[@whatigot2say]

Diane was an exceptional singer during this time. her voice was amazing. the notion that she wasn't a good singer is ridiculous.

[@deeks1970]

Wow. You could cut the tension with a knife. I understand why Diana was chosen to be the lead singer. However, I didn't like the way that Florence and Mary were pushed aside and later shoved to the back.

[@jobucats2166]

Who pushed them? Who shoved them? I saw none of that. Maybe I was watching the wrong clip.

[@brusselsprout5851]

No kidding! Wow. I've never seen this. Ross simply took over. Without Ballard and Wilson Ross might have been a nobody. What a pity.

[@justice4aiyana]

Diana Ross was and is clearly the star that galaxy.

[@kurtsupreme]

@@justice4aiyana That is because YOU are a silly "Ross as a solo act" fan instead of a SUPREMES fan!

[@MG-mj6zi]

Diana was a narcissistic stage show hog. I remember when she out hollered Lionel Richie when it was supposed to be a dual performance.

[@civicplayer]

Amen!!!

[@wonderboyjoy]

@MJBKfan4ever perfectly stated. and that is why diana survived and why florence didn't. i am absolutely convinced diana would have made it big time in whatever career she chose. her sisters also did well in their lives and her brother wrote hit songs. that family was gifted.

[@MrsSlightlyMagic]

Diana Ross is so cute! :) Ella es hermosa! =)

[@jakeseneres]

no autotune needed here!

[@Gatsbyesque]

She has something that few people possess. Her stage presence, charisma, pizzazz -- back then, they called it "razzmatazz!" -- whatever you call it, is second to none.

[@7676461]

@CerebralMadness this is priceless mussic i love hard house\,trance drum and bass but this takes above all this best music ever

[@SeveralMimi]

Looking at this clip, I must say that Diana has aged beautifully.

[@kurtsupreme]

So has Mary!.................Flo is deceased!

[@jjtruth3507]

Diana had "star quality" you can't buy it or teach it, you're born with it. Experience polished the gift. But you either got it or you ain't. Di had it and she let it shine.

[@porgynbess]

Wow' Flo!

[@AtomicZero]

[@cameronstl]

MAGICAL! It is clear from this, that Diana Ross always had that "it" factor!

[@kurtsupreme]

MAGICAL!! It is clear from this that THE SUPREMES always had that "it" factor!!

[@cassandrawashington1401]

Well cut through the bs, they were called the Supremes until pillow talk eased in, and all of a sudden they were called Diana Ross and The Supremes, which I have always loved these ladies but look at the sadness in Florence's face, this started as her group, the Primetts, besides her personal life and management issues, that probably drove her to drink and didn't care anymore. R.ip Flo and Mary 🙏🏾 love ya Diana! 👍🏾

[@68NYC]

IN ALL FAIRNESS - 3:16/3:17 appears to be edited somewhat. Maybe there was some recuperation between time for Diana. As in "west side Story" this song holds different meanings for different people. Still a powerful performance. A top upload- Thanks again...

[@whatigot2say]

@tevtev92 that maybe true, she was very young early 20's don't forget that. people change as they mature.

[@J.leeHoliday]

Diana Worked the mic OMG That girl went off... They sound Greate

[@nickprakash6937]

I was looking up what albulm it was there's a Live at the Copa, In Japan and a Box set. Which one dou you think would this version would be in?

[@stephenconlon653]

Fab

[@dobradellsgrl]

...like someone else said, without Diana they would have been another Marvelletes, performing in some old casinos in Las Vegas. They owe EVERYTHING to Diana. And I don't care if someone disagrees. I know what I know.

[@cassandrawashington1401]

Okay everyone hear's you 🙂

[@J.leeHoliday]

To be real and down to earth. When Flo Lift the group there was bond broken that these girls shared. These girls grow together as one and no matter how bad these girls fought I'm sure Diana did not won't flo to go. Put Mary to the side F/M Flo was Diane back bone Diane knew that Diana didn't even won't to leave, Berry made here leave and even the flo was Diane back bone Diana could still hold her own. With or without the Supremes she did 30+ years even after the Supremes

[@whatigot2say]

@AithWONDER yes she did she was dianes best back up singer.

[@dobradellsgrl]

Diana looks great and sounds fantastic too. Did you skip her intentionally? Miss Ross THE BOSS!!!

[@coolsweetgroovy]

@SpazChat I know I meant in the music industry after all it's been long overlooked that she's to R&B what Brian Wilson is to rock P.s. Saw her when she got the Kennedy Center honor with Brian Wilson P.S. little known fact Brian is Diana's long time crush

[@supremes1964]

no group like them ever..again!

[@phoenixreborn3]

But in the context of this feud I think we as fans should love the music they put out. All 8 of them are/were great singers. And even though they're rare, Mary and Flo did have some great leads on songs as well. It's just unfortunate that Gordy wasn't smrat enough in treating those girls like equals or that Diana, Mary, and Flo didn't let jealousy, greed, depression and the such seperate them.

[@68NYC]

Great Post!! This song has to be handled with emotion. Barbara Streisand put her signature on this as well!! Love it!! ~Thanks!!

[@Gatsbyesque]

You have a very interesting set of ears.

[@jonathanfernandzvazquez4443]

yes somewhere is the song!!!

[@NkrumahTure]

What venue was that at, the Hollywood Palace?

[@CerebralTheReal1]

back WHEN SINGERS DIDN'T NEED NO COMPUTER TO HELP THEM

[@jdishmael001]

the name of the song is "Somewhere"

[@supremester2]

@SinclairisCool Well, Harvey Fuqua, Gil Askey and Cholly - who put their act together all told me personally that they loved Flo, but that her vocal style, slow learning and attitude were keeping her at bay. Mary was always later than Flo for rehearsal, but Flo wouldn't start without her - even though she needed the most work. That made everyone mad. Both Gil & Harvey said Flo slowed things down, but Gil didn't want her out of the group. He blamed it all on Berry - not Diana.

[@ashiaku9864]

Think this was probably the time when they knew Diana wasn't supposed to be a background singer

[@FujikoYakushi]

Mary is thebest!

[@supremester2]

I never heard that - what did she say? Where exactly did you read this?
