Editorial Reviews

The Best Of The Supremes on The Ed Sullivan Show collects 22 of the Supremes' greatest performances, including ones never before available on DVD. Included is the Supremes' very first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in December 1964, showcasing their No. 1 hit "Come See About Me," plus other timeless performances including "You Can't Hurry Love," "Love Child" and "The Happening." And, for the first time on DVD, this collection includes "Up the Ladder to the Roof" which is the only appearance by the "New Supremes" after Diana Ross went on to a solo career. This collection of performances truly showcases why The Supremes are one of Motown's biggest and most beloved acts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still Supreme performances from the Ed Sullivan archives., September 18, 2011

This review is from: The Best of the Supremes on the Ed Sullivan Show (DVD)

There are no liner notes so here are the original air dates for each of the 13 full length performances included on this excellent DVD. Most include Ed's original intro as well as his shaking hands with the group afterwards. And the good news is there is no extra narration added (previous releases on VHS/DVD included narration).

1. December 27, 1964: Come See About Me. In black & white as originally aired. A previous release used a colorized version of their first appearance on the Sullivan show. All other performances are color.
2. September 25, 1966: You Can't Hurry Love. Flo & Mary add tambourine.
3. May 1, 1966: Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart. Look for Mary's reaction half way through the song to Diana's adlib line ("Go Mary") as they dance.
4. December 4, 1966: My Favorite Things. A holiday fav.
5. May 7, 1967: The Happening. Ed forgets the group's name and introduces them as simply "the girls." Florence Ballard's last time on the program.
6. May 1, 1966: More.
7. September 29, 1968: Love Child. A lip-sync but performed barefoot in street clothes and natural hair. They perform the song live just a few months later (both performances are included in the Motown Gold on the Ed Sullivan Show two DVD set).
8. May 5, 1968: Always.
9. May 11, 1969: You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You. Dedicated to Ed and he even joins the trio during the song. Mary & Cindy add some comedy during the performance.
10. May 11, 1969: No Matter What Sign You Are.
11. December 21, 1969: Hits Medley (ten songs) on final appearance with Diana.
12. March 24, 1968: Forever Came Today.
Bonus:
13. February 15, 1970: Up The Ladder To The Roof. Line up of Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson & Cindy Birdsong.

There are four performances on this DVD that are not on any other releases (More, Always, You're Nobody and the hits medley with Cindy). There are six other performances by the Supremes on the Motown Gold DVD that are not included here. Those include their second performance of Love Child, I'm Living In Shame, Someday We'll Be Together, My World Is Empty Without You, a five song hits medley with Florence, plus In And Out Of Love (where Cindy makes her debut on Ed's show). We have yet to get every one of their many performances but, between this DVD and the Motown Gold two disc set, most of the high points have been included. Improved sound and picture makes this a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Wait for The Supremes on Ed Sullivan!!, August 23, 2011

This is a steal of a deal for the price. I have been waiting forever for this DVD to come out. I remember as a kid watching Diana Ross and The Supremes on The Ed Sullivan Show. They were (still are!) my favorite group and this DVD looks to include some of their best songs and performances. Hopefully we will see more old Motown releases in the near future!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, August 26, 2011

This review is from: The Best of the Supremes on the Ed Sullivan Show (DVD)

As a Supremes and Motown fan, I could not be more excited about this DVD. I can't wait to re-live their performances of "Baby Love," "You Can't Hurry Love" and "Love Child." So much to love!

Along with that, I'm excited for the bonus of "Up The Ladder To The Roof", which I have never seen before. The Supremes were a class act and I'm very excited to add this DVD to my collection!
