DVD Review: A Great Visual Treat!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of The Supremes for as long as
I can remember listening to music. I'm in my early 40's, so unfortunately I wasn't born when their first hit dropped. So even though I got to listen to all their major and minor hits growing up thanks mostly to oldie radio stations, it finally occurred to me that I've never really seen much real video on them, much less any live performances. Not only did I like their music, but I always thought they'd be great performers, plus I always thought all 3 of them were quite easy to look at.
Luckily, I seemed to have looked at the right time. There appears to be only a few such complete dvd's with them like this one.
I must say I was taken in with them from the first live performance on it of Where Did Our Love Go taken from the Steve Allen Show in Sept. 1964. It had a nice spirit to it, if not a slight ackwardness that would be expected given in was clearly early in their career. It sounded great too though. Man did I love Florence Ballard's smile! I also loved the two separate performances on what looks to be a tv show called "Shivaree" of Baby Love & Stop In The Name Of Love. They appeared to be the only black people on a set full of young white kids happily clapping and dancing to their music. A pretty big feet probably given the times in 1965. They lip-synch while standing and dancing next to each other on a platform surrounded by the kids, some slightly above them. I also liked the other performance of Stop In The Name Of Love from Its What's Happening, Baby in 65. It's pretty much an early music video that has white and black kids dancing together, although not really with each other. A sign of the progressive times I hope. Coolest part was watching Diana sing directly to two of the white male teens sitting in front of them. Some have talked about Diana messing up the beginning of I Hear A Symphony while on the Mike Douglas Show in Nov. of 65. I've been to many concerts, and have seen singers forget entire lines to songs, so I didn't think it was that bad, plus I thought she recovered well even though it appeared to throw her off initially. The promotional short video of You Keep Me Hanging On was fun to watch because they looked to be having fun. Cracked me up when Mary busted the bubble from Flo's gum. Lastly my favorite performance was You Can't Hurry Love from The Ed Sullivan Show in Sept. of 66. I just like the way it was shot and put together. Starts out with a shot of Diana, with Diana coolly working her way over to Mary & Flo. Just thought it was very cool, especially given this was way before music videos became an everyday staple. What I loved most was the energy and spirit of it though. I've heard stories that Berry Gorgy frowned on them performing like that sometimes, well he must have been really mad at this one if true. Diana really got into it, and Mary and Flo were shaking more than what their mothers gave them.
Yeah I thoroughly enjoyed this all-around. Some of it, especially the beginning are shot in black and white, but it progresses as it goes. The quality, while not great in spots, was actually pretty good given how long ago it was shot. The sound quality was surprising good in spots. I can't recommend this more for anyone wanting to go back down memory lane, or who want to know what all the hype was about. Growing up I've seen these three women (later with Cindy Birdsong who's here also by Dec. of 67) copied and imitated in many ways by many acts, but I now have visual proof that none did it better.
