The supremes mary,florence,diana were on ed sullivan, not diana alone,it's history

And that doesn't include local TV shows they did in different cities, which they did do. Yes, American Bandstand in either
July or August of '64 for Where Did Our Love Go. I had forgotten about Lloyd Thaxton.

Also, again, with Oprah's remarks...A lot of younger people who were not around in the '60s do take her literally for what
she is saying. She makes it sound as if because the Supremes hit, other black young performers were given a shot.
They were NOT the first blacks on TV who came from a black label, with black choreographers, etc.
Again, from Motown...Mary Wells, Marvelettes, Martha & Vandellas, Marvin Gaye, Miracles, had all made several TV
appearances before the Supremes did the Sullivan show.

And as I mentioned in the other thread... Dionne had hit it big the year before, and the mention earlier of Dee Dee sharp.
