Thanks for sharing this Ed Sullivan video of The Super-Dooper Supremes, Thom. I've never seen this performance before. I really enjoyed it!

All the exposure on the top rated shows, and appearing alongside [[and often performing duets with) other top rated entertainers who were outside the "teen" taste of popular music really cements the importance and acceptance of the group...they were obviously overall highly thought of not only by their peers, but long established veterans...maybe BG was right and didn't over estimate the importance of getting the Supremes into the Copa

Dina Ross was most definitely my favorite member. Deena Jones came in a close second...followed by Cindy Windsong. They are all just so talented.
