Andy Williams had one of the greatest voices ever. The quality of his voice is astonishing. The Supremes singing in unison surprisingly sounded totally indistinguishable from any other female vocal trio.

Except the Supremes were the greatest female group EVER! Oh and I totally disagree. Knowing their voices as I do, they are very identifiable from any other group.

I believe they also appeared in a skit. Then during the goodbyes, they said something like "Goodnight Diana. Wherever you are." :)

Here is the origin of Goodnight Diana Wherever you are. It is a play on Jimmy Durante

I love seeing this clip as this is the best JMC ever looked on TV - very Supremes-y and Jean is superb in her transition from Diana - just the ideal presentation except for:

A) The medley is a hot mess jumping back and forth between songs ruins the effectiveness of both great performances.

B) that ill-advised closing line made them look like class-less idiots because it sounds Bitchy and snotty - plus “where ever you are” turned out to be in the number one position on both the hot 100, Soul singles and soul albums charts a feat JMC never came close to achieving - just a stupid, stupid thing to do.

I think the "wherever you are" line was following a popular joke at the time - see the Jimmy Durante clip above. Today the joke is lost and can be misinterpreted

but the girls do look sensational here. per my earlier question, i find it a little odd they didn't perform another number. The little snippet of Groovin really doesn't count. They almost always did a standard along with their own hit song
