Sounds like "Up, Up and Away."
i'm guessing the first part is More
In the original post above, is anyone else seeing a requirement to enter a letter combination to proceed...and it keeps asking for another...and another...and another... without displaying or showing anything?

I would agree ha ha.Quote:

perhaps it's more of the Orient footage? when they commissioned that camera guy to follow them around. they also filmed themselves at the Roostertail and used a lot of that in the "orient" footage tooQuote:

This footage may be from their March 1967 engagement at the Latin Casino, but I could be wrong. If you notice how Mary and Flo are hitting the tambourines on their sides, they are doing it the same way when they did "The Happening."Quote:

I don't think there's really any question that there exists a shit ton of video of the original Supremes in the hands of Berry and company. I think he saw the importance of filming his acts pretty early on. Not to mention with the money rolling in, and the elevation of status, filming all kinds of stuff, from parties to shows, was probably a regular occurrence. Will our eyes ever get to see much of this stuff? Time will tell.
Look how smooth the ladies look, moving in unison at the very beginning. Even from the back they are something to behold. Or am I biased?:cool:
Brad I don't think The Happening was in the show until April.
of course we're all biased! lol but facts are factsQuote:

i wonder if because this was the title track to a big film, if there wasn't more "early work" with the song. i'm not sure of exact time lines but seems like within a few weeks of releasing a song, they'd have it in the act. so maybe since this was a film soundtrack and a "big deal" because that wasn't very common back then, perhaps they had already prepared the routine and allQuote:
