What a great clip; thanks for finding - do we know what show this was?

You're welcome! The first clip, of course is from T.C.B.; the second is from The Hollywood Palace. He really brought out the best in Diana, didn't he? Tracee posted the "Soulful Strut" clip on one of her social media platforms a few years back.

I presumed it was from HP; was this during Supreme years or after? Diana and McKayle have great chemistry, don't they? I can see early ballroom/vogue in his movements as well. A great piece -

This was one of the [[if not the very) last appearance[s] Diana made with The Supremes on HP. Interesting observation about the vogueing connection!

Here's an excerpt of the piece that put him on the map:
