Did the Supremes meet Elvis?

[mowsville]

Hi all...just wondering if their paths ever crossed or if they ever had a personal meeting with Elvis...anyone know?

[reese]

I don't think so. One Elvis book mentioned a story of he and Diana riding in adjoining limos and her signaling to him to pull over, but they didn't end up meeting.

[sup_fan]

surprising with all of their huge shows, both acts being in Vegas a lot. I would think that somewhere along the way, they'd have met. even if just at a party somewhere

Well, not really
but still very , very strange
You've been warned:

I recall reading somewhere long ago that Elvis felt the Jordanairres were a bit off one night. During a song he turned to them and said to them "I coulda had the Supremes you know". I don't know if that's a true story or apocryphal but either way, it's pretty funny. Everyone should get to Graceland at least once.

ELVIS PRESLEY

SHOWS - LAS VEGAS INTERNATIONAL HOTEL

20th August – to 23rd August

the Last Show on the 29th August 1969.

by “Maria Davis”

22nd August 1969 [[Midnight Show)

The only hope was in the balcony and after waiting until 11.30.pm. and giving a suitable bribe we were allowed up and two seats found for us, At 12.30am , Elvis strolls on to the stage looking so fresh as if he had just woken up from a hundred years sleep. He was in all White gear -the first time we had seen him in it and he just looked terrific, he wore white pants, white tunic [[ like the black one) white girdle, white boots and a red silk scarf. He sang .. Blue Suede Shoes, I Gotta Woman, All Shook Up, Love Me Tender, Don't Be Cruel, Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Memories, Ma Babe, Mystery Train, Tiger Man, Baby What You Want Me To Do, Funny How Time slips away, Runaway, Are You Lonesome Tonight? Yesterday, In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, What I'd Say, Can't Help Falling In Love.
Diana Ross was there in the front row, and Elvis introduced her by saying "A great gal, and I love her" he bent down and kissed her and she smiled and waved to everyone and seemed so excited that he had introduced her. One of the girls with her asked Elvis for the glass of water from which he was drinking & he obliged by handing it down so carefully. Someone asked him for something which we didn't hear only his reply "after the show Baby you can have anything I've got"

Mary Wilson has met him.

Diana and Berry met Elvis but I am not sure about Flo, Cindy or Mary.

In one of his concert movies, something similar happened. I think his backing singers, the Sweet Inspirations, laughed at him and he said something like "I'll replace you with the Supremes, with Mahalia Jackson singing lead."

Elvis could at times be quite obnoxious to his sidemen and sidewomen. According to a friend who had a friend [[you know the deal) who went to an Elvis show, it was reported that he said something to the effect of The Sweets having B.O. and they calmly just walked offstage but didn't leave the tour or anything. Sounds like an urban legend but who knows? This was when the Sweets were just Myrna, Estelle and Sylvia. Cissy had left by that time.

Back in the 70s, this was printed in JET magazine. Elvis said something like "The Sweets have been eating catfish" or something like that, and all of the women except Myrna Smith left the stage. In appreciation, Elvis offered her an expensive ring which she didn't accept. Later, he threw the ring into the audience.

Elvis biographer Peter Guralnick wrote about it is as well, saying that near the end, some of Elvis' performances had become strange. IT seemed this incident was triggered by rude remarks from Elvis to Kathy Westmoreland, one of his other background singers with whom he had been having an affair.

I remember in February 1977 we had to wait until Elvis and his crowd left his concert at the University of Toledo so that we could start our party. He died a few months later.

[Circa 1824]

I am waiting for the Mary Wilson propagandists to claim Elvis secretly proposed to Mary and the wedding was forthcoming.

Mary Presley.......

[honest man]

Mary has met Elvis several times.

WAS SHE WITH Tom Jones at the time or just the twosome hehhhee

[144man]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Elvis ever recorded a Motown song.

Now that is amazing if true! Never? I'm sure he liked a lot of the Motown music. It wasn't that far from his own gospel/country roots.
