The Velvelettes Live

[luke]

These Things Will Keep Me Loving You. Not sure if this was posted before. Does anyone know what show this was? Cal seems a little awkward to me. Annette and Sandra vg though far away! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRX2Z...eature=related

I think it's "Swinging Time" Luke. It's a local Detroit show.

ColtonThomas told us about this on the old SD ..he also posted the Elgins Heaven Must have Sent You and later on he posted what he had of "Needle In A Haystack but the intro was cut slightly. They were all rare performances and I was overjoyed to see them all.

Cal awkward?? Do you mean, in awe of what is happening. Maybe. But you know I am gonna support her to the hilt.

It's worth noting that those routines are very strict. They may look simple but the ladies have to practise and practise. Cal needs to watch Annette and Sandy very carefully to make sure that she co-incides her input at the right time.

The performance that Cal wants to see again is when they donned Batman outfits. Watch out for that one.

The more I learn about these gals, the more I love 'em! This is great! Charismatic and excellent choreography!

I love Cal-she just seemed a bit stiff.

"Swinging Time " was a Canadian show broadcast on CKLW Channel 9 when I was a kid.

Thank you for the correction. I knew it was a show that Detroiters were able to watch on their TV's.

That link had a picture of the Velvelettes in their Batman outfits. I can't seem to buy a copy of the TV broadcast though....I wish I could find a way to get it.

[honest man]

is the ELGINS CLIP STILL ON YOU TUBE,can't find it. please

[theboyfromxtown]

Honest

I sent it to you!!!

Did you not get it?

[Kamasu_Jr]

I'd like to see Needle In A Haystack....

[uptight]

This clip gets better with every viewing. Totally looks like Cholly Atkins' choreography. They don't look awkward to me, but it is "local" television. The placement of the girls apart from each other might be the awkward part. But it's still very nice.

Was that standard choreography in the 60's because they've got her farther out front the other Velvelettes than Diana ever got away from Mary and Flo.

[honest man]

IT was probably a TV show director's decision done for better viewing, but to let the NUTSO Supremes conspiracists tell it, Diana Ross was the only lead singer to stand so far out in front of her group members.
