this is a fav performance of mine. loved these outfits and the medley. did they do any other tunes beside this and the Ladder/Everybody medley?
the girls are lip syncing here and Andy is live. then during the medley Jean is live while M and C are taped
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
