But, you must know that the footage seen on the internet is not the official tape, they are only rips of the tape.
I know that the low quality footage seen on the internet is
not the official copy, because their performance originally aired in color.
The copy we have seen on youtube seems to be ripped from an old worn VHS recording rebroadcasting of the episode.
If NBC has the performance of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell saved,
I am certain that they have not only this episode, but their
appearance in 1968, and Ross's solo appearance in 1969.
