    Interesting miscellaneous photos

    Every so often I find new Supremes photos that I've never seen before, or that may be hard to find, so I'd like to share a batch I've found. These are mostly from 1966-1967.

    Looks to be a 1964 performance, but could be 1965. Can anyone identify?

    From their Dec 1966 appearance on the Ice Capades. This is really cool because I've never seen photos from this appearance before. Check out Florence's hair-do.

    I believe this is from their June 1967 appearance at the Cocoanut Grove. Would have been one of Florence's last club gigs with the Supremes.

    A rare shot from Florence's solo period. Reportedly this is from a gig in summer 1968 at the Wonder Gardens jazz club in Atlantic City.

    I believe the top photo was taken at a rehearsal for THE SNIP AND SNAP REVUE in 1964.

    Amazing photos! Just when you thought you’d seen them all, right? Is there any video of The Ice Capades appearance? It’s always possible I’ve seen it and not realized what/where it was...

    Flo looks great in these photos.
    Sad story

    I've seen maybe half of these, so the other half is a real treat. Thanks!

    I have only ever seen a few of these photos before, so many thanks for posting antceleb.
    I can’t help viewing these pics with a certain sadness in my heart. Flo looks so young and vibrant, it’s hard to believe that within a few months her career as a Supreme would be over for good.
    I wonder had the name change never happened, would she perhaps have knuckled down?. I guess we will never know.
