Once again Marv, you have provided us with a very very rare clip… Thank you so much! You are a treasure trove of historical audiovisual treasures! I've never seen this, I'd never heard this until Cindy told me about it… Six weeks after it aired! Thank you so much again… You are appreciated !!!

I'm sorry I can't take credit other than for sharing this here. I would have taped it, but we didn't have VCR's back then. It is a rather important piece of Motown music history in it's own way.......

You are very welcome Luciano.

Thanks Marv. A great group of Supremes. Jean tears it up on Floy Joy. I still say Mary's voices helped the group to avoid having a generic sound. So unique. Jean is so dammed soulful.

great clip, nice to hear cindy get a lead, wonder if she recorded any leads on this but with her leaving, they may have been edited out,.thanks for sharing marv. they were really tight line up

[daviddh]

didn't they sing stoned love on merv but it was edited out ????

I sure wish they had performed "Touch". Other than the "Model of the Year" show, did the group ever perform the song on TV? [[I know MSC did in Japan.)

[blackguy69]

They did it on their second appearance of flip Wilson

I had this on a tape years ago....I remember a live recording of Nathan Jones was included too... and the band was loud and racing it...Jean said "Easy!...easy!"

i love that cindy got a lead line in Floy Joy. i think they should have recorded it that way.
