Great photos Carlo. Thanks for sharing. How did you know that that was Mitt's dad? That's George Romney. He was once President of American Motors [[later bought out by Chysler). He was also Govenor of Michigan during the entire height of the Supremes' career, so this must have been a Detroit event.

I use to have another one of Mary and Diana with Jesse J and the 3 appeared to be laughing while running.

Nice run, Carlo. Many thanks.

Milven, that picture is from the 1966 Michigan State Fair.

Carlo,
Thanks for the pics. Awesome way to go back down memory lane. I know they were professionals and had to smile but, sometimes it looks as though they didn't know the camera was on them and they still were having a good time. At any rate thanks again.

[woodward]

That definitely is then-governor George Romney at the Michigan State Fair. There is a slightly different pose [[however same gowns, etc.) on page 154 of Hype & Soul [[Al Abrams excellent book).

Diana Ross is so pretty.

[motony]

The pix of Mary, a woman, Tom Jones & Diana...is that Tom Jones' wife?LOL.

[motony]

Thanks, Carlo...really enjoyed these photos. In so many ways it doesn't seem like that long ago.

[carlo]

You're welcome guys! I can't take credit for these photos, since I didn't take them myself, nor did I originally post them on the internet. I found them on different websites when I was searching Google last night. But I am more than happy to share!

[reese]

The pix of Mary, a woman, Tom Jones & Diana...is that Tom Jones' wife?LOL.

No, thank goodness. But Mary wrote that Tom did bring her backstage after their affair ended.

Grea Pics.....Thanks SO much..Paulo xxx

I think Mary looks great in most of those shots. There were a few hair-don'ts, though

[bradsupremes]

Great pictures!! I always felt Mary wore long wigs the best. Just about all of her long wigs looked good on her. Diana, on the other hand, always looked better with the shorter, bouffant wigs.

[luke]

My goodness-in one pic Mary looks skinnier than Diana!

[Glenpwood]

The pix of Mary, a woman, Tom Jones & Diana...is that Tom Jones' wife?LOL.

I am almost certain thats Princess Margaret......

[bradsupremes]

I am almost certain thats Princess Margaret......

That's not Princess Margaret. I want to say it might be it's a Duchess??

[stephanie]

Carlo, can you post more from the Jean era. I love seeing that grouping in the 60s gowns and the differences

[carlo]

The only rare Jean era photo I found during my search a few nights ago was the one I posted above. If I find more rare shots, I'll post them here.

[jobeterob]

I liked the pictures.

Is that woman the Duchess of Kent?

[floyjoy678]

How about this one? Never seen it before, I wonder what show they were performing on

[robbert]

Duchess of Kent? I remember the Duke and Duchess of [...] were fans and thew the girls a party at their estate during the start of their 1968 European tour.

What a great link, thanks for posting. There were a few pictures that I have never seen before: 4, 7, 13, 19, 20, 40, 46.

Some are just iconic pictures of the group: 14, 15, 16, 24, 25, 29, 33, 43, 49

On 37 and 38 Florence looks miserable.

Pic 50 is my all time favorite picture of D. Ross

It was the Duke and Dutchess of Bedford. It was the 'thing' to do during the swinging sixties for the nobs to 'hang out' with pop stars. Today it all seems slightly absurd.

Here's the story...
