Fan gets a little too close to Diana Ross...

Classless act.....total disrespect towards the performer and everyone who paid to enjoy the evening who endured it....do some people actually go to events these days intending to do outrageous things thinking it make them the star of the moment via social media?...there is a very early B&W clip of the Marvellettes at the Apollo [[?) singing Locking Up My Heart at breakneck pace...a good natured and fun loving fan is flirting back and forth with Wanda. He suddenly jumps on the stage, dances with Wanda who is singing and enjoying it, and then runs over and forms a train with the other girls who are dancing into the wings...that was harmless and fun...and over 50 years ago! BTW..Wanda appears to "moonwalk" in high heels here too...clip is on youtube...I believe its Motorcity or Motown at the Apollo

I love that clip, especially how the Marvelettes change microphones whether it's Gladys or Wanda on lead. Such a fun looking show. A great book on this era is "Showtime at the Apollo." The author talks all about the great performers from the 40s through the 60s who played at the Apollo and really makes me wish I could have been there.
