On December 27, 1964, exactly sixty years ago today, three high-schoolers growing up in the Detroit projects appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Originally known as The Primettes, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard would go on to become the most successful “girl group” in history, The Supremes.
The Supremes first appeared on the Sullivan stage on December 27, 1964 to perform their smash single, Come See About Me which I wrote about earlier this year (link below). In the early black and white TV performance, the girls wore simple dresses and matching bouffant hair-dos, and the audience fell in love with their infectious charm and appeal.
