You want to know why this song is still great? Play it for a 2 or 3 year old who has NEVER heard it and watch their reaction. It's honest. That's how you know a song stands the test of time.

The same concept rap and hip hop artists use, love being tested, and these girls did it without any of the vulgarity. Respect.

What I love most about this version it was prior to Flo and Mary's mic being lowered ... Flo is belting out Mary is crooning and of course Diana is excellent ... adds up to one great harmony and sound... Perfect!!

The Supremes, so elegant and classy, I miss their beautiful talent..

There are a lot of Supremes videos on KZfaq for us to enjoy and remember. One thing I didn't realize at the time was how many of their appearances were sung live. That just doesn't happen... The girls were not afraid of hanging it out there. Isn't it cool to hear the harmony even if the volume level isn't really balanced with Diana's lead? Florence and Mary were not just back-ups. You can understand Flo's frustration about, and respect Mary's willingness to subordinate herself to Diana.

These guys are my favorite Motown artists of all time. Which means theyre among the greatest acts of all time. Timeless

Hard to believe it's 40 years since Flo Ballard died. God rest you girl.

Mary Wilson's the pure example of the word, Lovely. She's upbeat and she's a hard worker. Mary Wilson is Supreme!

my god, diana is just so ridiculously beautiful, and that voice just complements her beauty perfectly

I always find it fascinating that the Supremes moved so little compared to the other Motown acts. They made a art form out of small gestures, subtle expressions and poise.

This song was written nearly 30 years before I was even born and I still love it =)

Great to hear live vocals. Motown music is such a gift.

Florence is so elegant!

They were just amazing-not only beautiful-but just looked (and sounded) great-love-the gowns and the do's. Thks 4 posting

Her voice is beautiful 😍😍

My mom loved this song rip mom july 20,2011 she passed away

The fact that we are still discussing Diana Ross, The Supremes, and Diana Ross and the Supremes FIFTY - FIFTY!!!!!!! - years after HER first number one song speaks volumes. Diana Ross famously sang with the Supremes for 5/6 years. She's been solo for 44 years. Enough said.

This was a performance that took them to the top,...all three harmonizing on their on individual mic's and giving you glamour and poise.

now 69. Grew up in the country. Learned to dance to the beat of MoTown. We all loved the Supremes!

I'm 17 and I love this. I wish music like this would come back. When people actually sang and didn't need all that autotune crap...

Sweet, beautiful and talented ladies, from the golden era of Motown and R&R. Glad I was a teenager then and not now. How long ago and far away it all seems.

Stop! *puts hand out* in the name of love, before you break my heart! :) I love this song. I'm 29 and enjoy The Supremes among other older music. My third grade class used to irritate the bus driver by singing the "Stop! In the name of love, before you break my heart." part of the song and Shari Lewis's This is the Song that Never Ends. Imagine a bunch of 8 year olds singing these 2 songs repeatedly both to AND from school and field trips lol.

A big reason why Diana Ross stood out from other black female singers of this era like Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, Martha Reeves etc was because her sound was distinctly different. She wasn't a soulful belter with a big range. Her voice was light and smooth and as such it gave her a crossover appeal with white audiences that many of her contemporaries didn't have. It's no surprise why "The Supremes" enjoyed the level of success that they did. Berry Gordy knew this and took full advantage of the situation by having her become the lead singer and the group scored a number of top charting hits during the 60's. That isn't to say he could have done a better job utilizing the talents of Mary Wilson and the late Florence Ballard instead of relegating them to backups and harmonies, but I suppose he didn't want to tamper with a winning formula which is what he had.

Love it. It is so refreshing to see live performances from this era that are not lip synced. That's very rare. If I wanted to hear the studio version, id just buy the album. Hearing them actually sing it live makes it so much more enjoyable.

The Supremes were all so elegant. I just love them so much!

Wish I could go back! Just a great time to be young! Love original Motown! The Supremes were great!

Maybe the most popular song of Supremes for Spanish audience. There is everywhere they are magic, glamour, style, soul, charming, beauty, sorrrow, love... Eternas Supremes!!! Kisses from Span

i have probably listened to this song more than any other song ever and no matter how many times i hear it i never get sick of it. One of the finest, most perfect pop records ever made

Remembering Grandma! Loved listening to this in her Volvo! She would come get me early from school to get ice cream….She would pop this little tune in. Made it special!

Reigning Queens....the Supremes, forever!

One of the Best they ever did..and lot of them very good for sure... Glad I grew up when they were coming up.. Thanks

So classy and glamorous

I love the " Supremes" my brother use to call me Diana ....I use to sing all their songs and had a lot of fun dancing to them.....Good days.....wonderful memories "Motown Sounds " We'll always love you,,,

they deliver with full fuckin force. you go girls. dangerous. so god damn beautiful

Great to see Tony Randell! The Supremes were awesome. Very talented women and very beautiful too!

Pure perfection. Simply beautiful.

It's impossible to think of this great song without also remembering the Stop gesture which was arguably their most famous bit of choreography. Thanks so much for posting this.

what ever happened to this style of music and meaningful lyrics, and amazing stories and talents

My nana loves this song

Excellent Supremes performance. This is the image the world fell in love with. Yes, the voice was Diana's but the image of the three girls on TV and on stage was what made them legendary... In my book all three Supremes get equal credit.

I've always had the hots for these babes. When I was a child I loved them sooo much.

On this day in 1965 {February 24th} the Supremes performed "Stop! In the Name of Love" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'... At the time the song was at #41 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and four weeks later on March 21st it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... Just over six years later on March 28th, 1971 Margie Joseph's covered version of the song entered the Top 100 at #97, the following week it was still at #97, and then on its third and final week on the chart it peaked at #96...

Mary is so pretty

Magic. Beautiful song. Beautiful women. Beautiful gowns. Such a delight to look back to a day and age when women knew how to look elegant and attractive without taking all their clothes off.

THE SUPREMES, RULE!! Just listen to, Diana’s, voice. I love these girls.

Florence on top harmony -- before - you- Mary Low Break -- all Together My Heart

The charismatic expressions of the marvelous ladies of soul will be unmatched forever! Diana's facial expressions while singing, actuate the lyrics with a type of intimate sensation with each word sang!

this song was stuck in my head today :)

my fav all time vid. renumbers watching her on tv as a very small child. voice is amazing.

when ur mom says to stop eating so much pizza..

i love the way Diana's voice sounds at 1:37-2:10.. all were amazing singers and wonderful people.. music wouldnt be the same without these women.

These 3 project reared angels were not just born with talent but the class that any High Brow click would envy and the sense to graduate school before signing with Berry. Love ya always D, Mary and miss ya Flo

OMG this is the song im singin in choir right now!

What a great line: "Stop in the name of love..." I like it very much and I'm only 24. Thanks!

On this day in 1965 {February 14th} "Stop! In The Name of Love" by the Supremes entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #80; and on March 21st it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} and spent 12 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #2 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... Was the fourth in a string of five straight #1 records by the trio; started with "Where Did Our Love Go" {2 weeks}, "Baby Love" {4 weeks}, "Come See About Me" {2 weeks}, this one, and finally "Back In My Arms Again" {1 week}... "Nothing But Heartaches" broke the string; it peaked at #11; but the girls bounced back with their next release, "I Hear A Symphony", which reached #1 {for 2 weeks}... R.I.P. Florence Ballard {1943 - 1976}...

You never knew what to expect on "The Hollywood Palace"--in this case, live vocals with the original recorded backing track.

GREAT SONG !

What more can can be said than "what a talent"

I love music from all time periods

so classy, i wish it was still like this

How things changed. Before, popular singers presented themselves elegantly dressed and adorned, and with beautiful hairstyles. They sang with the natural instrument of their own voice, with their own talent. And not only did they sing, they also had a beautiful choreography, and it must be added that they sang with very well pronounced language. Very different from the vulgarity that abounds today.

Dear Miguelina, I was touched very much by your comment. I also miss the purity and innocence we had in the music business in the past. The Supremes are one of my favorite music groups. At the moment I collected all my personal top of the pops - then I found them again and still love them

Na al die jaren, nog altijd fantastisch ! ! !

Wow! Great live performance!

Where Did Our Love Go? I Hear a Symphony You Can't Hurry Love You Keep Me Hangin On Love Is Like an Itchin In My Heart

The Supremes were called that because they WERE! I was there, saw it happen, It was a time like no other time. It was so awesome, if you weren't born then, I feel sorry for you, because you missed out big time.

beautiful song and group!

There is something magical about this group, especially in this clip. It is so classy, elegant and mysterious. For one moment you could hear, smell, feel the 60s. There is something about Diana Ross, you just keep looking at her, her voice represents the mid-60s. What a difference in the way women&men in clips are behaving nowadays, bad langguage, sexual intimidation, pornographic content.

What a great memory! :D

This is awesome

This video makes me happy. great..

Diana use to do the eye rolls and stretching them during those early years but in an interview in 1965 she was told by friends and others to stop that. She eventually did but you had to give it to Diana. She did what she could to get noticed and it worked. The eye popping/rolling, the heavy eye make up, and the big wigs. Let's not forget the high shoulders act that went along with everything else. Mary, Flo, Diana were truly Supreme.

Glamour and charm all over!!. MARAVILLOSAS.

Florence such an amazing voice & so beautiful :)

i'm dancing the song you sang and I going to perform on tv!

I am so proud of these ladies. :)
