Video: 'Supremes final performance'

(Wednesday, January 14, 1970, 11:54 p.m.-1:00 a.m. PST) — Diana Ross & The Supremes (Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong) performed their last concert together tonight at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

At the conclusion of the show, new Supremes lead singer Jean Terrell was brought onstage and introduced to the audience.

Ross, Wilson and Birdsong would reunite only once — for a visibly tense performance of “Someday We’ll Be Together” at the Motown 25th anniversary TV special in 1983.
