Supremes Drop Glam For "Love Child"

1968

The Supremes eschew their elegant dresses and go casual to perform "Love Child" on The Ed Sullivan Show. Diana Ross wears a sweatshirt, which is in line with the character in the song.


The Supremes are known for their glamor, so this look is surprising. When they perform the song again on the show January 5, 1969, they wear matching outfits that are more typical Supremes.
