The final chapter of Diana Ross & The Supremes. This moving final live performance marked the moment Diana Ross left the band, and will remain in Motown history.
This live album captures the final performance of the group, held at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas in January 1970. It includes a medley of their signature songs, including "Baby Love," as well as their final single, "Someday We'll Be Together," and conveys the group's culmination.
From the opening medley, Diana Ross's soaring voice and the beautiful choruses of Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong overlap beautifully, clearly demonstrating the Supremes' unique perfection. The structure of the show, which features one hit after another, maintains the glamour and tension of a show, and is fully worthy of a Las Vegas performance. The audience's reaction to "Stop! In the Name of Love" is recorded live, conveying the excitement of the venue. The closing track, "Someday We'll Be Together," with its selection and vocals that evoke a sense of separation, leaves a lasting impression. More than just a live album, this is a valuable historical record that captures a turning point in Motown's golden age.
