During the tumultuous Sixties and early Seventies, The Temptations moved smoothly from classic love songs to songs of relevance, approaching topics otherwise missing from pop singing groups. At the same time, the Supremes notched breakthroughs for African-Americans and for African-American women on stage and on television. Both groups brought people together, no matter their race, becoming more than merely the most successful vocal groups of their time but cultural icons. Both are inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and unanimously hailed among the greatest artists of the rock era.
Diana Ross & the Supremes / 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1969, a 3-disc set featuring every A- and B- side from their beginning, when they were known around Motown as the 'no-hit Supremes,' through their record-breaking triumphs, their 12 No. 1 hits, ending with their extraordinary decade-ending smash 'Someday We'll Be Together.'
The Temptations / 50th Anniversary: The Complete Singles 1961-1971, a 3-disc tribute to the original classic Temptations lineup, featuring every A- and B- side from their beginning, through their respective triumphs, including 'My Girl,' ' Can't Get Next To You' and 'Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me),' closing with the departures of original members Eddie Kendricks and Paul Williams. The digital version of this album also features the 'Soundtree' remix of Power which was made popular in a recent Blackberry advertisement.
Complementing the above CD releases will be The Best of The Temptations on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Best of The Supremes on The Ed Sullivan Show, both available now, which feature beloved appearances on the original Sunday night program by both groups. All three DVD collections are packed with classic Motown performances culled from the groundbreaking Ed Sullivan Show, taped live between 1964 and 1971, and all footage has been fully restored with the addition of never before released footage.
