Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SUPREMES!

If you've been following Johnny on Twitter this week he's been retweeting a lot of factoids on The Supremes being posted by Motown in mentioning some of their amazing number of awards and #1 hits. There's never been a better girl group. Not one. Diana, Mary & Florence with 'Reflections' getting us started tonight. This is the rare version with the cold ending you've most likely never heard before.

You didn't think we'd have a New Years Eve party without some Motown did you?

Silly Goose.

Ah yes, the Detroit boy in Johnny sometimes shows through. Did you know then that the Supremes hold the record for knocking The Beatles out of the #1 Billboard slot more than any other act in history?

And Supreme they were. Did you know The Supremes had 12 #1 hits? They had 5 #1 hits in a row at one point. They had a #2 and several other top twenty hits. They went head to head with The Beatles and Rolling Stones at the height of the British Invasion and knocked the Brit lads from the top of the charts several times. And, as strange as it sounds, they NEVER won a Grammy. Not ever.

As Motown celebrates it's 50th anniversary Monday with a worldwide celebration, The Jersey City Desk wants to help celebrate a great great American sound. We're gonna kick things off with The Supremes and the timeless classic 'Baby Love' from 1964.
