Diana Ross & The Supremes' "Love Child" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1968. With all the girls barefoot and Diana Ross in a shabby oversized sweatshirt, this performance was a stark departure from the Supremes’ glitzy and glamorous gowns. “Love Child” was the first record led by the new songwriting team, “The Clan,'' that aimed to tell a message about society in addition to writing irresistible melodies and hooks. | Supremes
