A special THANK YOU to Larry Good, of Saline, MI., for contributing this featured WXYZ chart — December 22, 1964 — with Motor City Radio Flashbacks.

Earlier in the year, Larry contributed 16 WXYZ 1964 charts for the website’s archive.

Thank you for this WXYZ Detroit radio contribution. Inasmuch, this site realizes these WXYZ charts from 1964 are scarce, having been a most difficult find today as in recent years. Much appreciated! 🙂

A 1965 DECEMBER MEMORY: THE SUPREMES OPENS AT ‘THE ROOSTERTAIL’

THE SUPREMES 1965

 

THE SUPREMES LIVE IN PERSON AT THE ROOSTERTAIL!

—DECEMBER 17-29, 1965—

_______________

In December 1965, Motown Recording artists, The Supremes, booked a 13 day engagement at the popular Detroit nightclub venue, The Roostertail. According to the Detroit Free Press, the Supremes were scheduled beginning Friday, December 17 through Wednesday, December 29.

After their Detroit engagement, the group toured the south for several days with The Lovin’ Spoonful. The Detroit Free Press (Sunday, December 5, 1965) reported that The Supremes, “one of the hottest singing groups in the world” was close to completing their seventh album for Motown Records, ‘I Hear A Symphony‘.

The 1965 world famous Detroit girl group was also scheduled to tour the east, and they “will be the first entertainers (with Judy Garland) to appear in the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, will go to Hollywood for their third appearance with Ed Sullivan, and will get as far as San Juan, Puerto Rico,” according to the newpaper.
