Music video
At the beginning of the music video, Diana Ross sings the song on a stage, and you can see her in both color and black and white photography . The black and white photography scenes are live performances by the Supremes in a studio. In intermediate scenes, Ross walks along a path and is accompanied by background dancers during the performances. The audience then dances in both the color and black and white scenes. When both sequences of scenes meet, the producer suffers a nervous breakdown in the black and white scenes at the end.
