G.I.T. on Broadway (1969): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1969, G.I.T. on Broadway is a musik film directed by Grey Lockwood, running about 60 minutes. “The Supremes and The Temptations team up for an hour of song.” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. G.I.T. on Broadway was a 1969 television special produced by Motown Productions and George Schlatter-Ed Friendly Productions. The special, a follow-up to 1968's successful TCB program, was a musical revue starring Motown's two most popular groups at the time, Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations. Containing primarily Broadway showtunes, the special was taped before a live studio audience in mid-1969 and originally broadcast November 12, 1969 on NBC. Like TCB, the title of the program was derived from an acronym, this one standing for "Gettin' It Together". A soundtrack album for the special, titled On Broadway, was issued the same month the program aired. Though there were no singles released from this album in the states, "The Rhythm of Life" did become a Top 20 hit for the ensemble in Australia. Two months after its release, Diana Ross left The Supremes to start a solo career.

Who’s in it. G.I.T. on Broadway stars Diana Ross as Self, Mary Wilson as Self, Cindy Birdsong as Self and Otis Williams as Self, among others.
