Ross & the Supremes and the Temptations performed several of the songs from their joint album on their headlining "TCB" television special which aired in December 1968 and it was originally planned that their rendition of "The Impossible Dream", the special's climactic performance, be their joint album's lead single. However radio stations began playing the "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" track off their advance copies of "Diana Ross & the Supremes Join The Temptations" compelling Motown to make "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" the single release even though it was not performed on "TCB". Indeed, the Ross/Supremes & Temptations version was never to be performed live (the Temptations did perform "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" on "The Ed Sullivan Show", Diana Ross and The Supremes performed the song which was recorded during their farewell performance in Las Vegas in 1970 and Diana Ross performed the song on "The Hollywood Palace" as a duet with Stevie Wonder).
