TCB was a 1968 live television special produced by Motown Productions and George Schlatter-Ed Friendly Productions. The special was a musical revue starring Motown's two most popular groups at the time, Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations. Containing a combnation of showtunes, specially prepared numbers, and popular Motown hits, the special was taped before a live studio audience in September 1968 and originally broadcast December 9, 1968 on NBC. The title of the program uses a then-popular acronym, "TCB", which stands for "Taking Care of Business".

The special was one of a number of Supremes/Temptations join projects during the late-1960s. The Supremes had recently replaced Florence Ballard with Cindy Birdsong and The Temptations had just switched David Ruffin with Dennis Edwards, and doing a high-profile television special such as this one helped to familiarize the audience with the new members. In addition, since the Supremes had a primarily white audience and the Temptations a primarily Black audience, the special allowed the audiences of each to cross over to and augment the audiences of the other. Finally, the special was a major showcase for Diana Ross, designed as one of the first steps towards launching her impending solo career, which officially began in January 1970.

Among the program's highlights were Diana Ross' "Afro Vogue" solo spot, Paul Williams' emotionally-charged rendition of "For Once in My Life", and a performance by The Temptations, with Eddie Kendricks on lead, of their 1966 hit "Get Ready".

A soundtrack album, TCB – The Original Cast Soundtrack was released the day after the special aired on December 10 and reached #1 on the U.S. pop albums chart. A follow-up television special and album, G.I.T. on Broadway, were created the following year.
