Martha did a great job on “Wild Night.” Van Morrison, who wrote the song, had a Top 30 hit with it in 1971. Both versions are top notch. Martha’s entire album is terrific. It should have been a...
Holland-Dozier had the smarts to change up the arrangement for Chris Clark. It suits her jazzy style very well. Nella Dodds’ vocals were pretty good on her version but the instrumentation doesn’t...
“Selfish One” hit it big in the summer of 1964 but it was recorded by Jackie Ross. Fontella Bass’s smash was “Rescue Me” in the fall of 1965. Neither artist sounded like Mary Wells but “Selfish...
Great analysis danman869. The performance couldn’t have been better. Just listen to the audience’s response at the end!
Could Van McCoy have done some magic with “the girls?"
My favorite Junior Walker recording by a mile. One of my favorite Motown recordings hands down; maybe #1 on my list. What a rocker!
Would the song’s success have been any greater [[than #22 Billboard Pop) if it was recorded with the Vandellas in the background instead?
Now that makes perfect sense, bradsupremes! “These Things...” always sounded like a Supremes song to me. And it certainly seemed out of place on Diana’s first solo album.
Would have loved for...
Great interview with three lovely ladies who were so important in developing the Motown Sound.
If this has already been discussed, my apologies.
On their final Ed Sullivan appearance, near the end of “Someday We’ll Be Together” Mary utters some of the words Johnny Bristol did on the...
If this has been discussed in the past, my bad.
“Mind, Body and Soul” was written by Dunbar and Wayne [[the latter being H-D-H) and published by H-D-H’s Gold Forever company. It is not,...
I’d say that one of her best is “I Can’t Give Back The Love I Feel For You.” A very strong performance.
Same backing track by the Funk Brothers, same background singing by the Andantes!
“Stoned Love” - Supremes [[single version)
“Going Down For The Third Time” - Supremes
“I’ll Keep Holding On” - Marvelettes
“My Baby Must Be A Magician” - Marvelettes
“Too Busy Thinking About My...
In Laguna Woods, California.
Last night I attended a performace of “Supreme Reflections: A Loving Tribute to the Music of Diana Ross and The Supremes.” Three young women sang the songs of Diana, Mary, Flo and Cindy while a man...
I just finished listening to disc 1 and all I can say is that this is super, super SUPREME and so so worth the wait! Everything about this project is showered with the love of its producers, from...
The “live" version, with Mary, Cindy and Scherrie, imho, is one of the best performances given by any version of the Supremes. It really gave each member the opportunity to shine.
There are different mixes of the song, especially with regard to the drum solo near the end. On the original single the drums are very prominent and noisy [[in a good way)! On other versions they...
“Live Wire” killed the momentum for Martha & The Vandellas. It was too much in the mold of “Heat Wave” but not nearly as good as it or “Quicksand.” It also jinxed “In My Lonely Room” which was much...
“Money, who needs it. Let me live my life free and easy.”
Junior Walker & Allstars, [[I’m A) Road Runner
Yes, reese, the early fade out sort of kills the production. I wonder why that wasn’t corrected.
Not a bad version, the truncated ending notwithstanding.
