@fwainseattle Ashford and Simpson, the Andantes and several other Motown studio singers. The Andantes were backing vocalists on numerous Motown tracks, they're as influential (and unsung) as the Funk Brothers.
THE WORDS TO THIS SONG ARE AMAZEING IT SAYS WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAY TO MY GIRL ALL ALONG THE ONE THING IN HER LIFE SHE CAN ALWAYS DEPEND ON IS ME.. NO MATTER WHAT SHE DOES TO ME OR WHAT SHES SAYS ABOUT ME I'LL ALWAYS BE THERE TO PICK HER UP WHEN SHE FALLS BECAUSE I LUV HER ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL
When I feel lonely or depressed God puts this song on the radio for me ...im still Gods baby although Im 18 and 6'3 =) praise Jesus praise Jesus mm mm mmm I love em!!!
Sorry to see that Nick Ashford who wrote this song has passed away just recently and now Dobie Gray who did the great song... The In Crowd. What is killing off all the great black American singers before their time?
God, I love this song. Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote some really great music. Diana took this song to another level! Too bad they don't write and sing music like this today. Thanks for posting.
cool version of the tam and marv... great post. its only music! every religion who they may be ,colour ,creed ,we all want love and happiness, so you all PEOPLE angry,chill when you get the chance and SING YR LUNGS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XX
@eoriol1955 that is such a terrific comment, that I just had to give you a standing ovation...then again, it you play your cards right, ending up in the arms of God, As good as those two ladies are
In the Arms of a God who Loves to the max, you will never even notice what you missed....but I applaud your statement of truth-Now I could possibly hook you up with a great Aunt Esther or Moms Mabley look alike!
I am thinking of a VIP room in heaven where god rewards the ones who behaved well for a certain period of time...Otherwise,I rather go to hell and hang out with the devil.
@eoriol1955 not to butt in, but i will of course. I dont know if your being trying to be funny, or whatever, but you have a real misconception of hell. The devil aint there to hang out with you. You perish there.
@eoriol1955 God bless your soul, if you are so sad to think perishing at all is the life you want. How has god been cruel to you? In what way has he personally victimised you?
By the way,how can you make such bold statements about a god of your imagination?How can you be so selfishly arrogant and pretentious at the same time?Thanks for the standing ovation though and i wish you the ownership of your mind and spirit.
I love to see and hear Diana perform this song in person! The audience always comes to it's feet!! The atmosphere becomes super charged and everyone joins in singing the song with her!! All reservations and inhibitions are thrown to the wind and she tears it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great song ! Great time! Great singer! SUPER LADY!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you, Miss DIANA ROSS!!!!!
Man! Sigh... MAN!! And if you don't know what I mean...then you have never loved; lost love; or had a love you lost...and you are way too young understand this song...sigh! Man...
To take what was even by then one of Motown's most iconic hits (the Marvin & Tammi version), strip it down to it's bare bones then re-fit it with a different flavour yet still keep it recognisably 'Mountain' - Ashford & Simpson, you're geniuses.
AMEN, ALLELUIAH AND AWWWRIGHT, Troy..........Could NOT possibly agree with you more. The irreplaceable Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson will ALWAYS be remembered in the world of ETERNAL TRUE SOUL MUSIC as True Geniuses. I've NEVER heard a song like "Ain't No Mountain" so IMPECCABLY re-worked, and in a completely different, soul-ballad way. MUSIC IS THE MAGIC in our lives, and reminds us of JUST HOW SHORT & SWEET life is, and we owe it to ourselves to GO FOR OUR DREAMS!
@TroyConvers5000 Agree with you and the Marvin and Tammi version had James Jamerson on bass but who ever did this one managed to top him! The funk brothers are the greatest band ever poss bar the Beatles.
The sound of this video is magnificent, this is one of my favorites songs of all times. Thanks for posting, the photos are more special than others videos. :D This song contains a powerful and complete Philosophy of life !!..
at my last meeting I had to pick one song to sum up my life and this is the song I chose I will always pick this CLASSIC TRACK a star thanks for the post...
@ross61m Must have been a tough decision with all the good songs Diana recorded. Diana's voice is like silk and chocolate, a misty rain and velvet, gentle breezes. ahh..
I've loved this song since I was 10 back in the 60's!
