Released in May 1968 as Tamla 54166(on Motown's Tamla Records imprint)has that Jr. Walker & The All-Stars-type feel!

I have three favorites by the Marvelettes: "Here I am Baby", "Baby must be a magician" and "Don't mess with Bill". I thought they are great as a kid and I have equally respect for them as an adult. Furthermore, I became a "one day Marvelette" as an adult--jealously ousted my career with them.

By 1964, The Marvelettes faced major competition, not only from Motown upstarts like The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas, They refused to record a song titled "Where Did Our Love Go", written by the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team. Instead, The Marvelettes chose to record "Too Many Fish In The Sea" which resulted in a minor hit. Meanwhile, Holland-Dozier-Holland took "Where Did Our Love Go?" to The Supremes, who made the song a #1 pop and R&B hit..and the rest is history

This has got to best about the best lyrics Smokey ever came up with. Clever, sharp, snappy. His writing created CLASSIC music for the Marvelettes. Would they have even had the same quality elswhere than Motown? I shudder to imagine.

From what I know, Smokey did not specifically write this for Barbara McNair. In '66 he was focused on The Marvelettes, specifically Wanda.Motown did not promote Barbara McNair.

One of my favorites. I played this version on my show last week. I too like the original version by Barbara McNair.

I wish someone would post Barbara's version. She did a REALLY good job with it.

BArbara McNair was more of a pop ( Dionne Warwick, 5th Dem...) vocalist that a R& B singer ...to me anyway I could'nt imagine her singing this song...Aretha Franklin YES!

This is a great tune, written by Smokey for Barbara McNair in 1966. Great selection!

You beat me to the punch, I was going to mention Smokey wrote this for Barbara McNair. Love her version too.
