I've always loved Martha, saw her perform live once, circa 1967! She was fabulous!

Much better than Diana Ross in my opinon. Thanks for posting!

Best female band of the 60's.

Such a fabulous song. Martha at her best!

[Babyhowdy233]

IMHO this was Martha's magnum opus, THE BEST vocal performance she ever gave. It was a damn shame that Gordy routinely shorted Martha and The Vandellas in favour of his lover Diana Ross, giving Diana the best songs available, Martha herself admitted this, while passing onto Martha those that were considered minors. When Martha did manage to get a good-un WOW, what she was capable of!

I swear that Martha could and DID sing circles around Ross any day of the week.

@Babyhowdy233 Spot on commentary-how true!!!

[SpazChat]

@Babyhowdy233 , You are beating a dead horse. Even Flo admitted that Diana was best suited for cross over appeal, which was very important at the time. The 60's in the USA, sadly enough was when black people were still treated like 3rd class citizens, and Motown became famous right on the cusp of the civil rights movement era

Many "B" sides (Gosh this shows my age lol) were as good. - if not better than some of the "A" sides lol.

However I did notice that this particular recording the bass guitar was distorting a little, resulting in a fuzzy sound, but of course recordings in those days were not as brilliant compared to today's standards.... .
