The Supremes: Someday We'll Be Together - Original Mix

[Jakareh75]

O infidels! know that the time will come when enjoying this music will cost you dearly.

Thus says the tradition of Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Seal of the Prophets, and the Best of Men: "On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress."

Infidels! accept Islam, repent of your sinful ways, bow before Allah, live according to the example of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

This song happens to be a personal favorite of mine, especially when this song came to mind when i graduated from 8th Grade back in the 80's. What memories. Thanks for sharing this classic.

[turiello1965]

[pbsandcspanwatchit]

WOw, I love the original as I know the original on the best of the Supremes LP I wore out in the early 70=s ,I don' t know how old it was or when it was released buy my older sis had it and I was about 12/13 ,

Gotta get some CDs!!!

However , I love this so much!! It's close enough to the other but with unique nuances with like you are there with Diana's voice so clear, thank you for this!!

[RFKFANTS67]

Makes me think of my 69 Pontiac Laurentien ugh......

[BORN2SHOP4U]

This is my favorite song by the Supremes.They were the best and the band was out of sight,really great.I love them all.

[babyceli1]

[DetroitLives313]

I remember it snowed a lot that winter. Thank God for radio!

[suedemiddleton]

@bostonsurfboard

original, as in, first pressing of the song. Before the finalization.

[cbjrcher]

I sometimes imagine the gems sitting in the vaults never heard or released

[TheEriekayaker]

Incredible !! The BEST version of this wonderful song I've always loved. Thank you suemiddleton for giving us this. It's going into my IPOD. This is MUSIC !!!

[THEmotownboy]

This is NOT the original mix...This was a new remix of the alternate version done for the "Lost & Found" CD release....

[suedemiddleton]

@THEmotownboy

I know.

I just thought the Name would apeal more

[THEmotownboy]

@suedemiddleton - It certainly worked on me...:) You have great taste in music.

[suedemiddleton]

@THEmotownboy

[Ember4ya]

[butteroffdead]

Diana at her best with Marvin Gaye as back up and the FUNK BROTHERS playing all the music great song

[GarudaStudio]

@butteroffdead That's not Marvin Gaye - the male vocalist is producer Johnny Bristol.

[yeksirf]

absolutely lovely!!! Thank You so much!

[dbeater1]

very nice ..love the photos..the insrumentals of The Funk Brothers made the record companies back in the day Rich. While they and most of the talent of that era made hardly any money at all..

[ultragoji1]

Nice. An alternate version of my favorite Supremes song. To me... it sounds like Diana was trying to find her "niche" with how she wanted to sing this sing. Still, it's a beautiful song that deserves much credit - being it's from 1 of the best Mowtown performers of all-time. Thanks again.

[santamara]

Beauty!! Love it!

Thank you and Resonantforce for sharing!

xo

[afrikana01]

it IS Diana - i like the laid back way she's doing it

[afrikana01]

it IS Diana w/one of the Temps

[MrDSmooth56]

Florence and Mary were better looking than Diana,Love this song.

[delicflower]

this is the song we always play at the old folk's home during their "dance"

[ncmelusa]

they should disable comments for youtube. some pof your postings are just stupid and idiotic

[blkshepherd]

Diana Never sings this song( not in the past 3xs in over 25ys I seen her live) up to recently. Jun 4 10, Yet, Mary who was Not on the recording of this song, sings it in every one of her concerts .the original Supreme(diana)who was on the original recording and Only Supreme on the recording wont sing it Live anymore, and original Supreme(Mary) who was not on the recording sings it all the time.how odd. If someone has a recording of Diana singing this song since Motown 25 i want to See it.

[cyurutihs]

@blkshepherd GUILT! R..I.P.FLO

[blkshepherd]

@cyurutihs Please put the crack pipe down, Florence Ballard was No where in the Supremes and had been Gone two years. Guilt? Yeah Thats Why Mary Wilson sings this tired ass song that I never liked. because she feels guilty for causing the last reunion to fail..with her non talented ass

[THEOBC2315]

that's diana ross, nobody else.

[derwent]

This is the take issued on the Lost and Found set isn't it?

[suedemiddleton]

@derwent

yes it is.

[divalish]

Why is Mary copping a feel @ 1:39? LOL! Some of these photos are very sweet; you can see they really were a tight knit group and truly cared for one another. Just love Miss DeMiddleton!

[Jobeterob]

Actually, there are people who were at Motown that have confirmed Johnny Bristol's ad libs were recorded after Diana recorded the song; Berry liked them and said they should stay.

[paultinsel]

miss ross don't have the chops for a version like this

[strandwolf]

@paultinsel I beg to differ. We can live w/o her "diva" baggage certainly--but there is soul and voice aplenty. Check out "Never Again", the very early Supremes track.

[ABITTERSWEETGIRL]

just wonderful ...

[skindog4u]

i actually prefer this cut its raw and basic but it comes across as being true

[badn1ss]

Thank you so much for posting this video

I Love this version....so emotional

[TarotGirl1]

Mr. Gordy provided background vocals to Miss Ross via her earphones. To encourage her to sing and they are in love.

[theEdinero]

perhaps the most seamless track ever.

[theEdinero]

UNBELIEVEABLE, can music really be THIS good, I was born in 1979, why did such great music come before my time. This along with Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Isley Brothers pre-dated my time but this classic music touches my heart and soul as if it were written for me. Beatiful, flawless track.

[Ronbodog]

Never heard this version b4. Great Find

[pepsicola510]

damn black people. how cute

[Teflon65]

Beautiful, gorgeous music! Wonderful song. Can't say enough good things about it.

[fireMISSION357]

Thanks suedemiddleton for posting this beautiful song. I love motown.

[1974Asha]

who actually did the male vocals in this? I love this version and its very difficult to find a version wiv the male voccal in it, I have the released version on tape, from their best of but on utube? its only the supremes vocals on them...(?)

[drummyj57]

@1974Asha

Johnny Bristol (deceased) the producer. There's a story (unverified?) that Diana Ross was finding it emotionally difficult to sing the song. His bg vocals apparently intended to encourage her sounded so good in the playback that it was decided to keep it. The rest as they say is history.

[drummyj57]

@drummyj57

...a bit more: the formula worked so well that he repeated several years later on La La Peace song that he produced for Al Wilson and O C Smith.

[myke1958]

Back in the early 70's I heard a radio interview with Johnny where he said that Diana was tired, she'd been in the studio for about 8hours recording, and so he was singing in the studio feed that only she could hear to "motivate" her. In another interview I heard with Diana, she said "he was really sounding good and she, along with several other people, said they really ought to leave his voice in the recording.

[TheMrMarilyn]

@1974Asha Ya know it isn't (wasn't MEANT to be a "male lead" on the track...the situation was Diane had Johnny in the recording booth standing next to her as she sang the lead,and instead of him SAYING what he wanted from her vocal he just SANG the 'instructions'!!If you listen to what he's saying/singing to her you'll hear him encouraging/coaxing the sexy/breathy type lead he wanted from her,& as Motown was to all intents and purposes an 8 track recording set up they couldn't wipe his voice!!)

[zoebar57]

Oldies but real Goldies-Love it x

[redlabs]

this is on the new cd SUPREMES LOST AND FOUND

[MrDaveSmokes]

I hate to say it but this is a fabulous fake. No, the alternate vocal by diana & the music track are original. However, the hannond organ at the beginning is not. You can CLEARLY hear the analog tape hiss after the organ and where the original music track starts. Someone had some fun with this. The hammond organ was mic'd in stereo. They didn't do that back then.

[THEmotownboy]

This song is a "companion" to "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You" on Diana's 1970 solo LP...Both songs were produced by Johnny Bristol and recorded aroud the same time..The mono mix of TTWKMLY has an organ on it....I would not be surprised if this organ was on the original multi-track of "Someday.." , but not used in the original released mix...

[dallas7891]

This is more of a demo if anything.

[MisterMarilyn]

This is ALSO a TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEAD vocal from Diane as well!!It SOUNDS like a 'guide vocal' to me (that singers put down just to mark the melody line and come back on a different occasion to do it 'properly'!!) as it juss don sound like Diane's 'performing' the lead...if i were a betting person i'd lay money that this is a guide vocal!!Where the HELL did you find THIS man??YUou got access to Motowns vaults or summat,LoL!!Thanks for this...fab!!!!

[suedemiddleton]

LOL, i found it online

[pawpawbear02]

Hi there saw your posting, this is the last performance of the supremes; infact the only one singing on the track is Diana no one else, I heard some motown guys talking on the BBC about this track the other week its fantastic.

[kirbygene]

Nice alternate version. I always liked Bristols counterpoints so it's nice to hear them a bit louder

[supremesfan2]

oceanprick!!! I love how it continues to show how you hate that you were not there to sing with Diane!!! I bet you can clean a mean toilet also since you have no recording contract!!!

[supremesfan2]

oceanprick, in that case definately it wasn't you either!!! Now!!! Hope it keeps eating your guts out!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[supremesfan2]

oceanprick, you are so stupid you can't even get this one right! It was not the Andantes, it was Maxine and Julia Waters!!!

[paul51]

I love this . . . thanks so much for this gem!!

[AzzedineAliaFan]

Thanks for sharing Paul & Suedemiddleton, but i like the original better . . .not feeling this one. . .
