This song, I listened to on the radio in France Jazz Radio 96.2, the last night I was with my girlfriend. It was hard to go home back to the States on the next day because I heard the same song in a car radio at the train station!

[jap8]

just one word excellent , enough said

[SoulsurferUK08]

@jap8 Thanks for the comment, excellent indeed to me also, like most of Martha`s stuff, not forgrtting The Vandellas of course. Such great memories.

[hullsoulboy]

Not only an fantastic vocal from Martha, but an awesome production too. Johnny Bristol & H.B.Barnum nailed this...love the heartbeat when she sings "No One There"...very clever indeed. A truly beautiful piece of Soul.

[christheone8773]

@hullsoulboy I have the "Black Magic" CD from which this track comes from, and in MY opinion, this track should have been released as a single!

[hullsoulboy]

@christheone8773 This track was released as a single in the UK in 1971 b/w (I've Given You) The Best Years Of My Life. Pretty scarce these days!

[stephenpaulbeckett]

@hullsoulboy tried to find any sort of hard copy for this . Bloody impossble. Any ideas?

[rwilhite]

@stephenpaulbeckett It's on the "Tamla Motown Connoisseurs" CD.

[stephenpaulbeckett]

@rwilhite Thanks. Got it now. llp p

[stevewaugh2]

Soulful gem from "Black Magic" show Martha Reeves is a totally great DIVA...mesmerizing & hypnotic, this is classic...Bravo Martha!!!

[BlueUSAspy]

I'm going to have to find my signed copy of seeing them at the London Palladium..! I don't use the interenet a lot but I'm glad that other people care about similar music..!

[fujlop]

Saw Martha sing this at Leicester De mont about 3 tears ago.. No big production just martha .. Mind blowing....

[SoulsurferUK08]

Many thanks for the comment, a fabulous memory for many from the wonderful Martha.

[stephenpaulbeckett]

Real Motown, Thanks for posting it. What a sad song. Just wish we could have oneromantic dance without the mass participation of our local soul nights in the West Mids. But hey ,look on the positive side at least they are still playing this 45 yrs later.Motown doesn't rock, It moves!!! Love light and peace Paul Beckett

[SoulsurferUK08]

Many thanks Paul, great comments, Motown classic for me this track, thats for sure.

[davedashman]

Grown up with motown and soul since mid sixties and only heard this last year,but guess it must be one of greatest undiscovered hits of all time :) Unless of course you live in the NE of England in which case it is the last track they play every night at certain discos..allegedly..lol

Please don't tell Terry Wogan bout this track ;)

[SoulsurferUK08]

Many thanks for the comment, much appreciated, great to share this stuff with like minded Soulies. And NO I will not be sharing it with Wogan, LOL .

[stephenpaulbeckett]

wthf is terrywogan?

[stephenpaulbeckett]

Hi there davedashman, Think i must be like you, hadn't heard this tune until 2007.Haven't managed to get it on my 'phone yet .Will you keep trying. As earlier wtf is terry wogan,could he be irish? he'll get over that.He may not recover from being a piss taking sardonic tosser,but thats another Irish question

[tonypilki3]

This is probably the most popular motown track played at my local soul night. Its gets lots of requests and fills the dancefloor everytime. A Motown gem !!

Many thanks

[SoulsurferUK08]

Thanks again for the comment Tony, Its one of my favourite tracks from Martha, although I love all her stuff really, just class.

[tamla54]

this is brilliant my friend ive never heard this one but ilike it. was it a b side or an a side. thanks for posting it

[SoulsurferUK08]

My pleasure. It was a UK release,recorded by Martha for the UK market back in 71. I am told she performs it regularly at her UK concerts to a great ovation. A fantastic track .

[otis123redding]

This is the best thing she has ever done - just brilliant, I never tire of listening to it.

[SoulsurferUK08]

Many thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I notice you have a version of this already in your faves. you must love this as I do.

[otis123redding]

Yes, I really really do, went to a lot of trouble asking people where I could buy it a couple of years ago only to find I had it on a Motown CD already. duh............being a bit of a technophobe how do you know I have it in my faves???

[SoulsurferUK08]

Hi, I bet you found it on Motown Hitsville UK ?

I had a look at your channel, its in there mate. LOL

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Regards.

[SoulsurferUK08]

Thanks for the comment, its a great track, never get tired of listening to it. Very envious of the fact you saw Martha do this live, but I can live with having the track, LOL

[motorcitymanc]

fantastic i can remeber this being issued as a solo single for martha in 73 even though it was from the brilliant black magic album prev issued i heard her sing this live 4 years ago!!

[SoulsurferUK08]

Thanks a lot. Almost 40 years old now this track, and I still play it regularly, quality always stands the test of time I guess. Many thanks for leaving a comment.
