It makes me so sad that people don't know who the original singer of this song was. Even more that it is considered such a rare track because it's one of the greatest!
@djhaylow It's very nostalgic when I think of those days, of course it's different today, but I miss those times very much, all that talent that there was at Motown in the 60's etc JOHN
I was so surprised to find out Stevie's version was a cover of hers! This was done with the usual Motown brilliance. I thing he was 16 when he wrote this...Wow!
This version is ON FIRE!!! I never heard this until a couple of weeks ago and girlfriend brought it,don't get me wrong Stevies' version is on point as well,but this is the epitome of the 60's sound.Stunningly Beautiful!!! Thank you Mr,Magic 1959 from Prints 76...
oh boy i cant pick they are both great and different styles or should i say times! stevie with mj is a good dance version but tammi's voice just makes you feel good.. thanks for the post!
I LOVE Stevie Wonders version - but this.... this is absolutely fantastic. I didn't think it was possible to do better than Stevie, but this is close to his version.
Wow, all of this talent Motown had on its roster... but he concentrated on a certain female group with a certain female singer whose voice was just okay. FWIW this rendtition by Ms Tammi Terrell was fantastic!
if you could bottle this type of class ud b a millionaire ;timeless tammi terrel,ps i have a son named marvin and daughter named tamla,move with your feet,feel with your heart,keep the faith
@GrandHearer & bigtee: They are really sleeping on a TT film with Tarji P Henson(look her up) in the lead role. She's an oscar nominated actress that looks so much like Tammi. If I only had money instead of looks.
Ms.Terrell should of had a movie by now...she is one of the best singers still till this day...and the sad thing about it is she was only 24 when she died:(...
One day a really smart movie producer will use this song as its main theme and it will bring tons of promo support for the film -and FINALLY get all of the attention it should have received years ago. Of course the question is will Universal/Motown have the marketing sense to know how to capitalize on the hype??? Here's hoping!
its so sad the story of tammi terrel i read she was severly beaten by her boyfriend and later died of a brain tumor cuased by a contusion recieved by being repeatedly beaten to a pulp and was even hit over the head with a steel chair.died at only 24 yrs old she is a ledgend still to me look we are listening to her now im 25 yrs old discovering her.
Just watched Tammy Terrell's unsung and it's amazing how experienced her voice was for her to be so young, I never knew all the songs she sang before but I am researching them all now cause her talent was priceless it's a shame how the music industry let her memory just fade to black.
@missaries0183 I totally agree. I have been doing the same thing and I have been researching her songs all week. Her voice blows my mind, so young and such a strong voice.
only 152, 560 views??? jeezzz, there should be at least 1 mil, dont let this music die. Check out kitty, daisy and lewis, a group from england, they are really good
Wow....I had no idea that (1) this song was originally written in 1966 and (2) that Tammi Terrell recorded it. Even as a teenager, Stevie was (is) a great lyricist.
tout ce que je fais c est penser à toi,la chanson ne peut pas être plus explicite...
Si tout ne nous séparait pas,je ferais ma vie avec toi,je continuerai de négliger les autres et n avoir toujours d'yeux que pour toi.Meme si je sais que ton bonheur n est pas auprès de moi,je resterai pour ces moments volés,le plaisir de t avoir près de moi et pour cette chance de voir cette si belle personne,ce si beau visage,ce si beau sourire.
je ne pensais pas pouvoir aimer si fort. j ai le dernier mot ;-)
@44joints Stevie WAS the original artist who sang it. In addition to his 'Hotter Than July' version, he recorded a Demo version produced by he and Clarence Paul. It's still locked up. Maybe the world will hear it one day.
@brotherfugue ... Are you sure? Because Stevies version didnt come out until the eighties. So you're saying he recorded it in the sixties?because this was sang in 1966 by Terrell
@44joints I am absolutely certain. He cut a reference demo-a template if you will. This was not uncommon.
Prime example: even though "I Miss You" by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, with Teddy Pendergrass on vocals came out before David Ruffin's version, Ruffin claimed (and I believe it) that he recorded it first with the understanding that it was for him, only to have the track delivered to Teddy. Notice the strong similarities in the delivery.
great post! this is rare! - Tammi Terrell also dated James Brown who used to physically abuse her, they broke up of course, but it seemed like only Marvin was her true male friend.
u go girl... tammi terrell a true legend that seems 2 have been forgotten & a beautiful/lovely singer. rite at the prime of her career we lost her. she was great when it came 2 teamin up w/marvin gaye. i always thought stevie wonder was the only one to do this but 2 find out that tammi was 1st is great (i like her version better). i have the fellin stevie wrote it cause it seems like somethin he would write.... thats how multi talented the man is.
@MotownMagic1959 I can just imagine how you feel, you was able to see these two career shoot off and go places. The thing that makes me sad is that since Tammy died young she didnt get to reach her full potiental and it was clear she was going to be a Legend like Marvin was able to achieve. But then again if she didnt die they both would have still probably did duets and been BIG. Or have panned out a different style of music from the Marvin we know now.
@liferasta1 No this song sadly was added to Motown's vaults never released and forgotten but as you say today they have released it on Cellarful Of Motown Vol 1 finally realizing just how good these old tracks are :-) JOHN
Im 19, and OMG..First off she was beautiful as hell i would have tried to talk to her if i live back then lol, and second she has a once in a life time voice! Man now I see why Marvin was tore up when she died because if i can feel so sad about it then i know he was messed up, then she was so young and pretty with much unfilled potiental..RIP This song is better than Stevie's version not in a bad way but respectively..
@Tj956 Marvin and Tammi were such a great singing duo all those years ago, it still upsets me today when I first heard that she had got a brain tumor, I'll never forget them. They were part of my youth as was Motown's music and it always brings me joy! JOHN

But then again if she didnt die they both would have still probably did duets and been BIG. Or have panned out a different style of music from the Marvin we know now.
@Tj956 That's very true, Marvin and Tammi plus Stevie had an enormous effect on me when I was young as did Motown in general because they sounded different than any other singers at the time, Motown is the only record company ever to have a sound named after them to which I've never forgotten! JOHN

There has been such a buzz over this recording since it was first put out on Cellarful of Motown that I truly believe that it wasn't a good idea to vault this track and not release it as a 45.
very well constructed collage, where the words "all I do is think about you", Marvin appears...and the video ends the poignant shot of David Ruffin........
Many people dont know that when Berry Gordy was considering a replacement for Diana Ross, he considered Tammi to take Diana's spot. Its clear with the way she sounds on here. she even has Ross's phrasing. her voice is soulful yet could easily cross to pop with the right song.she would hav added new magic to the Supremes. unfortunately Tammi was at the end of her road dying from a brain tumor in which she did.he decided on Jean Terrell. but Tammi had an edge on Jean.like Ross, unique voice. .
i love this song and mad that it was never released...what the hell motown was thinking..... I love tammi and Flo ballard...they were the best women of motown...where can i download this song
I feel like I just traveled back to 1966. This is classic Motown with everything that makes you feel young forever. She is the pretty girlfriend and love every boy wanted to have. The is a song about young love which is what Motown did best, Maybe, she wasnt treated the best by the men in her life but the love that is coming out in this song is given back to her a million times over. Tammi, I hope somehow, you know and feel this from all of us. Sweet baby!
Well, as far as Tammi Terrell is concerned, she tragically died at a very young age of a brain tumor. It broke Marvin Gaye's heart and changed his career forever.
Yes, even sadder was the fact that Marvin knew she had a brain tumor and she collapsed on stage performing with him, he retired from performing for about three years then he made the "What's Going On" album during the riots time!
That saying "The good die young." To me that doesn't just mean the well-behaved, upstanding citizens. The people that are extremely good at what they do and bring happiness to people are included. 'Cause not all that died lived the best lives, but they created so many great memories for others.
Motown was on top of the world! Berry introduced the world to today's greatest stars&& the world's late great stars (ex: Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell, Michael Jackson, ect...)<<R.I.P!
WHAAAAAT, I Did not know this was an old song, I thought this was a Stevie Wonder Original...WOW...Learn something new everyday....WOW!!! This original version is good, and Stevie's version is Excellent as well..
oh yeah of course... also became his tribute to her on hotter than july....
its such a shame that we lost one of motowns best singers in her prime, her version of this old heart of mine is so much more emotional than the isleys :)
plus didnt marvin say he'd never duet again? and then go straight to diana ross lol
this version is featured on a 2-CD set called "A Cellar Full of Motown" it contains unheard of tunes that were stocked away in the Motown vaults collecting dust-
I've been saying for years that they should release more compilations from the 1960's in Motown's vaults, for unexplained reasons they have abandoned another 3rd set of the CD's you mentioned!! UMG Universal Music Group are the copyright owners of Motown. Nice to hear your comments. JOHN
It makes me so sad that people don't know who the original singer of this song was. Even more that it is considered such a rare track because it's one of the greatest!

There has been such a buzz over this recording since it was first put out on Cellarful of Motown that I truly believe that it wasn't a good idea to vault this track and not release it as a 45.

Wow Tammi is so gergous...
I'm born very very after this soul generation but i feel just more close to this music than rap or anything else, but whatever....
I love Tammi Terrell voice and i think it's a pity that few people know her and all these greats singers (excuse my english i'm french)

I love this song. I like Stevie's version, but Tammi's version has the emotion and longing. I prefer this version, its innocent and beautiful.

I´m from México and I heard this song first time on 1999 played by Kirk Whalum and singed by Wendy Moten.
I have been surprised when I know this song was wrote by Steve Wonder

Kirk Whalum has a GREAT version of this song that I look for at all of his live shows.

very well constructed collage, where the words "all I do is think about you", Marvin appears...and the video ends the poignant shot of David Ruffin........

Many people dont know that when Berry Gordy was considering a replacement for Diana Ross, he considered Tammi to take Diana's spot. Its clear with the way she sounds on here. she even has Ross's phrasing. her voice is soulful yet could easily cross to pop with the right song.she would hav added new magic to the Supremes. unfortunately Tammi was at the end of her road dying from a brain tumor in which she did.he decided on Jean Terrell. but Tammi had an edge on Jean.like Ross, unique voice. .

I feel like I just traveled back to 1966. This is classic Motown with everything that makes you feel young forever. She is the pretty girlfriend and love every boy wanted to have. The is a song about young love which is what Motown did best, Maybe, she wasnt treated the best by the men in her life but the love that is coming out in this song is given back to her a million times over. Tammi, I hope somehow, you know and feel this from all of us. Sweet baby!

why do the talented people have so much problems and die so soon?
krista88able 2 years ago
Well, as far as Tammi Terrell is concerned, she tragically died at a very young age of a brain tumor. It broke Marvin Gaye's heart and changed his career forever.
JET997u 2 years ago 4
it's very sad. I think she could became a grate artist, just like Diana Ross. Tammi had all cards for play.
krista88able 2 years ago
Marvin e Tammi were just friends or more than friends?
krista88able 2 years ago
Yes. Marvin & Tammi were in a relationship through much of their duet-recording sessions.
JET997u 2 years ago
Oh, that's why they are so beautifull together
krista88able 2 years ago
Yes, even sadder was the fact that Marvin knew she had a brain tumor and she collapsed on stage performing with him, he retired from performing for about three years then he made the "What's Going On" album during the riots time!

That saying "The good die young." To me that doesn't just mean the well-behaved, upstanding citizens. The people that are extremely good at what they do and bring happiness to people are included. 'Cause not all that died lived the best lives, but they created so many great memories for others.

its such a shame that we lost one of motowns best singers in her prime, her version of this old heart of mine is so much more emotional than the isleys :)

this version is featured on a 2-CD set called "A Cellar Full of Motown" it contains unheard of tunes that were stocked away in the Motown vaults collecting dust-
christheone8773 2 years ago
I've been saying for years that they should release more compilations from the 1960's in Motown's vaults, for unexplained reasons they have abandoned another 3rd set of the CD's you mentioned!! UMG Universal Music Group are the copyright owners of Motown. Nice to hear your comments. JOHN
