  • NICE.......

    

  • My childhood growing up listening to her...sang along with every song as loud as my little voice can sing. I cried so hard when she died. A very sad and tragic way to die if you ask me especially for someone who deserved so much better for all the joy she brought us with her unique and beautiful songs. I love you Mary Wells! You will forever be missed and will stay dear to my heart.

  • Me & my honey who is in heaven now riding our 72 chevy pick up truck

  • r.i.p. merry wells. 1 of the best female singers of alltimes.

  • Thanks for this. Fort Worth Richland High 1966 This song always got to me with the stereo sound between the drums and backup. Danced million miles at the tean canteen. Thanks again.

  • i love this sonq

  • This is a truly excellent posting. I was a teen in Detroit in the early 60s and this was as good as any song that came out of that time and place. Great song, great singer, and great background

  • Mary was definitely one of Motowns best. Great song. Everything she did had such great beats. Love to dance to this one.

  • This song came out in the early-mid 60s--that decade had the changes of three decades!! with cars and music especially--IMO, nothing has change dramatically since the late 80s, especially styles in cars and music; except: technology, women who don't know how to be ladies, and it makes them soooo desperate for male attention that theyre paying for dates, and FOUL LANGUAGE in modern music (real ladies of any age wouldn't put up with it)

  • @49jubilee VERY WELL SAID

  • I noticed alot of Carribean-Latin American rhythyms in the early 1960s Motown. I love this song. No one sounds like Mary Wells.

  • the cholitas all fucked up you little skanks what happened to the character bring back class in my fuckin calles u fuckin skonkas were the real mexican hynas fuck

  • So overlooked but not forgotten by those in the know. Great backup singing. Greatest of tunes.

  • I think i remember my dad playing this

  • fuck you puto come me in woodland lil bosque

  • @aubby29 que what bosque wake up smell the rises hahaha!

  • "What singing!"

  • Real soul...simple, straighforward, love song from back in the day.

  • rip mary wells.. good musik

  • The way she sings this is just fabulous. The backing music is awesome. The background vocal work is outrageously entertaining - so happening. Mary W. is singing off of them is such a masterful way. That thing she does right at the end when she closes out is one of the "trademarks" of her style.

  • MY FAVORITE, AS WELL!

  • Love it!

  • man my mom was a chola.....i had no choice but to grow up to this music....it's good stuff to listen to

  • THIS GIRL WAS SUCH A TALENTED SINGER WHO KNEW MARVIN GAYE BROUGHT HER IN TO MEET BERRY GORDY

  • chulas song and my mommas.....

  • @PERSISTANCE1231 fuck you

  • nice voice

  • Probably the best interpretter of Smokey's work. Love the latin influence on this one.

  • who doing backup

  • If you got Mary and Motown and Smokey on the same song it's probably gonna be great . This is so cha cha cha moving wonderful.

  • A song of Mary I will never forget.

    Thanks

  • great lessons from a Master.

  • I have listen to this song a hundred times and it never gets stale. This "best of" is an essential record.

  • its a great tune to do the cha-cha-cha by!!

  • @christheone8773 Yeah great to dance to and it has the cool lyrics of Smokey and is a haunting song.

  • My fav Wells song by far, I listen to this song so often it feels like it just came out last month, and i never get tired of hearing it...and if I do there are plenty of other great songs by her to choose from!

  • PLEASE--someone post my fav song by her---ot is even on this album---What Two Can Easily Do--thx!!

    Andrew

  • my brother's favorite song

  • Thanks Mary.

  • Greatest female singer ever. Voice is a bit thin at times but she's got this something extra special in her voice and style and demeaner, plus Smokey wrote great songs for her.

  • Mary's voice always gave me a warm glow inside....even when I was a kid a million years ago.

  • this is probably my first favorite oldie of all time..... this one goes as far back as my 30 year old ass can remember.

  • The great mary wells! This is also my fav song of hers.

  • love this song

  • Never lend out your 8 tracks.

  • Thanks for the laugh......

  • Smokey is a genius, and Mary is a legend.

  • Mary Wells is a legend. I love this women her music runs deep in my soul. She is part of an era that will never be forgotten......

  • Smokey Robinson said in a Motown anniversary special that he grew up with Calypso music and when he wrote songs like this one for Mary it had that kind of style.

  • This is my favorite Mary Wells song

  • This is my favorite by Mary .. that greatest hits is one of the greatest records ever. (So is the Impressions Greatest hits...songs that were not hits are better - like Minstrel and Queen and Sad Boy and Girl, etc. ) Too bad Gordy found Diana Ross prettier or sexier. I'll take Mary's soul and vulnerability any day.

  • i think this is my favorite Mary tune

  • Mine too .. u are a wise woman.

  • @Wisewoman77 I Met her at bobby womacks wedding reception in 1976..My cousin was a background singer for womack at the time..I was a young Marine happening to be visiting her from Yuma,Az..Mary was very down to earth and gracious..May her soul rest in peace and be with the lord.

  • @colorfuldude  I would loved to have met her. Glad to know you found her as down to earth and gracious as she seemed.

  • Classic personified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • i love this song =]

  • i still have this album

  • My fav! : )

  • classic. girls in their twenty's just don't have their own voice anymore.they all sound alike.except for a few

  • oh please

  • The Funk Brothers did some of her backup

  • love this song

  • who did the back ups for Mary Wells??

  • On "You Lost the Sweetest Boy," it was the Supremes!

  • also they did the back ups on Bad Boy and I'm Gonna Stay do u know who the male vocals were done by

  • I'm sorry, I don't know.

  • It's The Love Tones. (:

    Not to be confused with the Australian indie band The Lovetones.
