and it should be mentioned the 4 women you see on this stage- Bertha, Norma, Milly and Cal- are ALL original group members, and were all on the original record.
OMG! I love this performance, saw it telecast, and just went berserk! And the Ladies look incredible, and still sound incredible! I was 5 when this song came out, but my family has always been big on, jeez, it was Motown. Sorry, I'm no spring chicken. I'll be 52 next month. Now have "CRS"- can't remember s***. But this, I remember. Thanks so much for posting.
@recordguy4321 I also saw Joe Hunter on the piano but it would have been better if they had Bob Babbitt , Uriel Jones , Ray Monette , and Eddie Willis on stage .
At the taping, Cal was explaining to the piano player how to play the song. Pianist Joe Hunter said....you don't need to tell me, Cal, I played on the original recording!
OMG! I had never heard of this group, although I was a 59 baby. I had the pleasure of seeing this show on KODC- Los Angeles. I timed the show, and they were 45 minutes in. The show was scheduled to air again @ 3:00 am. I actually set my alarm clock to see & hear them again. They look great, and they sound great. Viva la Velvetletts. And I am so totally hooked on this song. It has a messege; Gay, Straight, or confused- is like finding a needle in a haystack. LOL.
They sure are a nice looking group of ladies! They sound great too. I love their songs. I had never heard most of them until their greatest hits was released. THey had some good songs.
Oooo, I just love this song! Haven't heard this in so many years. Good to see them perform once again; they're as good today, as they were in '64! Terrific! 5+ stars.
why so few hits ..its fantastic .....and no northern in front of it

Millie, Norma, and Bertha are still wonderful. And Cal is really super on the lead.
They sound just as good as they did in 1964. What
.a courage to get up at about 60 years old and perform live on stage. Thanks to a wonderful reunion.

This is (or maybe, was) a version of this really excellent song by Dusty Springfield on YouTube also. But this one is fab regardless of any others.
