Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand - Diana Ross

[GlennDiamant]

A lot better message to the world than "Take the Money and Run."

[7thvenom]

RIP NICK ASHFORD !!

[SussQuatch]

Nick is certainly asleep and at Peace. Think of Valerie and their children. Having recorded and toured for Ashford & Simpson on the drums ("Send It", "Is It Still Good To You," and Diana Ross's "The Boss," our loss certainly doesn't approach that of the immediate family. Lift them up. Please.

Respectfully,

John Sussewell

a.k.a. Sussquatch

a.k.a Suss!

Can beautiful really describe it enough? =)

[0917gva]

What a talent! I love this song and I love the message this song puts out there. If only everyone would! This is a meaningful song. Thank you for this post.

[crazyloverhaha1]

If I tell you that if you had supernatural faith we could go back to the Garden of Eden and see a restored earth - would you believe me or mock me? If I told you we are already in the Garden of Eden we just can't see it since we have not gone through the gates and walked up the stairs..What if I told you that this Garden of Eden only had one rule- DO NOT MOCK GOD'S DREAM- that's it- kind of like DONT EAT THAT APPLE BITCH..well- I am telling you exactly that-DO NOT MOCK GOD'S DREAM-

[Lliberty7]

[DrKlassick17]

[Rami4455]

[meyourit]

It's freakin Goatse

[willy284]

[DrKlassick17]

@kbouldin1 oh okay. LOL!!! I was finna say man. DAMN!! I bet that wulda been scary tho foreal.

[MrMarks4]

@DrKlassick17 It looks fake, but guess I am sceptical and should be open to the possibilities x

[adorioss]

Great song and slide show.. It really makes me to think again how important is to reach out and touch somebody's hand ....

[SuperSPOKENWORD]

WOW

[irvinbean]

This world would be a much better place if everyone did as this song implies. This song in my opinion has always been a very strong song and can be applied to life in general and one can surely gain positively from it as well." Would I be talking to a stone if I asked you to share a problem that's not your own".....try a little kidness you willl see it somethig that goes very naturally". irvinbean

[FaerieCrone]

@irvinbean Well maybe if people would put down those stupid cell phones and stop texting each other, and take the time to have a face to face conversation for a change, it might be possible, but they probably won't. Not only are they not talking to each other but they couldn't hear anyway because they have those earphones blocking their ears with all the negative music. The world is going down the crapper.

[comanchegirl1]

It would be great if we all would just try.......

[Umitencho]

Whenever I feel depressed, I listen ti this song and it makes me happy. Todays songs don't have such power.

[blondiebabs]

very  wonderful xx100****

babs

[michaelthegreat1198]

Brilliant Ms Ross you're never too old do michael's kids proud and live the rest of your life hapily

[MishhArisa]

Suchh a nice song..Now I'm crying cause this song was in the movie "My friend Martin" ;) or "My Good Friend Martin?"

[psyco411]

I have made a video that has to do with something like this. It really digs deep and gets to your heart. So check it out!

[oksons]

OH Yea...... reach out!!!

[njezan1]

This song has a hymn-like quality. When I am listenning to it, I am unable to do anything, it's so compelling and haunting and extremely touching.

By the way, this song is Diana's first solo single, after leaving the Supremes.

Miss Ross was at her best, when singing the songs by Ashford&Simpson.

[ldonhawk]

A song with tremendous emotional and salvific power. I love it, and it is inspiring. May we reach out and touch somebody's hand, and make this world a better place.

[miss09lauren]

i heard this on the jacksons: an american dream it's truly a beautiful song

[cutiepiekozy]

me too

[missingremote]

try listening to some Caly Simon - she's got soul 2

[wegersfour]

I remember hearing this song sang

at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in

1984. That was sung so great. I think

the singer's name was Vicki Mcclure.

Nothing like a great Olympic Game in

our own country. To bad, Chicago could

not have the Olympics Games in 2014.

[ultrakyogre45]

i love thissong.specially when michael sung this with her.r.i.p. michael

[laberube]

c'est la plus belle

[Weeziifbaby]

this song, we are the world, and heal the world are some of the most emotionally moving songs i have ever listened to. the artists' message is so simple and yet so powerful at the same time.

[Raised1By1Wolves]

when i heard this song it was in 2nd grade but this wasnt the version

[jasmayne85]

we sang this in church in the country doing alter call :D

[jlboy112]

i heard this song on the movie the jacksons: an american dream

when michael jackson was a little kid like about 12 years old he sang a duet with diana ross of this song on stage .

[Roosdi]

yeah there i heard this song 2!

[iloveeeeeeeemj1222]

this song is so cute :)

[HokeyKokeyy]

my mums favourite song (L+) (r.i.p mum)

[edlamon12]

A always & forever touching song

[irvinbean123]

This song became one of my favorite songs when I was in jr. high school and we were on our way to Washington on a field trip, and this song came on somebody's radio that was on the bus amd we all got into the song and did just as it implied, and ever since then I have really loved this song and I love the video as well. irvinbean123

[arshli]

yeah this is a true song it can change a lot for real by.arshli adelson

[Shalisha09]

We can change things if we start giving. Just reach out and touch somebodys hand, make this world a better place...if you can

[TABULOUS1]

*inhale*

*exhale*

This song will ALWAYS be breathtaking

(4those with any compassion)

Even "We Are The World" didn't come remotely close in its heyday.

[traed10]

hey ya that is the best song ever man im with you on that

O.o

[jonaslover5986]

Aww all tthe coriagriphie is great and all the babbys hands r so ct

[MoonlightAngel1221]

reach out and touch somebody`s hand

[ummahkayah23]

reach out and touch somebody hand is my song just try

[coopstar834]

This is my shit.

[kvilla300]

if only all of us would really listen to this song and put into action the kindness and the simple jester to reach out and touch someone, what a difference it would make for that person for perhaps a small while, if not a life time change, just one act of kindness what a difference it can be to some.

[undercoverandmasked]

one problem, if some stranger touched my hand i would call the police for sexual harassment O_O nice song but only works for friends and bfs and we do this to ppl everyday but not strangers CRAZY o_o and i like this song too

[dogkelp]

[jennygroningen]

[JustifiableExposure]

Diana truly touches my heart on this number! Wow!

[fancyfreeistheway2b]

i remember seeing Diana Ross At Giant Stadium back in the 80,s ! i will never ever forget the feeling i had that day when she sang this song and everyone in the Audience just grabbed the hand next to them..Talk about goose bumps! still get em when i think of that Magical moment where we were all ONE!

[Todaboog]

thank you!!!

[swt32567]

I dedicate this song to my cousin Aurelia L. Dean who used to sing this osng with her heart & soul when she was 5yrs. old. Well Ree-Ree now you're 41yrs "young" & you are still reaching out & touching all of us. Love to you

4-Ever.

[SirPriceDK]

I think I heard it in the end of The 1984 Olympics (the one with the rocket man and 100 pianos). But I'm not sure who sung it.

[daddiesbaby28]

at the end of church everybody sings this song and the we go home

[tspra1]

we do to!!!

[fashantii]

i heard that song play in a store called Kroger

it was really wierd because it sounded familiar but i forgot where it came from

[AvlDao]

One of Valerie Simpson and Nick Ashford's greatest songwriting compositions. They produced Diana's version as well. Their most noted for writing & producing Aint No Mountain High Enough

[vegasbaby92]

Excuse my ignorance, but Diana Ross, doesn't sing "Reach out...Touch" originally?

[AvlDao]

Good question. Hats off to anyone who can figure out what really went down inside Motown 30+ years ago. There's no way that Nick & Val wrote the song without singing it aloud along the way of creating it, and I bet they even cut a demo of it too. In my book, the songwriter is always the 'first singer'. But who knows how many Motown artists took a crack at any song...and would singing it in the shower count? Haha.

Well we know Diana's is the most successful version on radio and in sales.

[luvpurebs]

Beautiful Jolanda... thanks for sharing! :)

[stella123dog]

this world could be a better place if everyone could get on with each other and help one another out.

[vallot67]

we CAN really make this world a better place if we actually try... this is a good, no a GREAT song to motivate anyone if they've fallen!

[berrymystique]

My Sweet Howard- Did you find this song? You are so smart. I worship you. I wish I could kiss you.

[boyedeseun]

diana ross is sooooo disgusting. knowing what she did to florence...

[best1forward]

And exactly what did she do to Florence that those around her did not take some part in...Diana was not alone at that meeting that ousted Florence.....Go read some more and I think you will find there were many contributors to Florence's downfall.....mostly coming from Florence and her own persona. This is a great track and has come to be very meaningful to a lot of people over the years. Have a good day.

[dianarossfan]

i gather you watched dreamgirls and thought you knew the real story. grow up!

[seanlik]

A record that the whole world should take notice of the words, in these dark days of war

[tropicalpancake56]

Love this original recording...Motown sure came a long way, by this time and it was still in Detroit...thanks for the memories of younger days...

[barnesfam]

Beautiful song.....

[spotme19]

Sometimes the simpliest things DO make a difference, Excellent, meaningful song by Diana Ross, complimented by an equally excellent video - well done to ALL concerned.
