[sister1165]

Greystone, 20 Grand, AND the Arcadia for skating....simple pleasures....great memories...

[ial313]

The Grove in Castle Shannon played this great tune. Love it.

[femmesusan1]

White kids were deaf then. Beatles my ass. She made me cry back then b/c she's sung so beautiful about sad love. What happened to the real music, the beautiful stuff? Glad I was born then. Rap sucks.

[GREG52231]

Great songs to west coast cha cha to , I loved to just flow with that real music man it was our time the 60`s right on and ride on with your bad self .... peace.

[The3grandsons]

The Graystone and 20 Grand Ballrooms--Det Mi, the places u could c everyone for Free or Little of Nothing. Nothing like the D back in the Day---Real Music ask anyone.

Samijtwinn...I don't know you...but...you know what you're talking about...BIG THUMBS UP!...

@ samjtwinn: you may or may not want to accept this fact, but there are MANY black singers that had superstar quality such as"baby washington", but you may not have heard of them. "we" (black folks in that era) have always been aware of them. it's like mick jagger said, "there was no british invasion in the 60's . this type of music was always here". white brits appreciated what was ignored on this continent and not played on white stations because it was considered and called "race music.

[oldbiddie]

@standingbeark You are so right. There were Black kids singing on playgrounds that could sing their butts off back then. There was no American Idol.. our kids still aren't represented on that show either. They found Bill Withers singing in a bus station bathroom he was cleaning.I think the Brits did get "us".

[queenbee6760]

I know that's right! I just do not like American Idol. It is so fake and coached.. A REAL singer can JUST DO IT, and needs little to no practice. Look at Evelyn King, discovered while cleaning the recording studio , and as you said, Bill Withers and a host of others who can sing their butts off and had no one voting them off.

[THIRTISH]

1st time i heard dis wuz a new temps cover liked it ever since

[musicteachjw]

Going to the Baby Washington concert in DC next sunday. Hope it's good.

[RootsDaughter41926]

I've posted the lover-rocks cover of this tune by Sister Aisha... although I was only familiar with Randy Crawford's version... but this original by Ms Washington is the best most definitely...

[chechoseme]

BABY WASHINGTON DC. OLD SCHOOL WE LOVE YOU.

[fntime]

This song is from the Spring of 1963, NOT, 1964.

But whatever year, it's a wonderfulyl touching song.

[mathislover]

Loved this. Memories, memories

[tmurray615]

As a college DJ in Midland, MI. in the late 60"s, I would catch the late-night listeners off -guard with a few 45's of my own that were not part of the format. None lit up the phones lines with positive response like Baby Washington.

[dpohunter]

"Heartaches" made it to #40 on the Pop charts after it was released in March 1963. Back in the '80's I bought a reissue 45 RPM of it purely out of curiosity, having no idea what it sounded like.  Blew me away! Baby/Justine/Jeanette Washington instantly became my new all-time favorite '60's Soulstress.

[toicannon]

I love this song, I played for my girlfriend she never heard this song, Now she love it too!!!

[jmohan23]

I hear this and right away, I'm at a high school dance. Life was so great back then...

[liliana11967]

I love this Song!!!!!!!!!!!

[boomcc1]

@liliana11967 for te love of god i never heard this

[fasx56]

A talented singer with a lot of soul in her voice a prime example of one of dozens of individuals and groups that came out of the 50s and 60s that filled this country with music you could listen and dance to.

[Lorenzo1950]

This has to be a Burt Bachrach / Hal David song.

[07snooky]

My friend Eugene Calhoun played me this one on his 45rmp. I never forgot it eventhough I couldn't buy it myself, I was too young. But she had a fantastic voice.

[CheckMate657879]

Wow - I was in the 8th grade when this song was out - remember it well - was one of my favorites - brings back so-oooo many memories - especially of how "things" were back then - life back then - best of times and certainly the worst. But, for me, BEST wins out each time. Life was simple back then, and for the most part - people seemed to be very happy - especially teenagers. We had our music. We had our dances. We had our friends and family - real family - dinner together. Great times.

[truth2masses]

i was in kindergarten.

[jockonj]

What happened and where are we headed?

[MrChrisjeffries]

Miss Washington. Dusty Springfield was your greatest admirer, thank you

[winchestersq]

Excellent. I am thankful that we have an AM oldies station in western Massachusetts WARE 1250 playing more than just the hits that made the Top 40. That's where I heard "That's How Heartaches Are Made" for the first time in over 40 years.

[geals1]

Wow, Justine "Baby" Washington! I haven't heard her sweet voice in decades. Brings back a lot of memories.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

Her voice has a presence of it's own.I bet it was intimidating to share the stage with her.

[1408alan]

I have just discovered this. "It will never be over for me" is a sublime gem, and I am hooked! I can't stop playing it, the delivery and arrangement are just flawless. From an era when music was deep and memorable, unlike today's disposable pap, Thanks so much for posting.

[robertclemon]

Singing from the heart, that's how memories are made.....thanks for the post

[uboob67]

Songs like this sure make you want to search out more like THEM... not this NEW CRAP-- Since the 1980's... I am 49! ...What happened anyway?

Peter

[samjtwinn]

How come with such a voice, she didn't go on to be more well known I'll never know?

[josepherandolph]

This Lady can really get it together. I love her singing and I love the way she looks. Her real name is Jeanette not Justine. But other than that all the music is beautiful. I love her sound what a pretty voice and smooth grooves. I just love this old smooth music. Man I'll tell you those were the days for good soul music.

[bubblejomay]

Wrong it really is Justine

[LosAlvet]

Her name is Jeanette not Justine.

[ALFAGOMMA]

Recorded under both names.

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

Your right ; )

[prettycountrygirl2]

Such a beautiful song.

[misspenelope40]

JUSTINE i ADORE YOU. I ;ove the sound and timbre of your voice and have since I was 15 years old. Keep on doing what you do! By the way I am68 years old.
