  • awesome tune.

  • I'll always love this priceless Tamla Motown cut. Check out 'Truly Yours' which is another Spinners' gem from the mid 1960s. Bobby Smith and the Spinners really deserved more first division material when they were recording in Detroit.

  • I LOVE MOTOWN!

  • wot a tune , amazing lyrics , proper

  • being there was great , for those that were not it doesnt mean you cant love it .... if you werent there , pfft , stuck up little shits . ktf minotauroazul

  • @TelandRed Ha Ha try a wheel chair, hear you can really shake a leg in one !!

  • Bobby is one of the great stage performers too, very under-appreciated!

  • KTF lovin it thanx

  • Bring back the good old days of proper dance floors, records and proper Friday nights out.

  • AMEN- TheGarybone, Those days were the times that will never be relived, even though they say history repeats itself, NOT THIS THESE TIMES!!!

  • when i think back to these times....cant help thinkin wot a fkd up world we have now....take me back to the place i loved....

  • i will always love this KTF x

  • Excellent ! KTF

  • I like this song very much, even though I never knew there was a kind of soul called Northern Soul, this is the Motown R&B sound of the early years, the best years in my opinion. Thank you.-

  • @minotauroazul Northern Soul is a phenomenon that cannot be described unless you have lived the dream! If you have been there then you will fully understand this text. If not then I'm sorry to have wasted 10 seconds of your life!!

  • @mixastompin I live in Argentina, I´ve been in England in late 90s, not in the Northern Soul time. It´s a dream, as you say, that I cannot share with you and others. anyway I don´t think I´ve wasted seconds of my life listening to this music, maybe I cannot have the Northern soul dream as I never had and I will never have that experience but I can appreciate good music and enjoy it. I´m always curious about music styles that I enjoy, even tiose that were fashionable before I was born. Thank you

  • Saw these guys live in the 70s in Baltimore....bad, bad....whole orchestra, led by the capable Mr. King....and Soul Wynn going out of his mind.....as for this song, I heard in a blue way because I was headed to Nam and the girl I'd been dating wrote me a dearJohn letter, with red baloons cand cotten candy in the close....Xinh Loi...my love to her anyway., Peace

  • Crackin track mate,,cheers......

  • Amazing track by far, dancing too.

  • Big Bobby Smith on lead vocals!

    The most underrated Soul singer of

    this era, complained little, sang a bunch!

    Bobby Sr, if you read this, I simply say

    your the greatest.

  • @joshiejjones07 ....and Bobby Sr, you've got my vote, too!

    Hey Soultime, nice channel! Thanks, Jan

  • @jmohan23

    You agree too!!?!?!

    Big Bobby was always that SPECIAL voice that few outside

    of the music biz ever heard of, very talented and precise

    studio session lead singer and great showman.

    I've watched him for 4 decades now, he and Henry Fambrough

    are Soul Music treasures.

    Bobby Jr tours with the band and is a bad-ass musician himself!

    Pleasure.

  • @joshiejjones07 have you ever met Bobby? What is he like? He seem so classy and well put together.

  • Loved it then...lovin' it now!

  • discoverd by BRIAN RAE during his days at the twisted wheel...

    but for BRIAN,s PERSEVERANCE WITH THIS GEM IT COULD WELL HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE MOTOWN GEMS NEVER TO BE HEARD ,

    BECAUSE UK MOTOWN HAD TO WITHDRAW THIS TRACK BECAUSE OF COPYRIGHT ON THE NAME

    "THE SPINNERS"

    there was a uk band using that name....

    for years BRIAN was the only dj who had this track ,it was he who made it into the "northern classic" record it is today

  • @the6tssoulman I also loved to listen to this at the "wheel" and I still have a copy of this track by The Spinners,and yes it was then deleted for that reason.all the susequent copies were renamed The Detroit Spinners

    I also have a copy of "Its a shame" by the Motown Spinners !!! all very confusing.why do they keep changing their name ?

  • Comment removed

  • love it

  • I soooo remember jamming this as a teen in L.A....thank you:-)
