NOT 1962, that was Two Lovers wriiten & produced by Smokey Robinson a Number 1 R&B Hit, No. 7 Pop Hit for Mary Wells on Motown. This was 1968 on Jubilee Records written & produced by Mary Wells & Cecil Womack!

Cecil Womack playin guitar Harry Womack bass

Produced & written by Mary Wells & Cecil Womack!

This record is SO baadass, nobody like Millie J!

My fave Millie Jackson record.

Thats terrible.She was mobbed up thats how she got placed on Motown.She doesn;t even sound like herself on this.She was beautiful & a good singer but jus got involved with gangsters from what I heard from several sources.

Its Nedra

@mrlopez2681 This was just done for television show Shindig that the Blossoms were regulars on.

@kurtsupreme Wanda Young Rogers is NOT deceased.Georgeanna Tillman Gordon died in 1980 from Lupus, Gladys Horton passed away this past year from complications of a stroke.Wanda has not been in good health but she is very much alive!

Dee Dee Sharp is one of the GREATEST Rock N Soul singers EVER!!

Everybody doin the Dog!

This was originally done by the Shirelles, then a pretty big hit for English band Manfred Mann

Shangrilas were BAAD, I saw them in person in '66 & were great LIVE...it was all 4 & got to interview them for Tiger Beat magazine.Cool chicks.

Next to Motown, Phil Spector had the BEST singers!LaLa could always sing.

This is NOT the original recording...prob a redo from early 80's.

I liked the flip "I'm Down" better.Cool mid 60's West Coast Soul.

Kings of Rythmn were cookin behind Robbie, Jessie & Venetta

Miss Robbie IS in the middle, Thats Jessie Smith on left (Ms.Robbie's right) & either VenettaFields or Joshie Armstead.Jessie & Joshie were at Ms. Robbies B'day party(71)on "Welcome To Sweetie Pies" on OWN Network.

Nobody could copy Motown this comes close but the bass & drums jus dont cut it.Nella Dodds could sing but she tryin so hard not to sound like Diana, LOL.Weldon McDougal that had somethin to do with Nella & this recording a few years later was an Executive at Motown in Promotion.

Powerful...great production, Martha rocks!

Nobody can sing FUNK like Vicki Anderson.One of the BEST singers ever.

Beleive what you want but MOTOWN did persuade radio NOT to play her records & did keep the big distributors from stocking her product & displaying it properly.Herman Griffin was not Mr. Gordys driver. You are getting her confused with Florence Ballard.

Does anyone have "Boogie Woogie Jones"By Curtis Womack on Playboy from about 76-77, produced by Bobby.?Then you will see this is Curtis on this track.The trio was Curtis Friendly & Harry.Cecil was with Mary Wells doin their thing in the early 70's.When Harry got killed the Valentino thing stopped.

Wrong, Marva Whitney is a powerful singer but JB had her "screechin" on purpose. She did not become JB's girlfriend until AFTER she had joined the Revue & then she left to get away from him.All of us that saw Marva back in the late 60's early 70's KNOW she can sing & could work a crowd.

Badass track when HDH came back to Motown.Supremes were really on the ONE on this, all 3.

Susaye CAN SING!!

This was produced by Jeff Barry, Phil was po'd about River Deep and didn't wanna work...I was surprised he even released this

Mary was NEVER jealous of or p.o.'d at Diana Ross!I knew Mary since '62 & she never said nothin bad about Diana, she liked the Supremes as a group. She requested them as backup on some of her Motown recordings to help them.

The song WAS written for Mary but that is Jackie Ross & this was abig hit.

A great record written & produced by Mary Wells & Cecil Womack. Where it got airplay it was a hit. Sold 15,000 copies in Detroit without any airplay.

Dee Dee Sharp is one of the greatest vocalists in Rock & Soul history!

Who in their right mind could blame Cindy?Other then these 3 ofcourse.I mean, they were not selling any records.Even if Cindy was only gettin a weekly check from Motown it was more in a month then she ever made as a Blue Bell!Got a lot better meals & stayed in better hotels too.

The Andantes were not used on any of the early recordings. Thats a myth that has been perpetuated by the johnny come lately crowd. They might have done some songs for the groups to learn the songs cause the groups were constantly on the road WHERE THEY HAD TO SING LIVE...no faking then.I saw all ...

Great song written by Bobby Womack.

BAADASS Miami Sound, great guitar by Little Beaver. Ella was a great singer. Saw her in person twice in the 60's and she tore it up! This record was first on a small Mimai label before Atlantic picked it up .

Remember, do the Twist & you'll never grow old....so true!

Bunker Hill this artist was actually a popular Gospel singer

Thats badass 1962-1963 were the best dance records

The original is the best also check out "The Bird" by the Du-Tones...it was also in Hairspray but was only a regional hit in Baltimore /DC & Philly

I have to laugh when Smokey says "I feel I owe you somethin'"LOL yea, a whole lotta money from Motown would have been nice!
