Those musicians, what they do in their fantastic interlude, the groovy tempo she's in, that sexy soul voice- They all did song-Patti LaBelle, Baby Wash. Dusty, etc They all did so well in their own rights. For my money, give me the captive of the Magician, Miss Wanda Young Rogers. She's in...

@xunclexx That's a great one Xunclexx. I never knew that or read of it in any of the Motown literary biographies. Thank you

@ioxxd90 Another great Wanda tune was on the pink album (?) "I Can't Turn Around." Pure pure soul right out of the Blues.The song grew on me which I'm learning about great songs. You don't always hear it first, but its genius gradually brings you in. Written by the great Frank Wilson, now Smokey'...

@poppopken Check Tom Jones songs on song lyrics.com.-under the tag "The Night Was Made For Love". I think this should help. If not, holla and I'll research it for you.

@MotownMaster Thanks Master. Always a rotten one in the bunch. No appreciation for the journey of others. Thanks Master for the history notes and thank you for all you've done and will continue to do. I appreciate you for you.

@dvlaries So true. I agree. They were truly eclipsed by the Gordy/MOTOWN experiment. Had the young company the money and experience, a whole lot of super super things could have and would have occurred- a great topic for conversation. Wild One behind You've Been In Love Too Long are my Martha fa...

Go Martha!!! Sounds like she dad theses tracks last night. Vocally, the natural beauty of her voice to me is more alive and soulfully pretty than any of the Motown Queens. She pulls you in and wears you out. Levi Stubbs does it from Motown's male stable.

@allyisful So so so true and poignantly stated.

@wayne5552 Thx UK08. I fully agree with you I'm a little sensitive to the choice of words.If you were in a particular bar expressing your taste with better than and more respected, the Ross fans might shorten your days.U know Ross had 10x as many fans even with the so-called lesser voice U mean ...

Oh thank you Jesus. I love you so much. Thank you for your voice. You gave me grace to come. I came and found in you a resting place and you have made me glad.I love you Jesus. I love you

LoveForSure I owe you my life! The genius of EdwinHawkins. Gospel was not making love to Jesus until the arrival of AndreCrouch and EdwinHawkins.This is an EdwinHawkins classic.40 years ago we played the black off this 33LP"If you open your heart,He'll come in.Confess your sins, He will take you ...

@oldschoolmama1959 Ditto DittoThe power they brought on stage brought tears to your eyes even before they opened their mouths.Romeo and Juliet of song.Smokey recently said Marvin his #1 favorite artist at Motown. That's what Boss #2 said.What can we say about Miss Tammi Montgomery?Oh how voided t...

@Bushbaby387 So true. Great point. This was also Smokey;s contribution to the psychedelic tsunami that came with the British invasion - i.e. Beatles' Sgt Peppers etc. This composition was absolutely brilliant. Miss Rogers at the top of her game. Kathy and Gladys vocals are right on Wanda's bac...

@diegorzynski That's the power of music My oldest brother came home and said Lil Brother, I want you to hear this ladies voice and tell me what you think? This voice sang "In ev e ry beat of my heart. There's a beat for you". A rich rich penetrating contralto. That was 1960 or 61 and I've been fo...

@owzyafava DITTO DITTO DITTO. Perfection through a group of perfect musicians.

@toicannon All due respect and taking nothing from the great Tammi Montgomery Terrell. Now what I also want to say is that Valerie Simpson is singing us to bliss. To me Marvin here is at the top of hisof a tsunami game. He's riding on the waves of a tsunami. His perfect pitch and volume intensity...

@tomovox Ditto. A great comment.

@BlindFocus1 Yes. Mr Vandross himself. Those were some fabulous times. Keep doin what you're doin and enjoy. Nice chattin with you.lol. Wayne

@temperbrat I wholeheartedly agree, I'm 58. What these guys did was superb. The BEST soundtrack collaboration ever!!!!!

@Vincent50 I was at the Apollo when Flo stood in for Wanda. They turned down the mikes because Flo has this rich and very strong soprano voice. I'm sure they had to turn it down at Motown too. Mary often commented positively about Flo's beautiful tone. Then the Marvelettes had very intricate, de...

@gua117 You have good ear Gua. Comparing other takes at different places, I liked this one then heard the difference. At the third sentence "...blooming...", is different from the original recording. Like u said, it's either live or re-recorded. I think the latter. It's David at his peak to me. V...
