Having been a performer, I try to respect all talent (and understand the challenges of performing), BUT this is a pale rehash of The Supremes arrangement from the 60's. It only makes you long for the original (available on YouTube), and it makes you realize why the Supremes (all 3 of the original...

Diana was at her peak vocally, and I agree the arrangements are stellar. Gil Askey - an unsung maestro. Wonder who wrote the alternate lyrics? (I am gentle...barbarian, pins & pleats & rouge...mostly sham but I love the subterfuge) unusual lyrics for a black pop group, but The Supremes were neve...

What album is this from?? I have been a 5th Dimension fan since before it was cool, (back in the day, they were considered a bit of a 'white-washed' black group & predominantly whites liked them), anyway I have most of their early albums & dont remember this on any of them.

Thanx for the post, l...

Great post lilmissy691. I first heard this song much later, when I found their first album in a cut-out bin (70's), loved it ever since (loved The Supremes even before then). Wondering where you found the 45 w/the image (1:56)? I have one too, with a different photo. It's on paper (which is uniqu...

Having done a few videos & extra work on films, I know that these things are deliberately cast (there are few accidents on film sets), so I would hope the lack of color is a directors choice. There is one brother, but he is peripheral & pale.. the lyrics speak to this issue as well..."Gonna be my...

I love Seal (when he does hisoriginal material),and the strings & arrangements are first rate, but I'm just not feeling these covers. Find the original by Marvin. It's far superior, because he wrote it &felt it, Seal is just singing it (nothing new, nothing original, except maybe a few adlibs 3:2...

Bring back the vocalists who would do covers & MAKE THEM THEIR OWN (like Luther[house is not a home] or Aretha [Respect, Thats The way i feel about cha] or so many artists of the 60's)! it's not enough to just sing it, anyone in a Kareoke bar can do that! Bring something NEW to the table, make it...

A masterpiece in all of 2:55 minutes! That's skill (songwriting) & talent.

@Fred101463 They both sang back up w/Bette. maybe that's why...but Ula is the better vocalist. She's done a lot of backgroud work (jingles, etc.). I actually met her once in the village, coming out of Bolmor Lanes. she was cool, and gracious.

@edwardjames50 Good idea (when they finally put me down...) I'm adding this to my list.

The chant at the end ("Do it like that, do it like that my baby") reminds me of "Mama sey mama sa, mama kosa" (which Michael stole, err borrowed from "Soul Makosa" (Manu DiBango).

Sharon & Ula work the end like a darker, or lighter Celia.
