The Marvelettes - Strange I Know

Great tune from the girls. Did not chart too well on the pop charts. It did good on the R&B charts though I think it was in the top ten. However, this is a great song with a great lead. The music is outstanding. Listen to the drummer and bass.

Me 2. When I was a kid (about 5 years old) I used to stand in front of the Hi-fi and watch this record play over and over and over and over......

it's awesome how when you hear a song, such as this, jump on your mind and you know it;s somewhere from your childhood memory and then you pull of the song on you tube and hear it again and your minds picture goes right to the place and time and everything comes back to you, even the smell . Don't you just love it. Smiling my ass off 'cause I love reminiscing its the feel good drug that's all natural. 1960 baby, in the house diggin on the sounds of Motown

This record was released on Oct. 29, 1962, while the Marvelettes were on the first Motortown Revue which started Oct. 26, 1962. I remember seeing all the artist and others out in front of Hitsville that morning while my dad drove me and my sister to school (about 6: 10 AM). It was real cold that morning (about -11 degrees with the wind). Otherwise, we would have had to "foot it" to school that morning.

I love this song so much! When they harmonize "Strange I know" it sends chills.

"Strange I know" was the very first Record I purchased on my own at age 13. I've loved the Marvelettes ever since and they are my favorite Motown Girl group of all time. "Too Many Fish In the Sea", 'Play Boy" , "My Daddy Knows Best" are just some of the songs that show strong lyrics of wisdom by the them. Gladys Horton and Wanda Rogers gave the group a unique sound from the start in spite of several personel changes in the group in their later years.

Glad I was a part of this Motown era!!

@ThePrayerful Well bless your heart, ThePrayerful. You are a product of the 60s and people like you can fully appreciate the Motown Sound (which we in Detroit lived through). Those born in the 50s and 60s had the chance to "feel" the effects of the Motown Sound in the 1970s. Consider yourself fortunate too.

R,I.P. Gladys Horton.

@xunclexx How I would love to have those memories. You are so fortunate. I'm from Jersey but Motown is very close to my heart.
