Thanks for the great reaction. Loving your Motown on Monday. This was the first #1 record for the Supremes, a great song written by Holland-Dozier-Holland. The Supremes had 5 consecutive hits created by HDH. This was the heyday of Motown and the Funk Brothers and all the extraordinary talent they showcased. Living in Detroit at the time, it was an unbelievable experience I will always cherish. 👏👏👏🥰
FYI in grade school we had assembly and 3 winners of a talent contest got to perform. I was performing in the orchestra. The winners performed this song but our Diana and the Supremes were all white. We only had 2 black kids, Orville and his sister. Everybody loved Motown
I grew up in Motown. My four sisters and I would listen to the Supremes on the radio in the kitchen and on our big front porch. We were singing and dancing in a line with our own choreography!
We were lucky to get to see them on tv regularly, along with so many other greats. It was like having music appreciation as a theme of early television broadcasting🎶
Oh man! Instant nostalgia. Nostalgia in a bottle. The Supremes were chart toppers in the sixties, but radio stations regularly played their songs for the next twenty years and then some.
Radio gold, platinum!! A favourite drumbeat as far back as I can recall. Like Stevie's 'I Was Made to Love Her', I've long used Motown as verbal shorthand for it when teaching a song to a band, whether mine or a cover. Great talent finder, nurterer and hit factory. Berry Gordy, staff writers, producers and the legendary Funk Bros. are righteous world cultural heroes and icons. ✌🏼😁🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
When I was growing up, my older sister used to play the Supremes, Beatles and Beach Boys at home (she was 8 years older than me). She was into Motown and the popular music of the 60's. Different times.
I’m 72 and have been playing guitar since I was 11. I fell in love with music at an early age, in part due to my father who played trumpet and listened to big band and jazz. When I started playing he would listen to the music I did and because he was a musician he could understand what made it good. I taught him to play basic guitar. I said all of that to say that I really appreciate these two guys. They have the same passion for the universal language that I do and that being music . I am a huge Beatles fan and love the dive you are doing into their music. The supremes were so huge in the early and middle sixties. One of the top acts. They are the very first group I saw live. I loved their sound and Diana Ross had a very unique and killer voice. We used to listen to top forty radio and when a song hit the top forty it would be put into a rotation and you could hear the song once every one to two hours. So with all the hits they had they were on the radio constantly and we all loved them. They also appeared on Ed Sullivan 16 times.
From the golden age of Motown and the '60s -- love it! Somewhere down the road when you get to '70s Motown, be sure to check out "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by the Undisputed Truth. Brilliant, mysterious, truthful record.
I have a 70's R&B recommendation for you fellaz: Song: Strawberry Letter 23 Artist: The Brothers Johnson Producer: Quincy Jones This song has lyrics that are hard to follow but the melody and musicianship are top class. The song went to #1 on the R&B charts and I believe #5 on Billboard. And, with Q as the producer, you know it sounds good. Check it out.
I so loved this song when I was a kid. I wanted to be a Supreme. I still loved the Supremes after Diana went to do her own thing and Jean Terrell and Cindy Birdsong joined. They were so good. Nathan Jones, Up the ladder to the roof, Time to break down...etc. so many
Suggestions for next documentaries. '20 Feet from Stardom', about the amazing background vocalists throughout rock, soul, R&B etc, some of whom became stars themselves & some who didn't, but were still iconic. Like Merry Clayton, who did the iconic background vocals on the Rolling Stone's Gimme Shelter in the middle of the night, while pregnant. Great doc. Also, 'Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World. About blues musicians & rockers who were all or part Native American, some really big people, like Link Wray, who inspired Jimmy Page & many other hard rockers, Redbone & many others. Jimi Hendrix was of NA ancestry & very proud of it. I learned so much about how much Native Americans influenced & participated in Blues & Rock.
I was in utero when I got to see Diana Ross and the Supremes in Atlantic City, NJ, when my parents went to see them live. Thanks for this today because I needed it. Both of my parents are gone and I think about them often, especially this time of the year. Nice review, guys, and take care 🙂
OH, MAN!!! GREAT PICK, YOU-GUYS!!! One of my first albums, at three years old, was The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart!! OMG - FIRE!!! STILL LOVE THEM, SO MUCH, TODAY!!!
Fellas ... did not know about your Motown Monday program--excellent choice. Che--fun to see you get lost in these tunes. This song, to me, stands out for its production value. What was it, clocking at 2:30 or something like that? Tight? Tight and solid. Funk Bros indeed, La. Unique chord changes, open with the chorus. Brilliant. Thank you.
I live outside Detroit and if you get the chance check out the Motown Museum.....it is fantastic. You get to check out the studio where they recorded this, Stevie, Michael, Aretha, and on and on....
Hi guys hope you're both well. I don't know if you've heard of Groove Armada but they have a great song, mostly overlooked featuring Richie Havens called Hands of Time and I think you'd love it, its on the film Collateral. Take care pals ❤
One (of many) genius moves of Motown was to record for max impact over sh**ty transistors and car radios of the day: THUMPIN 4-on-the-floor, doubled lead vox, LOTS of treble everywhere to cut through, etc.
I think this is a Hollland Dozier Holland song. I may be wrong. The Supremes are the group that took on The Beatles during their time. Great music done oh so well. Not much else to say about excellence other than listen.
FYI. Florence Ballard was the better singer in the group. Diana had the eye appeal and charisma so she got top billing. Mary Wilson was right up there with Diana. That is why the Supremes were so good.
A Motown classic!! Haven’t heard it in a long time. Thanks, guys
The musicianship on these Motown recordings is amazing!!
This was a huge hit! Still can picture the Supremes putting their hands out in front of them when they sang “STOP in the name of love”
Who doesn’t like the Supremes, one of the best groups out of Motown
Listen to all their hits back in the day!
Every time I hear this I see images of my childhood. My teenaged sister played Motown and Beatles nonstop. Thank goodness.
Yup, me too. So happy we grew up when we did. 😊
Perfect song, you can't do a thing to make it any better.
Thanks Laa n Chee. You definitely make my Mondays happier with Motown. ❤😂
The Sound of Motown & the Voice of Diana ROSS. Velvet to my hears.
My favorite Supremes song. Great melody and message sung with heartfelt emotion. A+

Motown ❤❤❤❤❤
Supremes. The name says it all. Everybody has a favorite Supremes song. My is "Come See About Me".Followed closely by "Someday" "We'll Be Together".
Motown Monday ! I’m here Laa and Chee! Miss Ross is on FIRE!!🔥
"I Hear a Symphony" 😊
Great tune. They were so huge
FYI in grade school we had assembly and 3 winners of a talent contest got to perform. I was performing in the orchestra. The winners performed this song but our Diana and the Supremes were all white. We only had 2 black kids, Orville and his sister. Everybody loved Motown
Just an ultimate classic what a blending of great voices!
I grew up in Motown.
My four sisters and I would listen to the Supremes on the radio in the kitchen and on our big front porch. We were singing and dancing in a line with our own choreography!
So much great music released in 1964-66!! The beautiful of these vocal harmonies truly transformed my experience of life on this planet!!
This makes me think of my childhood it was always on the radio 💖
We were lucky to get to see them on tv regularly, along with so many other greats. It was like having music appreciation as a theme of early television broadcasting🎶
One of the greatest songs of the 60’s and one of my favorites thanks guys
The first Motown song in our house. Danced to this 45 in our living room.
You’re listening to my childhood 💜💜💜
Grew up in the era of AM radio with the Motown sound and the British invasion....best music ever....the Supremes were the Queens of that era
Diana and the Supremes were IT
Born in 1961 east Detroit , my 1st am radio played motown non stop!!
Baby Love, and Love child ,are worthy
Little boy when this came out. Loved them, of course.
"Love IS Here" is a MUST listen... my favorite of ALL time ❤
The Supremes are as OG as you can get. They were superstars in the day.
That organ rip in the intro gets me every time!
Don't forget Martha Reeves when you quote the names of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your sound is fantastic! " Reflections" a must hear!!
I was so very fortunate to see Diana Ross in concert in the early 80’s. Wonderful show.
Me too!
Rolling Stone and Bass Player Magazine's Number 1 bassist of all time, James Jamerson, holding down the beat....
Oh man! Instant nostalgia. Nostalgia in a bottle. The Supremes were chart toppers in the sixties, but radio stations regularly played their songs for the next twenty years and then some.
Diana's voice has a lovely fragility. HDH, Diana & the Motown Band is a winning combination.
Radio gold, platinum!! A favourite drumbeat as far back as I can recall. Like Stevie's 'I Was Made to Love Her', I've long used Motown as verbal shorthand for it when teaching a song to a band, whether mine or a cover. Great talent finder, nurterer and hit factory.

Their name says it all.
Check out Diana and Lionel singing Endless Love on the Grammy’s! 15 years later (1981?) her voice was just Divine. No other word to describe it!
Love Motown Monday. Thank you for letting me hear my childhood.
Still have the “Where Did Our Love Go” vinyl album which I claimed as mine as a 10 yr old. 💜💜💜

Check it out.
the original is the way to go on that one...Shuggy Otis!
I remember hearing this on my 14 Transistor(!) radio way back when.
I so loved this song when I was a kid. I wanted to be a Supreme. I still loved the Supremes after Diana went to do her own thing and Jean Terrell and Cindy Birdsong joined. They were so good. Nathan Jones, Up the ladder to the roof, Time to break down...etc. so many
Every time I hear this song I instantly think of "That was the Iron Box twins, coming to you live, form the ladies' room, at Tubby's Drive Inn."
Motown Forever !!! Detroit in the House
Motown at it's best and now Temptations can sing My Girl
Yeah! She Killed That.

Love that era of music ❤, soundtrack of my parent’s childhood 👍
Motown has always been my favorite genre!
This was the one that put them on the map.
Fantastic music from Motown.

Thanks for the excellent reaction, fellas 😊😊 Just a side note on My Girl in my opinion,has one of best guitar licks of all time!!
That lick is stuck in my brain forever.
@@AirplayBeatsThat was Robert White
OH, MAN!!! GREAT PICK, YOU-GUYS!!! One of my first albums, at three years old, was The Supremes Sing Rodgers & Hart!! OMG - FIRE!!! STILL LOVE THEM, SO MUCH, TODAY!!!

Otherworldly
It’s the sound that can’t be duplicated like the righteous brothers and The Beach Boys and Motown
It seemed like every week there was a new Supremes song released! A deep dive into great Motown songs!
Diana. Man!!!!!
All the junior high girls dancing in the kitchen at the rec center to the supremes was epic in 1966..
Yeaaa had this album when I was about 10 years old😂 played it alll the time
STOP! ✋
I live outside Detroit and if you get the chance check out the Motown Museum.....it is fantastic. You get to check out the studio where they recorded this, Stevie, Michael, Aretha, and on and on....
The key to 60's Motown is open with the chorus to pull you in immediately.
What a lot of people overlook is James Jamerson's bass, mostly because he was so deep in the pocket.
Hi guys hope you're both well. I don't know if you've heard of Groove Armada but they have a great song, mostly overlooked featuring Richie Havens called Hands of Time and I think you'd love it, its on the film Collateral. Take care pals ❤
The Funk Bros. with James Jamerson on bass.
One (of many) genius moves of Motown was to record for max impact over sh**ty transistors and car radios of the day: THUMPIN 4-on-the-floor, doubled lead vox, LOTS of treble everywhere to cut through, etc.
Treble -- because everyday radios didn’t have s**t for bass-development of good woofers on car/portable radios was years away.
And The Funk Brothers
are holding it down.
you will love the spinners aswell
I've got a couple of song suggestions for you guys. Keep up the great work.
Rufus & Chaka Khan - Do You Love What You Feel
Rose Royce - Still in Love
motown monday: martha reeves and the vandellas, Honey Chile, Jimmy Mack
Nice touch: the organ swelling up right at the beginning.
✨Luvin’ 🎼🎶Motown~Mondays❕🎶🎼 Great Reaction & Commentary! Please, Consider a🎼🎶🎤 Female~Fridays🎤🎶🎼❕✨💖✨
Growing up in the 60s, by the time I was 10, I wanted to marry Diana Ross. I traded a badass Zombies album for one of her's.
I think this is a Hollland Dozier Holland song. I may be wrong. The Supremes are the group that took on The Beatles during their time. Great music done oh so well. Not much else to say about excellence other than listen.
