MY AUNT DIANE TOOK ME TO SEE THIS I WAS 6 OR 7 YEARS OLD WE WENT TO THE AFTERNOON SHOW THAT WAS THE BEST PART OF LIVING IN UPTOWN IN HARLEM WE WOULD SPEND THE WEEKEND AT MY GRANDMOTHER'S AND WOULD WALK 4 BLOCKS TO THE THEATER YOU COULDN'T BEAT IT!!!
No comment yet? This is some of the best music ever created. Even as a dedicated metalhead, I can appreciate this stuff. Marvelettes could do no wrong, in my book.
I love it! This is beyond awesome!!!Seeing all the Motown superstars in the early years before they became the legends that they all would later become. Raw talent at it's best. To think they likely had no idea how they would change the world through their music. Thank you for posting this video.
I'm obsessed with Motown music!! Ever since I can remember I was enamored of the music that comes from this era...My parents played their music all the time
historical document. Wish the audio quality was better, but we are lucky to have this the way it is.. on the plus side, the bass stands out well in the mix...
Thanks for posting this. I was born in the ‘D’ in ’59. Remember wanting to go to the Reviews when they were in the Downtown theaters and being told...”You’re TOO SMALL”.
Dang! Everyone is so young, talented, and hungry to reach the peak of their Legendary Careers! Berry Gordy's "Motown Locomotive Music Machine" was just beginning to steam roll itself up that Record Breaking Hill straight into Music Hall of Fame History, Baby!
Love how Martha flings that teddy bear off to the side! The Supremes still hadn't had a Top 40 hit by then, and I think singing a ballad for this appearance, however good, was a mistake.
The Contours were more known for their Dancing than Singing, once The Temptations & Four tops they were blown out of the way. They aren't even in The Rock 'N Roll Hall Of Fame.

Was Martha Reeves "Moonwalking" off stage? This was when The Vandellas and Contours had more popularity than Supremes and Temptations.
LIVE performances!!..no lip-synching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man! Thank you for posting this!! I think that is my Dad, Patrick Williams, on trumpet (The one closest to the drums)

I don't get it. The Temptations only backed up Mary Wells? Where was David Ruffin?

I also liked Marvin Gaye Hitch Hike and also The Marvelettes Playboy

One of the best Motown lead singers Billy Gordon
Shout out to the Motown city Detroit
Man! That Choker Campbell could blow! And it's great to see The Love-Tones perform with Mary Wells! They were a great harmony group.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS, WHERE HAVE THEY GONE?//
