Barbra Joan... did you guys have a "Hesitation Dance" in Jr. High around 1958 where the band would hold on one chord and everybody paused from dancing until the beat started again? Just wondering.. we had it in Ft. Worth, TX. Can't find anyone who remembers. Peace.
Please, listen many "Blue Notes" sessions, with Rudy Van Gelden, with his withe gloves, as Sound Sorcerer. With Miles, Thelonious, Milt Jakcson. The Sound of Bernie Gordie come from this guy, more or less..I discovered "Martha and the Vendellas" by...Chris Squire, Bassist and Founder of Yes. 5 years of "European Tours" as Bass Tech, 1999-2004. Many nights to talk Musics during many years. Finally, please also The Bass Solo of "Starships Troopers", Its a respectuous Hommage to "Bernie Gordy" Sound, James Jamerson of course. And Alan White, who played with Joe Cocker was reallly happy too. Martha and The Vendellas. A Pure Diamond.
lol I posted this 2 years ago and YES❣️ I sure did get to perform this and quite a few others from our albums!! I’ll see if I can find video of that one. Hope you guys are still around! 🎤🎶🎸
At the time it seemed it was destined to continue endlessly, without skipping a beat. It resonates today as though it had. Thank you HDH, Smokey, Funk Bros., Andantes, Maxine Powell and all the incredible singers. Thank you Barry Gordy for all the work it took to fulfill your vision of GREATNESS! 10/2019
I think this above the Bowie/Jagger version is the one that sticks to me the most. I remember it being on Freemont Street overhead led light show down town sin. city and they played this to a light show. Either way just timeless. GOD WHY CANT SO MUCH OF TODAYS POP BE LIKE THIS?
forever!! My son, since the beginning, learned to enjoy "my" music - one of his memories (he tells me) is watching me dancing all over the house when doing housework with this kind of great forever music playing.
In The Navy, on a Communications Station in Greece... 1964-66. My girlfriend, back in Brooklyn, sent me this "45" and a friend of mine & me walked down the road, carrying a portable record player, playing this song over & over... trying to keep the player vertical and not skipping the record..Yeah... I remember this song! Thanks for the memories!
If you were alive during the time this was played, you would remember how extremely popular it was and how often it was played on the radio. It was and is one of the very best motown sound. (A sound which will in all probability - never be repeated - sadly)
+Sheila6325 I think my dancing in the street was back in 1966? Is that when this came out? I had to come back and listen again. I loved it then, and I still love it now!
Any place designated by blue on the election map by county. Fact: Palm Beach county in Florida, the home of Trump's Mar A Lago resort, it's one of them, too.
I spent my summer vacation with my aunt, uncle and first cousins in Detroit when this classic single came out in 1964 ...everyone was literally dancing in the streets!!!
I was a 14 year old kid back in '64 and as you were dancing in DETRIOT I was in NORTH JERSEY with my friends also DANCING IN THE STREET ....we had a lot of fun back in the 60's :)
I am 73 (today), I watched this video about a month ago,, and then went to the Martha Reeves website...at that time, Martha and the Vandellas were doing a gig in Shanghai...Martha was still cookin' at age 78. "Long live Motown; Long Live the 'Girl Groups' of the 1960s".
Oh God she's so great. Every time I see her perform she brings tears to my eyes. Her charisma is top shelf, her smile, her sparkle. There's nobody like her and never will be. Wherever you are, Martha, I love you! (and I love you too Vandellas!)
Without question - one of the Greatest Female Singing Groups of All Time - with their Signature Song - Dancing In The Streets - Just makes you want to Get Up and Dance!!!
I was just sitting at the computer working, when this song came into my head. Not sure where it came from, but it made me feel so good, I had to stop work, and watch and listen to it again. It was great then, and it's GOLD now. One of the 60's very best records. Bless you Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. I was one of those white kids who didn't care (then or now) about the Beatles or the Stones. But give me Motown!
This song is the perfect connection to some of the best times and memories in my life. It is amazing how much a song can remind you of a time, place or person. This is a favorite :)
Dance as manufacturing, farming and energy jobs go down the drain, illegals pour over an unguarded border, crime increases, morale is killed, chaos is rising? What a SICK mentality!!!!
I feel privileged to have lived through the 60's what a time that was. I know we had The Beatles etc here in the UK, but the Motown stuff - well it just blew me away
Girls gettin' down and funky. The best version ever. Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG! you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!
You can never bet RAW SOUL of the 60s. Imitation is the best form of flattery. This is who we are when it comes to music. All of (or most of )the Rockers give props to this era of music and song. Careers were built on the backs of this form of music. Long live Motown and all the Motown's around the world. We rule.
Yes! 1964 Was Great! It was plenty of protesting against school racial segregation and the Vietnam War. The scumbag teamster Jimmy Hoffa was convicted and the USA help out in a coup to overthrow the Brazilian President, starting 21 years of dictatorship there. Also, Mrs. Malcolm Peabody, 72, sat 2 days in a Florida jail, for participating in an anti-segregation demonstration there and some black folks were kidnapped and beaten by members of the KKK. Their badly decomposed bodies are found just before three Congress of Racial Equality workers, are abducted and murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi, by local members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan with local law enforcement officials involved in the conspiracy. Who can forget the plentiful style and class!?
Man! This is an awesome tune! I get goosebumps whenever i hear it! And yet it's a very simple, straightforward song but with an extremely catchy, feel good vibe to it. A real hymn to those amazing 60's. Thanks Motown for making our lives happier! :)
I love videos like this. People of different races sitting and singing together with no drama or racial tension. Music truly brings people together ❤️❤️❤️
I definitely remember this song back in the sixties. My household had this record and everyone in my household was playing this song. This is one of my favorite song. Dancing In The Streets!!!
Like a time machine, every time I hear this song it whizzes me back to mid-Sixties Memory Lane. you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
This song brings back such memories! When I was a freshman in college, they closed off our street to traffic so we could get out there and dance! Of course they played this song! I grew up on Motown music and still love it to this day. Besides, this lady is my namesake...
I didn't know this Motown group did this song. I thought it was Bowie n jagger, im only 37 born December 1981 so im happy to know now after being at Motown the Musical theatre show in Scotland . Such a great track to dance to, its hard not to want to move to it. Also thought that you cant hurry love was a phil collins song ,its the supremes. I stand corrected .soo much talent at Motown and soo much quality music . Michael Jackson still my all time favourite by a distance . Nobody excites me or moves me emotionally or to dance like MJ, the most special sweet man in my eyes and his talent was off the charts. I miss him, i love him. Ill take his music and memories to my grave .mj is a big part of my life and his music dance n message of love has made my life better. But a big thank u to all the Motown stars for sharing their gift and soulful music which was pure and tasteful, all about love n respect .peace ,lets continue to spread Motown n MJ for future generations to have quality soulful music
I remember this song when I was three, growing up here in Detroit. I even remember the street parties. Man, it was fun. Every time I walk past the Motown Museum, a classic like this starts "dancing" in my head. 📀
Mannnnn I loved me some Martha Reeves when I was a little boy in the sixties, hahaha, hahaha. But I never knew until today when I was reading this article. That this was considered a protest song utilized by the Black panthers and H.Rap Brown at some of their rallies. Isn't it ironic that what this song was trying to convey way back then. People across the nation dancing in the streets, we ain't dancing but we're out in the streets together united trying to bring about change. RIP to all the fallen and I hope they are reaping the rewards of the martyrs that they are.
Get it aunties. Nothin nearly your caliber around these days. Love you all Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG! Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
This song is universal. So timeless & it still rocks. It doesn't who you are - from every corners of our Earth - it kinda makes you get up and dance :)
Martha & The Vandellas' music has me soaring through time - to my college years at the University of Maryland, College Park Campus. So upbeat and so happy; music to dance to! Those were happy years!
oh my god... does this take you right back to a magic time... those of you who are lucky (old :) ) enough to remember hearing this for the very first time... wow... --Mike
The wonderful Martha Reeves, and The Vandellas. What a voice Martha has. Great song. This and "Jimmy Mack" are two special favourites of mine, and I listen to them constantly.
One of those iconic masterpieces that cross generational lines. Just listen to the chunka chunka bottom on this tune. Just outstanding. Sounded great over the booming am radio signal from WABC New York as a kid in the 60s.
I'll be 34 next month and I can't believe I remember this music. This is what my mom grew up on, but I remember her playing motown music. I'm a music junkie 😆 I love dancing, singing, watching and listening to music. I'm dancing now 😆 🤣
This was a great week for dancing in the streets. I went into the front yard and did the Snoopy Happy Dance! Neighbors looked at me like I was crazy. (I live in a red state).
Who remember this song by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas Dancing in the streets? 1964 I was 4 years old when that song was out. My favorite song and group.
in 64 my dad joined the US MARINES. He did 2 tours from 65 -69 with India Company in 68 he was up Khe San hill 831 as an F.O. calling in Air Strikes 3rd Batt 26th Marine.
My dear friend just passed away at only 37 years old and she loved this song. Listening in her memory in 2021.
Sorry for the loss
Its amazing to remember peoples with songs! Sorry for the loss.
@@traceebrandon9973 thank you.
@@donpapaofficialch.1920 I agree, music is really powerful. Thank you.
So sorry for your loss.
i'm in my 70's and still dance to this .. and still have the moves . lol
Barbra Joan Me too!
Barbra Joan... did you guys have a "Hesitation Dance" in Jr. High around 1958 where the band would hold on one chord and everybody paused from dancing until the beat started again? Just wondering.. we had it in Ft. Worth, TX. Can't find anyone who remembers. Peace.
Your in your 70s?? I though that you were 40 at the most!
@@sitarnut That sounds LIT! Im dtill in highschool, and have never experienced such a momemt!
I'm in my late 30's and listing to this. 38 to be exact!
Motown is probably the most loved record label on this planet and for good reason...😊
Allways and Forever... : )
l love those songs l’m from Puerto Rico but l will never change those songs that what we call music.
The city of Detroit wasn’t all that happy when Berry Gordy moved Motown to L.A. in search of bigger bucks.
Please, listen many "Blue Notes" sessions, with Rudy Van Gelden, with his withe gloves, as Sound Sorcerer. With Miles, Thelonious, Milt Jakcson. The Sound of Bernie Gordie come from this guy, more or less..I discovered "Martha and the Vendellas" by...Chris Squire, Bassist and Founder of Yes. 5 years of "European Tours" as Bass Tech, 1999-2004. Many nights to talk Musics during many years. Finally, please also The Bass Solo of "Starships Troopers", Its a respectuous Hommage to "Bernie Gordy" Sound, James Jamerson of course. And Alan White, who played with Joe Cocker was reallly happy too. Martha and The Vendellas. A Pure Diamond.
Money (That’s what I want)
I'm 69 and recovering from cancer. Soon as I am well I'm going to perform this with my husband's band!! Can't wait!!

you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!
Everybody no matter who you are or what race you are loved Motown..
Obviously you haven't Hurd hardcore Belgian trance
@Noel Deyne lies
At the time it seemed it was destined to continue endlessly, without skipping a beat. It resonates today as though it had. Thank you HDH, Smokey, Funk Bros., Andantes, Maxine Powell and all the incredible singers. Thank you Barry Gordy for all the work it took to fulfill your vision of GREATNESS! 10/2019
Amen!
Good music has no age
like it
I think this above the Bowie/Jagger version is the one that sticks to me the most. I remember it being on Freemont Street overhead led light show down town sin. city and they played this to a light show. Either way just timeless. GOD WHY CANT SO MUCH OF TODAYS POP BE LIKE THIS?
Good music is timeless
forever!! My son, since the beginning, learned to enjoy "my" music - one of his memories (he tells me) is watching me dancing all over the house when doing housework with this kind of great forever music playing.
Damn right it doesn't.
This music never gets old.
Correct
hey 👋how are you doing today??
Never ever ever
Martha has such a beautiful voice and is a gorgeous woman!
My favorite girl group then and now. She IS beautiful.
this was the video which showcased her unique spirit the best
Please - no one can touch the original. Between the Funk Brothers' blistering groove and Martha and the Vandellas' perfect vocals, this is THE one.
Je suis entièrement ok avec vous !! L'original est la meilleure version.👍👍
I think David Bowie and Mick Jagger did a good job when they preformed this. It's so happy and gay, I can't help but smile.
Is that Marvin Gaye on drums?
Diver down dancing in the street
In The Navy, on a Communications Station in Greece... 1964-66. My girlfriend, back in Brooklyn, sent me this "45" and a friend of mine & me walked down the road, carrying a portable record player, playing this song over & over... trying to keep the player vertical and not skipping the record..Yeah... I remember this song! Thanks for the memories!
That's how good this record is.
Thank you.
Are you from greece?
Wow. What a beautiful memory. 🎵
I played on a cassete recorder
Love this story!
This song is timeless. You can't help but to get up and dance. I love Marth Reeves and the Vandellas.
A happier world then .😢
When this pandemic is over we will be 💃dancing in the street🕺
Hey now, RJ, down in L.A.🤣
Not in New York lol
If we all do it, they can't stop us!!!!
This 👏 is 👏what 👏 needs 👏 to 👏 happen 👏
That will be a great day
If you were alive during the time this was played, you would remember how extremely popular it was and how often it was played on the radio. It was and is one of the very best motown sound. (A sound which will in all probability - never be repeated - sadly)
OMG! You're Jimmy Mack!!!
+James Mack Yep, and I actually did dance in the streets in Washington DC to this song! Fantastic!
+Tom Lecakis Jimmy Mack you were my fav song .and what a great great band. sadly most of the Funk Bros are now deceased
+Sheila6325 I think my dancing in the street was back in 1966? Is that when this came out? I had to come back and listen again. I loved it then, and I still love it now!
james mack yeah, I was around. what a golden age.
Art, talent, intelligence and beauty, I AM SPEECHLESS!!
Class
+Penny Chop Oops! That too. They were just marvelous!
Human nature version is better
Awww, bless your heart...
One of the most infectious and positive tunes ever made. This song is timeless. It will be played by my grandchildren. =)
Philadelphia PA! Baltimore and DC! And don’t forget the Motor City.. New York and LA...!!! 💜
Those are perfect lyrics since all those places decided this election. YAY!
Pittsburgh helped, too!
The perfect song for today 💙
Any place designated by blue on the election map by county. Fact: Palm Beach county in Florida, the home of Trump's Mar A Lago resort, it's one of them, too.
Girls gettin' down and funky. The best version ever.

"Long live Motown; Long Live the 'Girl Groups' of the 1960s".
Yes,and Martha Reeves should still be singing.
Oh God she's so great. Every time I see her perform she brings tears to my eyes. Her charisma is top shelf, her smile, her sparkle. There's nobody like her and never will be. Wherever you are, Martha, I love you! (and I love you too Vandellas!)

The sad thing is in 20 years only us old souls who kept traditional music alive will remember this.
Hello Shirley, How are you doing?
Without question - one of the Greatest Female Singing Groups of All Time - with their Signature Song - Dancing In The Streets - Just makes you want to Get Up and Dance!!!
I'm dancing..
Amen brother.
Bill DeFalco nooo choradetts
Yeah, just hearing the first few seconds of the intro; and then, when she starts to sing gives me a thrill.
I sure am feeling this music today~!!!!!
this is the kind of song that makes you smile and feel energized
I was just sitting at the computer working, when this song came into my head. Not sure where it came from, but it made me feel so good, I had to stop work, and watch and listen to it again. It was great then, and it's GOLD now. One of the 60's very best records. Bless you Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

What a great voice that woman had. Great song Love this!
This song is the perfect connection to some of the best times and memories in my life. It is amazing how much a song can remind you of a time, place or person. This is a favorite :)
Dancing in the streets for a new America!
Philadelphia
Motown THANK YOU!!!!!
Dancing in the street for A NEW WORLD!!!! This is Joy, Hope and Life, for all over the World!!!
Dance as manufacturing, farming and energy jobs go down the drain, illegals pour over an unguarded border, crime increases, morale is killed, chaos is rising? What a SICK mentality!!!!
This song would be ranked #40 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of all Time and was added to the National Recording Registry. Now THAT'S a song!
Too bad almost none of today's songs would be given those honors.
I feel privileged to have lived through the 60's what a time that was. I know we had The Beatles etc here in the UK, but the Motown stuff - well it just blew me away
Me too. Im 68 now
This Song greatly embodies the spirit of the mood of the 60's. Sadly, the mood did not last.
We could SO USE a National Dance Party right about now!! THIS SONG never quits!!
Dancing in the street today!!
This song lifts me up, makes me want to dance!
Kodie, that is exactly why the music of that time was so awesome, especially
Martha and the Vandellas, Lets dance!!
so right ""Dancing in the Streets""
hopefully in the street Kodie Jc
hopefully while there aren't any cars coming :o) #besafe
Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
Girls gettin' down and funky. The best version ever.

The era of back-combing and tons of hairspray! Motown is still the best!
You can never bet RAW SOUL of the 60s. Imitation is the best form of flattery. This is who we are when it comes to music. All of (or most of )the Rockers give props to this era of music and song. Careers were built on the backs of this form of music. Long live Motown and all the Motown's around the world. We rule.
Truth Indeed AMEN
OMG, this is nothing but nostalgia for me, since my dad used to play it.
Yes
I wasn’t even born back then & I miss those days, smh 🤦🏾♂️
Same
Back when America had style.
Now your comment is more relevant than ever!
Jack Murphy back when ths blacks could sing
Back when guys liked girls when marraige was between a man and women.
As well as class, education, originality, maturity, strength and dignity...
Yes! 1964 Was Great!
It was plenty of protesting against school racial segregation and the Vietnam War. The scumbag teamster Jimmy Hoffa was convicted and the USA help out in a coup to overthrow the Brazilian President, starting 21 years of dictatorship there.
Also, Mrs. Malcolm Peabody, 72, sat 2 days in a Florida jail, for participating in an anti-segregation demonstration there and some black folks were kidnapped and beaten by members of the KKK.
Their badly decomposed bodies are found just before three Congress of Racial Equality workers, are abducted and murdered near Philadelphia, Mississippi, by local members of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan with local law enforcement officials involved in the conspiracy.
Who can forget the plentiful style and class!?
Man! This is an awesome tune! I get goosebumps whenever i hear it! And yet it's a very simple, straightforward song but with an extremely catchy, feel good vibe to it. A real hymn to those amazing 60's. Thanks Motown for making our lives happier! :)
Hallelujah ... we did it fellow Americans! Can't think of anything I'd rather do than dance in the street to this tune!
Brought here by Celebrity Masterchef. Martha Reeves on it, 78 and still going strong, love it.
Damn Martha Reeves was hot.
yeah i guess
Why you say "was"... she's alive.
Cali Méro idk maybe because she's older
She IS cute!! GREAT Singer!!
Ayub Duale dont call my aunte hot
one of the greatest songs ever ... thank you Martha and the Vandellas
I will never get tired of this song!
💗💕🥁❤🥁🎵🎶🎤💃💃💃 I LOVE this song! You go Martha and the Vandellas!❤❤❤
I love videos like this. People of different races sitting and singing together with no drama or racial tension. Music truly brings people together ❤️❤️❤️
Love it love it, remember it all. Danced every chance I got. 67 now and still dance whenever I can!
AMEN!
It surely did when I used to go to Bandstand.
That's what that song was all about. It was a wonderful time.
To bad black people were literally being chased by dogs and sprayed by water hoses on the outside of the building by whites.
I definitely remember this song back in the sixties. My household had this record and everyone in my household was playing this song. This is one of my favorite song. Dancing In The Streets!!!
Like a time machine, every time I hear this song it whizzes me back to mid-Sixties Memory Lane.
you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!
Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
I'm 67, white, I absolutely loooove this and always did! Thank you Motown!!!! 💯🎶🎵
back in 64 me and my little cousins dancing on the sidewalk and this playing on the radio this song made little kids bounce
This song WAS the anthem of the 60's.
HAHA FUNNY JOKE
+TheRobloxian09 uewfiefdjvfdvudhrashadboiden
have of that shit in movie didnt even happen ....dont believe every movie you see some people are soooo easy smdh
I'd argue that Beatles/Aretha Franklin/Bob Dylan probably had the lead that decade
Dancing in Las Vegas 👍

When You begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.

The wonderful Martha Reeves, and The Vandellas. What a voice Martha has. Great song. This and "Jimmy Mack" are two special favourites of mine, and I listen to them constantly.
"My Baby Loves Me" is also a classic.
Add Heat Wave for me.
One of those iconic masterpieces that cross generational lines. Just listen to the chunka chunka bottom on this tune. Just outstanding. Sounded great over the booming am radio signal from WABC New York as a kid in the 60s.
it sure did, even down in little Metuchen, New Jersey.
There’s no need to state the year you’re listening to this because this song will never tire out!
Huge thanks to the Motor City!!!!
I love that song. It sounds like an affirmation of LIFE and FREEDOM. Throw off the social shackles. Dancing in the streets. Celebrate LIFE!
That was we 'felt' the music!
I still love this song 50 years later 🙂

This was a great week for dancing in the streets. I went into the front yard and did the Snoopy Happy Dance! Neighbors looked at me like I was crazy. (I live in a red state).
Who remember this song by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas Dancing in the streets? 1964 I was 4 years old when that song was out. My favorite song and group.
hey 👋how are you doing today??
in 64 my dad joined the US MARINES. He did 2 tours from 65 -69 with India Company in 68 he was up Khe San hill 831 as an F.O. calling in Air Strikes 3rd Batt 26th Marine.
Today's the day! I'm a dancing in the street!
This is the first song I remember hearing as a little kid :)
Real music by real talent! The fact that they are 3 lovely ladies, well that's just a real nice bonus!
Its 1965 and I am home from college. I will be working with my father and great uncle in a hardware store here in Homer City, PA.
