Damn this song was good, and these ladies!!!! I miss those days. I saw this episode on Soul train! I thought it was '71, but it was '73. man time flies. The 578 people who gave a thumbs down are DEAF. Thank You Supremes for this.
~~ " Pick a decade and stick to it " ...thats my motto--- I'm pushing 73 and happily living in the sixties ...I got my shit together and it stayed together .
BORN IN 66, AND A KID DURING THE SUPER 70'S. YES THE DECADE WAS AMAZING TO GROW UP IN. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84, ROCK ON J!!. AND MARY WILSON , MY FAVE SUPREME !!!.
One of the very best Supremes songs....without Diana. Who would have guessed?! Jean Terrell was a very underrated singer, but had big shoes to fill, no doubt!
I remembered this song as being by the Supremes. But I didn’t realize it wasn’t Diana Ross singing at the time. Then I found it it came out in 70’s after DRoss had gone solo. But it sounded so similar to her.
You hit the nail on the head Mary looks so happy and the way she was dancing she never danced like that in the days with Diana Ross she was loose and you were very perceptive it look like she had a weight lifted off of her shoulders rest in peace dream girl
@@orane3549 He found out that his discovery could sing a world better than the lady he was promoting for movie star. So he unplugged the trio and gave the lady his all.
@@edgarsoberontorchia3697 Bingo! You said it!!! Diana complained to Berry if she felt threatened by anyone more talented, or likable than her and got him to crush them.
God bless Frank E Wilson for writing this and other timeless classics....All the Supremes had to do was deliver it in style and they did that in an abundance - one of the greatest Motown tunes ever
Jean Terrell was the lead singer of the Supremes after Dianna Ross departed the group. Man.....Ms.Terrell was no joke! Her sultry voice did it for me back when I was a young lad. I remember listening to these great Motown classics in the early 70's.
@@simon2077 what do you mean ? You said the country lost mowtown that sounds to me that Motown is no longer in business no need to be a rude fucking asshole
Yvonne Sanders I just heard a live version that was very good but this one gives me chills every time I listen to it. They’re lip syncing this one I’m sure.
What i wouldn't give to have women like these singing today, their voices singing in sweet harmony, with style and grace long past away when rap and computers came into our world, forever to stay...
+Franklin NJ Search better mate. Unfortunately the hypes nowadays are computer made music and rap indeed. But these sort of groups still exist. You just have to search a little better ;)
+Franklin NJ I challenge anyone to give a logical reason why rap music can't be as good, to hate a genre that impactful is as bias as it is thoughtless. For the record hip-hop is one of the few genres that even keep this kind of quality music alive through sampling. Don't have different forms of creativity and free speech, all kinds are great!
Jean Terrell, the ultimate professional who clearly enjoyed this performance with the other two, they all look so happy performing this classic Motown song. Lyrics very appropriate today, what with wars going on in Israel/Palestine and Ukraine. Why can't we all live in peace?
At 60 I look back on these days and miss them so much it brings tears to my eyes. I would give anything to live them again. We had the best cars and music ever. Did I mention the Women ? They were so beautiful. The fat tatted cows were all travelling with the Circus.
I think THIS is my favorite Supremes song. Thank You Jean, and ladies. I miss this so badly..... Just wonderful music. God to be back one more time in 1970. Just being 12, at the time to me I think it was the best year of America. African-Americans were being realized as they too, were Americans. At least I saw it that way. I went all through school with Black kids, and I lived in a small Kansas town! I guess the small town I miss too. I pray America can feel this feeling again.
Max R. Absolutely love this song . Thought it was DR singing it when it came out in ‘70 and forgot she had already left the group. Being 13 and living in Detroit you’re so right. What a great time it was musically.
concuerdo en que es una magnifica vocalista, pero el lugar debió ser de Mary por derecho de antigüedad, es como cuando esperas un acenso en el trabajo por ser el que ha estado al pendiente del puesto esperando subir :)
Jean had such a sweet and rich voice, Diana was more about mannerisms and TONS of facial gestures, while Jean didn't need to do much physically 'cause her voice alone was THE BOMB!!!
Leslie James I guess you're basically right. Big money or even the hope thereof often brings out the worst in people I guess that's show business THE MUSIC IS THE THING!!!
I played this song every morning before going to school in the 60's on my luggage style record player. It is amazing to now know the lead was not Diana amazing what we were presented was not truth. From then to now 2019 my Motto has been " Trust but Verify " as with " 3 can keep a Secret if 2 are dead . Ben Franklin
@@monicabella7894 You're wrong, in 2019 because of her dedication to the historical preservation of the group, today MARY WILSON = THE QUEEN OF THE SUPREMES...........Diane, WHO?
This reminds me of the beautiful women ( Grandmother and mother ) that raised me. Pure class. Look at the passion that Jean, Mary, and Lynda has. Priceless beauty
Even though Barry Gordy did not give a crap about the Supremes after Diana went solo Mary and the Supremes still rocked it! Up the ladder to roof us wicked awesome also!
My two favorite Supremes songs are Stoned Love and Up The Ladder, made after Diana Ross left. Nothing against Ms. Ross, but I think the rest of the group was under-appreciated.
Gosh, was she, wow,,, I would have crawled to your feet wimpered to you like adog, just to had a date with you,,, one day with you would have brought me a life time of time of happyness,,, honistly, maz,,, by to you, xxx
Another thing about this record: Notice how as Motown production reached perfection, you hear nothing but music. Every space in the background has sound, some subtle some louder, all driving the melody along. It's a "wall of sound" but not like Phil Spector's. It''s somewhat subtle. But this is what Motown records was about all along, making records you simply could not resist loving.
One of the greatest soul songs ever by one the greatest grouups ever Also never forget Florence Ballard ,her contribution to the Supremes made them who they were.
Mary... she was having sooo much fun here... how did we ever got to lose such style, grace, beauty, talent.... this is my favorite post- Ross Supremes’ song.. NEVER been able to listen to it just once... Rest in eternal peace, Mary!!
Saddened to hear of Ms. Wilson's passing. As a youngster in the early 70's, these were my favorite Supremes hits. Was too young to fully appreciate their Motown heyday hits.
Oh my gosh, this is a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL video... Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson, and Linda Laurence... three incredible women, I could easily have fallen in love with each of them... what artists, voices, the way they move, the most amazing performers, the positive energy. I remember watching Soul Train when I was a kid... but now, as an adult, to see this again, gives me goosebumps and makes me want to cry like a baby! This song ("Stone Love" is the correct title) was written by Frank Wilson, who also wrote "Up the Ladder to the Roof" which Jean made famous. Two magnificent songs, which will be with us for eternity because of their immense beauty. Thank you for posting this terrific video and making my day!
+gibwise No she is not. Jean is the sister of Heavyweight Boxer Ernie Terrell . Tammi Terrell's real last name was Montgomery. She used "Terrell" as her stage name.
Solid soul pre-disco 70-71. Very danceable. Great hook, mantra. Cute and controversial lyrics. Crisp and easy listening music. Luv the New Supremes. Luv that stoned love. Thanks, Supremes. Vive les rock soul pop and retro freaks...
Frank Wilson wrote this song . One of the best Soul and Gospel song writers if all time. Of course you realise this is a Gospel song . I also pray for peace and l8ve . Amen.
This piece is one of the most powerful among the zillions made by Motown. "Pray for peace" is in the lyrics, made in 70. I was 12, the country's soul was being torn apart by Vietnam.. This is a holy song.
+Walter Pewen It is. It was written as a prayer by Kenny Thomas of Pontiac, Michigan. He was just a teenager at the time! If you get the chance, check out the original long version of the song with Jean Terrell doing the intro. It is the sweetest sound to ever come out of Motown!
+DetroitLives313 Thanks. I will look for the long version. It's interesting I had that reaction, I had no idea, but something about hearing it again after all these years hit a button in me. It's truly beautiful beyond belief.
As a "minor player" part of "The Alternative Disco" in the late 70's - Dundee, Scotland - This was the one song I stood by that we had to open with. It never let us down....
Surely the consensus must be that, forgetting the with or without Diana noise, this is right up there with any Supremes groove. Killer jam. Old school rules.
I would like to think so, but the final singles by The Supremes with Jean as lead singer were terrible. Motown had lost its way, and I think Jean realized that. Motown's operational model had changed by the early seventies. Unfortunately for The Supremes, they didn't have anyone in the group who could write or produce hits, or who could find hits for the group. Acts like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, who could write and produce their own music, did well in the 70s. Acts that couldn't, namely Diana Ross and separately The Supremes, didn't do as well.
R.i.p Mary... a beautiful force to be reckoned with... her dreams became a reality. From being tough as hell, and totally believing in her and her sisters. Never forgotten dear girl, woman, diva, and so much more 🥰 a full life 💕🤗💕
I wish someone could take this song and do a beautiful video as a way to pay tribute all those people who lost their lives or were injury because they were different. When will the hate stop. The Supremes really sang this song and the message still ring true today as when it did back when it was first release to us. Right on Supremes.
Being 59 now I well remember all this wonderful happy and joyous music which spoke to the masses about the hope for a better life for all and many of us at the time listened and tried hard to be better people..We could sure use that same sound from today's artists now..
I'm an old Brit now but remember listening to my older cousin's Motown Chartbusters LPs ... loved my some Motown n Philly sound ever since... now with UA-cam I can get to see the old SoulTrain originals we never got to see in the day...
I can see Mary is happy singing this song. She was a very emotional woman, and had her ups and downs. Nobody can take away her and Flo's contribution to the Supremes. I am thankful to have lived in the time when these great groups and songs were popular
Absolutely Rey Cara: Jean Terrell far far better singer than Ross, and this was a stronger unit of Supremes vocally and visually that just never got promoted
After all these years , this is STILL my all - time fav' . Such a powerful/beautiful song perfectly performed by these wonderful women . I wish they could live forever , and they will , in our hearts .
Love this song , it still gives me goose bumps , it has to be one of the supremes best songs ever. I play this song on the juke box stil today. Love Motown.. I think nothing of walking in the bar and playing the supremes, the four tops, the temptations, the chiffons , etc great stuff. Wish I could time travel to see these groups. Glad I can see them on here.
It is arguably one of the best tracks Motown ever cut. At the peak of their power, this one is a grand slam and you'll never forget how much love is in it....
Why so much dislike for Miss Ross here? Saw Diana in Vegas in the 80's and it was a good show. But I do love Jean Terrels voice on this track and this is definitely one of the best Supremes songs.
Love this great song by the inimitable Supremes.. For me you can keep Diana Ross. Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong were the real talent. The great Frank Wilson who wrote this rarely gets the credit he deserves.. Marvin Gaye's Chained is another of his, along with one of the most loved and recognised northern soul songs in history "Do I Love You". Also, "Love Child", "Up The Ladder to the Roof" and "All I Need" The Temptations..
Interesting. But I believe Kenny Thomas (Yennek Samoht) wrote most of the song Stoned Love and Frank Wilson produced it. Oddly enough I can’t find a single picture of the guy anywhere or much about him at all.
@@randomboyfrom2004 Motown never ends surprising folks. I was even more surprised to find out that Martin Luther King actually cut a full album at Motown that is very rarely talked about.
Beautiful Voices, Beautiful Song, Beautiful Ladies. This song is a prayer that is needed more today than ever before. Turn to Christ & receive the gift to love unconditionally, even of our enemies. Amen!
Wow ! I just watched this 6 more times and damn it my eyes are wet !! Lol watch her sing and that beautiful smile and those beautiful 2 behind her !! We were all trying to be kids with a war going on !! And all these beautiful teenagers dancing ,I'm sure there's a few young men thinking when I turn 18 will I be shipped off !! And this beautiful song is about war !! What a great time capsule song !! Sung by 3 extraordinary talented,gracious and beautiful young ladies !! Oh in about 4 years the war has been over and we are wearing the Annie Hall look and there's this new craze called disco !!
Damn this song was good, and these ladies!!!! I miss those days. I saw this episode on Soul train! I thought it was '71, but it was '73. man time flies. The 578 people who gave a thumbs down are DEAF. Thank You Supremes for this.

Your not Gary white from barrow?
Mary looks so happy and expressive here - like a weight had been lifted. And Jean, what a voice.
Mary Wilson, WOW what a woman!!
It's so sad that this kinda music is gone forever. So glad that I can remember it. Music today can't touch this.😢

They were probably told not to outshine Diana Ross. Kind of sad.

Unfortunately for The Supremes, they didn't have anyone in the group who could write or produce hits, or who could find hits for the group. Acts like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye, who could write and produce their own music, did well in the 70s. Acts that couldn't, namely Diana Ross and separately The Supremes, didn't do as well.
This song still gives me chills after 40+ years. Jean Terrell was the best choice to replace Miss Ego in the group.
Miss Ego is right.
KNOW DOUBT, Diana did have a BIG EGO.
Miss ego very good description of Diana Ross
AMEN!! Ms. Hotlegs Diana, just ask Berry Gordy!!
Yes! This song just like when Higher and Higher starts I get chills after just the first few notes because I know what song it is…
R.i.p Mary... a beautiful force to be reckoned with... her dreams became a reality. From being tough as hell, and totally believing in her and her sisters. Never forgotten dear girl, woman, diva, and so much more 🥰 a full life 💕🤗💕
Outstanding track and Jean Terrell absolutely rocks in her lead role!
I wish someone could take this song and do a beautiful video as a way to pay tribute all those people who lost their lives or were injury because they were different. When will the hate stop. The Supremes really sang this song and the message still ring true today as when it did back when it was first release to us. Right on Supremes.
...that is a good idea. This song has good social conscience.
Being 59 now I well remember all this wonderful happy and joyous music which spoke to the masses about the hope for a better life for all and many of us at the time listened and tried hard to be better people..We could sure use that same sound from today's artists now..
Amen!
I'm an old Brit now but remember listening to my older cousin's Motown Chartbusters LPs ... loved my some Motown n Philly sound ever since... now with UA-cam I can get to see the old SoulTrain originals we never got to see in the day...
Same here on all points.
My favorite thing about this video is Mary is totally enjoying it! I Love this!
She sure looks like it doesn’t she?
I worked for a week to buy this. I have brilliant memories of the best singers and dancers. Amazing xxxxx 💖💖💖💖💖💖🦊
I just have to hear the opening bars to this and I'm back to 1971. Great music, great times.
I can see Mary is happy singing this song. She was a very emotional woman, and had her ups and downs. Nobody can take away her and Flo's contribution to the Supremes.
I am thankful to have lived in the time when these great groups and songs were popular
Love the way Jean links into the audience & portrays such happiness singing this wonderful song.
Their best song, with or without Diana. And the best "Mmm-hmm" in music.
pop gun I agree. in fact by far a better singer than Diane
Absolutely Rey Cara: Jean Terrell far far better singer than Ross, and this was a stronger unit of Supremes vocally and visually that just never got promoted
After all these years , this is STILL my all - time fav' . Such a powerful/beautiful song perfectly performed by these wonderful women . I wish they could live forever , and they will , in our hearts .
“And to the man on whose shoulders the world must depend, I pray for peace and love, Amen”. So relevant today too.
Mary has a great voice God Bless her may she rest in peace
Yes, a great lady. May Mary rest in peace.
I was at a Northern Soul night recently and l just loved this song! I remember it from when l was young and just had to hear it again.
Hello Peter, I’m still listening with my son in 2022.
I hope you’re having a good time listening too
Excellent. Jean did a great job on that. Perfect.
1:17!
This is one of the best songs of the Supremes, They shine, sound so amazing! They needed a singer to complete the group like Jeane Terrell
Jean Terrell was a GREAT singer!
RIP Ms Mary Wilson you will never be forgotten.
I remember hearing this as a very little girl...my late mother loved this song : )
Sorry about your mom , how are you ?
Better by miles than Diana "the diva" Ross. What a genuine and beautiful happy singer Ms Terrell is.
This old world needs... more loves... so take a stand for love, for each other and let love be the sun who light up this old world
Mary was killing it!!!
Hadn't heard this for years....still brilliant!!
Hello Kathleen, I’ve been listening since my 20s and I hope you’re having a pleasant time listening in 2022
Wow this brings lots of memories back lol (lots of girls) x
It doesn't get any better than this. Each time I watch it, I then HAVE to play Floy Joy, Automatically Sunshine and Nathan Jones. Beautiful tunes.
HAPPY 75TH BIRTHDAY
VELMA "JEAN" TERRELL
(NOVEMBER 26, 2019)
Love this song , it still gives me goose bumps , it has to be one of the supremes best songs ever. I play this song on the juke box stil today. Love Motown.. I think nothing of walking in the bar and playing the supremes, the four tops, the temptations, the chiffons , etc great stuff. Wish I could time travel to see these groups. Glad I can see them on here.
It is arguably one of the best tracks Motown ever cut. At the peak of their power, this one is a grand slam and you'll never forget how much love is in it....
This was their best attempt at social relevance. It succeeds.
This song the ipitemy of motown.it almost makes me cry and i am 63.just love it .
+Howard Knoth me too
I can watch this over and over. Talk about class, These ladies have it all above and beyond.
Mary really feeling it here. RIP to a loved one. I’m so sad at her loss.
She Beautiful and she can sing
Mary was always a star but Barry only had eyes for no-range Diana
My all time favourite Supremes song. I absolutely love this song ❤
Why so much dislike for Miss Ross here? Saw Diana in Vegas in the 80's and it was a good show. But I do love Jean Terrels voice on this track and this is definitely one of the best Supremes songs.
Just can't keep my eyes off Mary!!
I know, right?! She's glowing. Right from the start, Girl is ON IT.
Mary is so beautiful
Love this great song by the inimitable Supremes.. For me you can keep Diana Ross. Jean Terrell, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong were the real talent. The great Frank Wilson who wrote this rarely gets the credit he deserves.. Marvin Gaye's Chained is another of his, along with one of the most loved and recognised northern soul songs in history "Do I Love You". Also, "Love Child", "Up The Ladder to the Roof" and "All I Need" The Temptations..
@@ronrossmore211 There are far too many people like you in this world
Interesting. But I believe Kenny Thomas (Yennek Samoht) wrote most of the song Stoned Love and Frank Wilson produced it. Oddly enough I can’t find a single picture of the guy anywhere or much about him at all.
This song takes me back to my childhood. Reminds me of my Aunt Ava who passed away 9/08/3018.
Rip Mary Wilson, your music will live on forever by all your fans. 🎶💝
She is beautiful, and that voice, the rhythm!!
Love,love ,love this song, great memories on holiday in Italy. 53 years ago now, I played it every night before I hit the town ❤❤❤❤
Frank Wilson working his magic once again - post Miss Ross Supremes with Jean Terrell upfront - perfection
Played this on repeat when I was in my teens. Nearly 64 now and still one of my favourites.
Been listening to this song off and on for over 40 years or more and never did it occur to me the lead singer was someone other than Diana Ross.🙄🤔🤷🏼
when i first heard it i thought it was her too
@@randomboyfrom2004 Motown never ends surprising folks. I was even more surprised to find out that Martin Luther King actually cut a full album at Motown that is very rarely talked about.
Beautiful Voices, Beautiful Song, Beautiful Ladies. This song is a prayer that is needed more today than ever before. Turn to Christ & receive the gift to love unconditionally, even of our enemies. Amen!
Played this at my Aunts funeral today. Her favourite and mine. Was a beautiful tune. X
Wow ! I just watched this 6 more times and damn it my eyes are wet !! Lol watch her sing and that beautiful smile and those beautiful 2 behind her !! We were all trying to be kids with a war going on !! And all these beautiful teenagers dancing ,I'm sure there's a few young men thinking when I turn 18 will I be shipped off !! And this beautiful song is about war !! What a great time capsule song !! Sung by 3 extraordinary talented,gracious and beautiful young ladies !! Oh in about 4 years the war has been over and we are wearing the Annie Hall look and there's this new craze called disco !!
How come Ms Jean Terrel never made it big? Absolutely fantastic voice and presence
just a great song... i never get tired of it.
Derrick Zupf me either. I’m constantly replaying it while I’m reading these comments.
Sharky🦈. One of the best supremes songs can listen all day. And the Funk Bros. Music Motown's best band ever.👍🤗🎤💓🙉🎷🎸🎺🎹🥁📀
What a classic performance captured here, huh? Wonderful.
This song is real. It brings tears to my eye's everytime I listen to it. Beautiful
Hello Joan
How are you doing today?
