- No copyright infringement intended. The Vandellas kept the Motown money rolling in with their slew of hits. I extended this with authentic Funk Brothers backing.
OMG, that drum breakdown with the echo effect in the beginning and toward the end ! Such ear candy... typical of Motown to add such creative dynamics to their music. Maybe no one agrees with me, but I have always thought that Martha Reeves in her prime was the most exciting and dynamic of the female Motown singers. Her vocal on "Heat Wave" absolutely slays. Just my opinion, but if Richard Perry had let her really tear loose on her solo album instead of watering her natural soul down with too many bland songs aimed at the broader "pop" audience, she probably could've gotten a Grammy.
Totally agree.
I AGREE🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
a agree
I totally agree with you. She was incredibly talented and that voice just makes wanna dance forever.
Love your comments, I'm trying to find a hand dancer now at 9:30 pm in a DC
Martha Reeves was untouchable ❤️
This is one song that never gets old..from the true Queens of motown..
I AGREE!
Can't forget the Marvelettes either. Love both groups more than any other female Motown groups including the Supremes.
72, I can still make the moves on this song.
Beautiful voices and Beautiful girls l was Born on 1947 and l still love this music God Bless you all
I love the old Motown.
Me too
Funk brothers kicking ass on this one . Yes sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
BB & JJ keepin' the beat.
@@chrisneilson7221 yes indeed
O YES SIR
These songs were the first noise my infant ears ever heard, on a crackly AM radio in the kitchen that my mom had on all day!
Dig the hand claps in the background.
Ingenious!!
Initially, nobody but MOTOWN was doing hand claps👏 along with the musical instruments playing in the background.
Hand claps and finger snaps in the background of some of Motown's record recordings were dope.
I want to party NOW!! LLS!!😂

I still love this today just like i did in 1963, it also has sentimental value to me. I also had the privilege to meet Rosilanf Ashford and Annette Beard on prrson and wss hangong out with them in Detroit. Thank God for that old music 🎶.
.
LOVE that lead guitar in the background.
I'm 73 and still Rocking with them, Jimmy Mack
One of the best "happy songs" from Motown.
What an amazing group of ladies , love them as much if not more than the Supremes !
Michael Duggan What Has the Supremes have to do with the Vandellas? Your mixing apples and pumpkins..Two different Groups.
Most definitely! Saw em in person "live" on stage at Brooklyn Fox Theater downtown Brooklyn NY when I was 14yrs old,...the girls had some out if sight choreography, in hi-heel shoes! They were stunning!
I saw the Vandellas all thru my teenage years at our Regal. Always preferred them over the Supremes.
I enjoyed dancing to this as a teenager and later ( when I worked at Sak's Fifth Avenue ) had the honor of helping Martha Reeves.. She presented me with an autographed photo. An item I will always treasure..
The Hecht Co.1965,18 teen year old listening to this song in Georgetown Room.
I share your Joy! Your treasured memory inspires me! ❤🙌🏽
@@Gr8LilLady Bless you "Mrs. Jones"...
@@1953childstar Thank you Richard. He Blesses me daily. I pray the same for you and yours. Happy New Year 2022! ✌❤
The original version was released on Nov. 4, 1963, and hit the Billboard Top 100 on Sat. Nov. 23. It peaked later at #8, becoming another Top 10 smash for Martha & The Vandellas.
My favorite 😍❤️ song by the vandellas!!!
I was 2 years old when this came out. I loved it then and still to date.
It seems that Holland-Dozier-Holland and The Funk Brothers let Martha and The Vandellas swing...they rock harder on their songs than any other female Motown group they wrote and played for! Love the "shuffle" 4/4 beat on this song...go, Benny Benjamin!
Richard "Pistol" Allen played the shuffle here. Not Benny Benjamin. Heatwave too. He was their shuffle man.
There are conflicting reports as to whether it's Benny Benjamin or Richard "Pistol" Allen playing the drums on this track. Wikipedia says it's Benny, but Pistol claimed to have been the drummer on here. Martha Reeves has also stated in various interviews that Pistol was the drummer, while also mentioning Earl Van Dyke on piano, Robert White and Eddie Willis on guitar, James Jamerson on bass, Jack Ashford on tambourine, and Mike Terry on baritone sax. If Pistol said that he was the drummer (not to mention Martha Reeves also stating that in various interviews), then it was Pistol (not Benny) on the drums. Moreover, *these* people were *there*, whoever wrote the song's Wikipedia article was/were *not* there, plus it *sounds* like Pistol's drumming, and he was also the drummer on another Martha Reeves/Vandellas hit, "Heatwave", as well as The Supremes "Baby Love" and Marvin Gaye "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)". Regards.
Bests , song , of all times to me.
This is so uplifting. It touches the soul.
Fantastic!
It sure does! 💚💜💛🧡💗❤💙🤍🤎💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Pure magic. Outstanding extended version.
They sounds better than Doana and the supreme
@@durondadavis9349 it’s Diana and the Supremes
Summer 63', 8 years old, riding my bike to swim practice with Martha Reeves and the Vandellas swimming in my head. Like the song says "I feel nothing but happiness".
Instruments, Melody ,voices awesome🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
Rick hi I'm matt, and I've played music most my life. I listen to and play very different types of music. In a few bands I've played in have been punk rock. Now there's a tenant in the philosophy of punk rock (for some not all) that part of being with it, being hip or cool was that you dont care. You dont care bout anything and that's cool. Except not to me. I like any and all genre of music but the 1 rule to me is what you wrote, thank you. Have (at least decent) instrument playing , write a decent melody and lyrics, and sing well and clear. It's amazing how so much music doesn't do this or handle this and many bands/musicians can't handle this. They write songs with lil to no clear or strong melody. Who'd wanna listen to that? Or sing so poorly or play so poorly. These are the basics and you'd think everyone could know or identify with them right? Anyway your comment was quick and simple but I liked it as I thought it was perfect. Cheers bro !
My only problem with alot of 60's soul songs is that they were never long enough... your having fun bopping away and all of a sudden it's over! Love your remix !!!!
Songs were all short back then. The songs had to fit on a 45 single.
In the later '60s some songs were self-consciously very long 8 or 23 minutes, "Prog rock" & all. Soul still rules.
Play this every Saturday night at our regular get-together… and never fails to get everyone's ass out on the dance floor! Excellent!
Repeats the EXACT passages and rhythm line we want to hear repeated over and over…
SANG MARTHA!!! Thank you Funk Brothers! Y'all did the Damn thang!!! ❤🔊🎤🎼🎵🎶🎷🎸🥁🎹
This extended version really COOKS, Have always loved these girls, and now there is more. 3:05-3:15 is my new ring tone.
Quicksand has always been my favorite song by M & the V. First time I've heard the extended version,it sounds AWESOME!
My favorite by them is "In My Lonely Room's and "Quicksand" !!!!! Still have 45rpm's 😯
@@loutrrelledwards2341 👍
Holy crap!!! Where in the hell were you guys hiding this version!! This definitely gets the rusty hips going!! Very nice 👍
This was a "great party song" BACK IN THE DAY .....I know about old/rusty hips but I'm dancing in my chair :)
I Like That!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!
Such talent back than
This music takes me back when I was growing up in Sharon hill.My sisters used to listen to these cuts all the time.Sometimes I cry good tears because they are not here anymore.miss them both but when I play these cuts,there are there with me
This is so hot! These ladies were BAD! Love me some Rosalind Ashford, could always hear her falsetto...amazing!
I would have NEVER thought this song could be improved upon until I heard this mix. Definitely makes you want to get up and dance. Awesome, AWESOME job!
Charlie B...thanks so much!!!
YOU are a GENIUS. THESE TRACKS take me back to when I was just a wee lad....probably 7 or 8 and my older cousins had ALL the Motown 45's lining the walls of an upstairs bedroom. I usually couldn't WAIT to get up those stairs and let the music start. I FREAKIN' LOVED IT!!! AND I LOVE IT MORE NOW. THANK YOU...THANK YOU a ZILLION TIMES "MOSOGOTAM"!!!
How I love this song, and the only thing that could ever have made it better was to make it longer, and you have done that for us. Thank you so much. It is just terrific!
Sept.2: Happy birthday Ms. Rosalind Ashford of Martha Reeves and The Vandellas. Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the post. Blessings
The greatest music ,ever recorded was in the sixties,a time of INNOCENT.
Wow are you wrong. No innocence at all.
@@srercrcr , once in history there was a time of innocence, but this was possibly in the beginning of time: Mankind is truly corrupt.
@@srercrcr Those of us who were teenagers when this great music came out were innocent!
@@piggee100 How does this fit your theory? Ever since the automobile was invented around 1900 teens had found a way to sneak away and be naughty. I guess you missed out.
@@srercrcr I did miss out. My parents didn't have a car when I was growing up in Portland, OR. But I was an innocent teenager in the 60's & MOTOWN was the music I grew up with & loved in the '60's!
Magnificent Masterpiece Trully Designed To Devastate Your Soul
LOVE THAT OPERATIC " OOH OOH OOH OOH."
my favorite part too!!! AND the breakdown with just the drums and handclaps! MOTOWN MAGIC!!!
loveyouall66 ..oh yess!!!!!!!
oh doncha know it!
loveyouall66 I agree
Remember. as a kid growing up in Washington DC. Man it was great.
my favorite girl group of the 60's. .even over the Supremes!..Heatwave&Come and get your memories are 2 of my faves.
Thank You!!
Martha was infinitely superior to squeaky Ross.
I couldn't have said it better, sir! Diana "Right through her nose" Ross makes me sick. Flo Ballard should've been lead singer of The Supremes, but Diana was giving it up to Berry Gordy, so...don't get me started.
totally agree, Martha ruled!
-Exactly, we said the same thing, it should've been Flo leading the Supremes. Hell she started the group. R.i.p. Flo.
I love Martha and her Vandellas more than the Supremes, although they had some good songs. But M&tV had hits that were just as exciting and culturally leading where the people were thinking in pop music.
Can't stop replaying this one - I could listen to that riff @ 0:58 all day long. One of your best works - thanks!
Finally well enough to enjoy this high energy! Sending love to my body with the music and words.,. love you.. deeper in love with you.. thank you God for healing me
This is an awesome remix. Love Motown & those Funk Brothers!! You bring out the best of both.
This extended version of Martha & the Vandellas "Quicksand" has quickened the beating of my heart. John, you've done it again!

John, once again fantastic!
I closed my eyes and I was seeing them sing _ along with The Funk Bros playing....Thank you
Great song to dance to! Loved it❤
Heatwave was always my favorite until I heard Quicksand. If you ain't tappin' your feet.......you're dead
I know right lol
Yes what she said you like quicksand
Same here..Quicksand edges out with that arrangement to die for...i could put this on loop 4ever
You got that right! Love is like quicksand! Love heatwave but this is the better song
I'm with you on that "Quicksand" was my favorite back in that day And finally WOW came "Nowhere To Run"
I love it the instruments and her voice. I heard it on WTMP radio station.
I repeat: I LOVE THIS MIX!
How can anyone ever get enough of this stuff???
Face it folks this IS as close to heaven as your gonna get on earth.
Would like to say thanks to mosogotam for posting this great version of this song which brings back so many great memories.

THIS IS MY JAM ..I LOVE MARTHA
We all love martha !
Greatest Motown Music this song is fantastic nothing like this is done today!
best skating song ever
Used to roller skate to this in the sixties!!
I think Bob Dylan shared something about singing on the the liner notes Hwy66
about breathing--these girls were living and breathing at the top of their lungs
I love the background instruments. I never noticed them before since I always concentrated on the voices. Great Job!
Yes! Brilliant work...you do a great job mosogotam. This trio had the right sound and the right rythmn. Things this brilliant do not happen that often, but your posting helps preserve it.
Ramoncito...thank you very much!
Look at these classy, beautiful and sexy black girls with soulful voices! ❤️🔥💔
Dressed conservatively and they still radiate femininity! A time long gone! 😘
THESE DAYS IS GONE !!!!!!!!! I WAS 6YRS OLD MY SISTERS HAD THIS SONG WHOLE ALBUM!!!!
Thanks for sharing the extended version of this song. I love it, I get a little more time to do the jitter. Great music
Mosogotum handles these songs so well. It almost seems like Moso
created the songs 🎵 songs. The
extension are lovely...lovely to listen to . I'm glad Moso took a
likeing to Motowm. I hear things
in a different way with this work!
Does any one else have this talent?🎉

Great version of this great song!
Classic GOODNESS! One of the best to come out of Motown. This very good extended version makes what was already terrific even more fantastic; if that's possible. Very nice work and a great post mosogotam.
I am getting old. Extended version of Quicksand. I dunno. Great job ! Thank You.
Hey man anyone who loves this music is gittin old. But we both are still kicking it so there's that! Matter of fact , today's the 5 yrs anniversary of having a massive heart attack and dying. Had zero vital signs. No breathing, no heartbeat, I was dead as much as anyone can be dead and still regain life and being conscious. I was lucky because I was at the gym and working out right next to me was a nurse and a cop. The cop basically saved my life. The type heart attack I had (not making it up either) is called "the widow maker"! Dr said "ehh another 60 seconds in your state and you wouldn't of come back" . Said I was lucky I wasn't shoveling snow or doing activities you do alone. Anyway, yeah were gettin old but we still alivin! Here's to life ! Cheers brother, keep diggin them groovey groovey tunes bro.
there were several outstanding groups and individuals under the Motown label- Martha and the Vandellas were high octane dance songs - they were my favorite of that era.
Wow, this is awesome!
Loved this era when music made you feel sooo good.
I listened to this stuff (and others) as a kid growing up and later. When I was in high school and my peers were listening to Tom petty and Leonard skynyrd I was listening to this. I mean that stuff is ok but to compare it to motown is laughable. Who wins on rythm? Who wins on melody? Who wins on harmony and just general musical ability? Gimme a break! But I guess every generation has music they thinks best. But I listened to it all and to me I never went with the crowd and liked southern rock and Bob Dylan and all other stuff nearly as much as motown or sun records.
This is awesome. Quicksand is my favorite Martha and the Vandellas record and this one really rocks.
Love this!! Thanks for extending and posting!
Chuck...thanks so very much!
These ladies did some real gems, Northern Soul at it's best.
This version...Happily pulling me closer...longer!
Wonderful version of a terrific song..What has happened in America? Where are all the great girl groups and guy groups i grew up with in the 60s and 70s..Thank God for you-tube and serius XM ..
Motown at its best !! What a fantastic beat this song had. Those were the days when Detroit rocked, How sad to see what became of that great city today. Every year I go to the Dual in Detroit races and feel so sad when I visit the Hitsville museum. It's a shame.
Killer song. Never get tired of it .
