@@jpalvima Some of the best hits came out of Mtown. I had the pleasure of visiting Motown and you couldn't tell me anything,...walking where some of my favorite artists walked!
You are, ergo, a fan of "Rock `n` Motown." This is not a competition - congratulations. Sincerely meant and not to belittle. The more music we like the sweeter life becomes.
When my father left me and my siblings in the 70s for a change in life and woman he became our Nathan Jones, when I recently heard this song playing it was like hearing my mother crying for him to come back to our home we just had built, he never did.😢 this song makes cry, but I Love playing it over and over. Because at that time there was a chance he might come back.
May 1971. Backyard cookout at my Grandparents house. My uncle just got back from a tour of duty in 'Nam. This song was rocked over, and over again the party went well into the night. 49 years ago, damn...good times!
Love this song. Love the piano and the congas. I love the voices of Jean Terrell, Cindy Birdsong, and of course Mary Wilson. This was a great combo of voices.
Nathan Jones by the Supremes blew me away when I first heard it, mostly because of the 'flanging' sound effect used. Thank you mosogotam for extending the flanging part towards the end !!
...i was extremely moved the 1st time i heard this...the flanging ...was so modern...it made everything else they had done seem so distant.....it was now......truly the 70s...and looking back...was...not to be desired....
Bought this single on release back in 1971,l was seventeen.Played it to death,and l still have it!,one of the greatest singles ever.Thought Cindy Birdsong was beautiful, still do!
This song touches such depth for all those that have experienced abandonment from a partner… much love for this song and its singers, these women seriously rock!❤️
There is so much in the Supremes supreme version of 'Nathan Jones' that those driven to sterile tidiness would say was just 'wrong' - in the chorus, strange, off-beat timings and fragmentary phrasings, different parts with contradicting emphases and implications - that you can never settle on a simple hearing of it, but exactly that hypnotic elusiveness is a big reason why I've loved this song dearly for about half a century.
...i remember when this 1st came out...the sound...of the sky ripping apart in this...just was so ...somber...it was a new chapter for me...i think i was 11...or 12..nothing was the same in music for me...or them...it was such a beautiful dark song for them...i was blessed to photograph MARY...kiss her hand...look upon her face.....i gave her a photograph i shot of a calla lily....she did a concert here in San Francisco...she was so beautiful..and now...she is gone...i will always love all of the group...but my favorite...was Mary...she was so beautiful....
....completely....i cannot tell you how moved i was when i 1st heard it...i was ...11...and even through the changes...the Supremes led the way in pop music...their legacy remained intact....
The photo at 03:40, is my all time favorite "Supremes" photo. They looked so beautiful and so unapolgetically black, that I fell in love with this pic way back when was a 14 year old in the early 70's.
Driving around the other day heard this song on"70's on 7" couldn't remember the last time I heard it but what a fantastic tune! Reminded me of Top-40 AM radio(77WABC in NY)and how it was so different than radio today...miss those days.
Love this extented version, loved the Supremes. I stayed with Mary Wilson after Diana Ross left. I liked Ross' songs, and I liked Wilsons endurance. The Supremes of the 70s poured out beautiful sounds. I didn't wait for Barry Gordy's okay, I bought their albums when they came out. This song had a personal message for me. My father put me out of the car onto the pavment when I was 3. I never saw him again. Fortunetly my moms husband was good to me. I felt the same way as the song, my father had been gone too long. I had a new Daddy at age 4, I asked to call him Daddy, and he said yes. I never looked back. Love this extented version🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑
@@wonderboyjoy .....oh we still loved them.. ...the original lineup made money ...history...and legacy for Berry...and he chose not to continue it...in favor of the woman he fell in love with...he could have easily had both....that was a sure bet.....he and they had already put in the work........but he chose ...one...sad...but true....
Hard to believe this song is 50 years old this year...it has held up BETTER than well. RIP Mary Wilson, my all-time favorite Supreme. Question for anyone reading this. Am I alone, or was their music actually better post Diana Ross? Taking nothing away from her solo career.
This song really gets to me its the first time I have ever listened or ever knew this song existed. My almost 19 year old son holds this name have not seen him since he was 10. He was 16 the last time I ever spoke to him. He chose his father years ago to live with. His father has passed on so he went to live with his dads parents. They hate me so much. They are also Jehovah's witnesses and he is not allowed to have contact with me because Im Wiccan so Im evil. Long drawn out story that breaks my heart so this song really gets to my heart. My Nathan Jones has been gone to long.
Mombie Jones ...Well, JW’s are a cult too, same as Wiccan. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if both parties in the wrong, just came to Christ and forgave each other as Christ did for all mankind ? It would be like in Algebra where two negatives make a positive... I’m sure your son thinks of you often. I am going to pray for a miracle in the lives of all of you.
I loved the song so much I name my baby Nathan Jones he died at only 7 months old it broke my heart so for 40 years I listen to this song crying my hope is to see Nathan in heaven
With that snazzy opening, I’d honestly call this a Pop song; one of the good ones, heck, one of the great ones! I can see this wonderful, melodic, song crossing into country or R & B too. It’s just one those timeless, unclassifiable songs... My hat is off and a bow of respect to the song writers.
One of my favs. Mosogotam, I know you’re not gonna see this post but I wanna thank you for creating this extended version. R.I.P. you will never be forgotten. 🙏🏾🤎
Rest in peace Ronnie and Sandy from Pasadena California. Y'all were fan's too. Y'all had everything Ross and Supremes 💕 Supremes solo just lovely! I think my voice been foun💝
This sounds just great. Man, Motown could put a production together. This with Martha and the Vandelas "Nowhere to run" are 2 of my favourite Motown but there's a load of great stuff from that era.
One of my top five Supremes singles OAT. It's perfectly of it's moment and still sounds hip AF, and Jean shines here! Guitar and phasing are perfection!
Diana Ross didn't always sing with the two Supremes, she used many different back up girls. Diana got one salary. The Supremes, whoever they were at the time, were paid a lower amount.
Its a mind blowing experience to listen to that song. I have it. I want to hear more like that on the radio. Its a pick me up type of psychedelic song.
Fenderman 73 I always wondered what that sound effect was called, thank you for clarifying. I remember hearing it in other songs from that time. I called it "phasing" , I have no idea why LOL
I personally loved this lineup the best with Jean, Mary and Cindy. Frank Wilson producing them. They had so much harmony and Cindy & Mary seemed more happy connection with Jean. I just wished they stay together longer and had more support from Radio & Motown!
Who’s still listening to this 2024? I love this song 🎶❤️
Fabulous and still listening in 2024. I love it.
Well, me of course.
Yes for sure
I was 13 years old in 1971 when I bought this song on a 45. It's still a great song!
One of my favorite Supreme songs…..the memories
I'm a rock fan ACDC led Zeppelin jimi hendrix etc, but their is something about motown, that is very addictive, fantastic music.
Say it again!!
I’ve listened to the same rock bands since I was a teenager but I ALWAYS go back to Motown.😊❤
Got the same thing here….70s hard rock, LZ etc but Motown/Stax stuff is soooooo catchy that I always return to it

Very touching story. I am sorry for your tears .... it musta be rough for you & very disappointing ... Xo to your Mom !! 💞
I am so very you had to go through that. It musta been hard on you. Very touching story. Thx for sharing .... Hope it made you stronger !!
Should have been a Top 5 on Billboard.
Psychedelic Motown, I love that fazing sound.
May 1971. Backyard cookout at my Grandparents house. My uncle just got back from a tour of duty in 'Nam. This song was rocked over, and over again the party went well into the night. 49 years ago, damn...good times!

End of my of my Army tour of duty and heading back to the States in 1971. Song will always touch my heart.
Oh my gosh, I loved this as a kid back in 1971 but, hearing it now in it's extended version just sends me to heaven.
have you returned from heaven yet - sad to say we lost Mary during that time - did u see her up there?
Wonderful extended version of a great Supremes' song...! RIP, to the beautiful Mary Wilson.
Mary was a real trooper - so sad gone too soon, she singlehandedly kept aliver the memory and mystique of the Supremes
I wore this 45 out! Definitely one of my favorites in the 70’s!! Classic song!!
I did too
and cant satisy n you been cheating curtis as side🇬🇧🇬🇧❤🥀🇮🇪🇯🇲
Me too!
Believe it!!! SUPREMES although without DIANA , still have made masterpieces , like this one!!!!!
disna ross not in the same league drunk🤮🤣🤣🇬🇧🇬🇧🥀🇯🇲🇮🇪❤
@@annlonsdale9396 I 'm very polite to answer you in the same way!!!!
But Berry Gordy screwed them over

Just a fantastic groove on this record... the arrangement, the vocals, the production... awesome
This is so damn CURRENT!!, I love this track and The Supremes especially Miss Wilson are so naturally beautiful!!!!
One of the Supremes greatest songs❤
❤️Mary❤️
50 years and still love it

YESSSSS!!!! Guitar and congas intro.....COME ON WITH IT!!! A fave of the Jean Terrell years....
1971 may i was 16 years old i remember this song i hearded on okahoma city KOMA radio i was traveling to Fort morgan colo.
John, you were one hell of an artist. You took songs that we loved and made us love them all over again, RIP.
This song touches such depth for all those that have experienced abandonment from a partner… much love for this song and its singers, these women seriously rock!❤️
Oh Lisa yes!! Love from Lisa x
I love this track. The melodic, psychedelic features give it so much power. ❤️

I wonder if that was done with editing in studio ?
...i remember when this 1st came out...the sound...of the sky ripping apart in this...just was so ...somber...it was a new chapter for me...i think i was 11...or 12..nothing was the same in music for me...or them...it was such a beautiful dark song for them...i was blessed to photograph MARY...kiss her hand...look upon her face.....i gave her a photograph i shot of a calla lily....she did a concert here in San Francisco...she was so beautiful..and now...she is gone...i will always love all of the group...but my favorite...was Mary...she was so beautiful....
U er talking a little too deep,I don't think the majority of us know what fragmentary phrasing is all I know is the song sound frigin good
Brilliant comment and I feel the same after 52 years!
What a fantastic, well-written song!!!
Headphones on and enjoying this extended version of a great seventies Supremes song. One of their very best ever ...
Wonderful in every way, as long as people have a soul they will play this track
Rest In Peace, Beloved Mary!
I wish fate and history would have treated Mary the way she deserved! She was so talented!
@@tedpittsinger9688 aqqqqA aww àa as
Love!!! One of my favorite Supremes songs.
You bet!
Wow! Put on the headphones and enjoy
rsands....thanks!!!
rsands9 That’s just what I’m doing! 🎧🤩😍😎.MY GIRLS!,
I did
Way ahead of you, and crank up the volume. Came out the year I started work.
Man, you're SOOO right, sounds like a different record, Incredible!!Thank you!!
One of the revised Supremes' great hits. A very good song sang by very artist will endure forever. A great composition.
The Supremes greatest record-ever. A masterpiece.
I totally agree!!
Frank Wilson pulled out all the stops on this classic and Mosogotam has made it even better. Thanks for the ride!
This Gem has a very interesting sound, along with the Ladies co leading on the vocals. My favorite song!
What a fascinating mix. Even better with headphones.
This is pure magic
absolutely
Gotta' get up and dance to this one . . . one of my favs!!!
westinva my thoughts exactly I just might have to!!!!!!!🕺
Love how they use the phaser effect in this song. Out of this world. That really sets it apart from the rest of the Supremes' catalogue....:)
....completely....i cannot tell you how moved i was when i 1st heard it...i was ...11...and even through the changes...the Supremes led the way in pop music...their legacy remained intact....
I was in Kindergarten when this was released! I remember singing this with my cousins in the backyard! We thought we were The Supremes!😄🎶
Got the record of this. Brilliant music. Remember dancing to it.
The photo at 03:40, is my all time favorite "Supremes" photo. They looked so beautiful and so unapolgetically black, that I fell in love with this pic way back when was a 14 year old in the early 70's.
Love this song!!
Well put together tune, I can't keep still when I listen to this...Love it.
LOVE the numerous phasing effects in this track. So cool!
It may be the extended version but it's still not long enough.
wow.. I was playing music in the var when my grandpapa asked me to turn this on, the lyrics are really something🤭😍
Driving around the other day heard this song on"70's on 7" couldn't remember the last time I heard it but what a fantastic tune! Reminded me of Top-40 AM radio(77WABC in NY)and how it was so different than radio today...miss those days.
Ron Lundy, Bruce Morrow, (Cousin Brucie), WABC NYC...I remember it well! PS 22. Grand Concourse Bronx NY. 140 E 150th St.
Me too!
Rocked me
Words can't describe these wonderful ladies and there music so so much better than the rubbish out there now
Motown's not normally 'my thing', but 'normal' or 'extended' version', you can't help but love this!
MOTOWN hooks you and reels you in...
RIP Mary Wilson.
@@ronaldlane1597 Great singer sadly underrated RIP Mary.
I was in hospital when I first heard this 1971 .I was 14 .
Clacton on Sea 1971 with my bestus Sally, skipping in the sea and laughing like mad. Happy days. 💖

A masterpiece ❤️ 🇧🇷
this is the kind of sound the 70s Supremes needed...such a shame that they were totally ignored and passed over by the folks over at Motown
Totally agreed!🕵😣👺
No, they had top notch producers and writers. They were not passed over. The public had moved on.
You can thank Barry Gordy for moving to the West Coast because he thought he was a motion picture producer and also Diana for going solo.
@@wonderboyjoy .....oh we still loved them.. ...the original lineup made money ...history...and legacy for Berry...and he chose not to continue it...in favor of the woman he fell in love with...he could have easily had both....that was a sure bet.....he and they had already put in the work........but he chose ...one...sad...but true....
This was, and still is a great record, the 'phasing' just adds that little bit extra too!
50 yrs on, & still when I hear this amazing tune 💞, 1971 when I was in my prime dancing to some of the best music on the Planet > MOTOWN 💖
Hard to believe this song is 50 years old this year...it has held up BETTER than well. RIP Mary Wilson, my all-time favorite Supreme. Question for anyone reading this. Am I alone, or was their music actually better post Diana Ross? Taking nothing away from her solo career.
Right on!!
Just as good and in some are WAAAYYYYY BETTER! No way Dianna could ever have done this better.

He will find you trust and believe. Keep the faith.

Love the production❗💖and that bass. 💢🎼Would have loved to be in the studio 🎵🎙💥The 'simplicity' that was Motown❣
51 years later and it still sounds good

Powerful delivery of this song. Great harmony structure.
Love song so much named my son Nathan Jones

Finally Supremes not adulterated by Diana. The others got a chance to shine.
Those were the days 👌😙
Great Song! Wonderfull Effects! Not over the Top!

Classic example of Tape Flanging by engineer Russ Terrana.
Fenderman 73 I always wondered what that sound effect was called, thank you for clarifying. I remember hearing it in other songs from that time. I called it "phasing" , I have no idea why LOL
What the heck is "tape flanging".?
Is that the kund of psychedelic echo sound?
Sounds so nice, had to do it twice! … #8 R&B #16 Pop … nice interviews last night … Great Job!!!
Thank you, Pam!! Glad you enjoyed the show...those ladies are so fun!!
Nathan Jones please come home
I am a bi g fan of the Supremes sans Diane Ross. This version of the song was fantastic as well as the pictures. Thanks for posting
Please visit us on The Seventies Supremes face book page for rare LIVE clips/interviews/pics! Enjoy! Los (Admin)
This WASNT diana ross... the brilliant Jean Terell...
They were much funkier without her for sure.
Rest in Paradise Ms. Mary Wilson.
WAW!! we all need this kinda music to keep us happy. 🎵♥🎹🎶🎈💙♥🎵 Thanx for sharing 😁
You're very welcome, Lesley!!
The Supremes, still better with out diana ross, I love this song, I played the album, until I couldn't listen to it any longer.💕💕💕💕💕
I personally loved this lineup the best with Jean, Mary and Cindy. Frank Wilson producing them. They had so much harmony and Cindy & Mary seemed more happy connection with Jean. I just wished they stay together longer and had more support from Radio & Motown!
