    Memories that can nvr be erased. I met my future husband at a High School " sock hop " in 1969. I went home and told my parents I met the man I was going to marry..they just laughed. Six months later I married that man. We are still married. Thank you Marvin Gaye, thank you to the Originals for a song that crushed our hearts and gave a life time of memories. Fifty five years and still learning, loving and growing.

      That’s true. I don’t know why Berry Gordy was like that. I’ll never forget seeing a Eddie Kendricks interview, it was given probably about 5 yrs before his passing; was asked about Gordy, and he stated that he never really knew the man, and he rarely spoke to the guy.

    My goodness they was still sounding great after all these years. I’m telling you, growing up in the 70’s we heard so much great music. With so many great songwriters really writing meaningful songs. And all the artists could really sing. No auto tone or computer gimmicks. Just real talent. What a great live performance.

      The young lady (Jackie Hicks) was one of The Andantes, another back-up group for Motown. The group sang background vocals on numerous Motown recordings, including songs by Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, Jimmy Ruffin, Edwin Starr, the Supremes, the Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye and the Isley Brothers, among others. It is estimated they appeared on 20,000 recordings.

      @@hossridr1 What?? Jackie Hicks? The photos of The Andantes show Jackie Hicks to be dark skinned and kind of heavyset, and she would be WAY older than the young lady in this performance. This is Terrie Dixon, Hank Dixon's daughter. They re-established The Originals in the mid 2000s.
