I once asked the question in some comments "what would the world be without us" I got more hate than anything.😝 I understood it though. Probably was more envy than anything 🙏🏾✌🏾 peace and blessings!🤓
@@sweetblaqcoffey962 🤓👍🏾 I'm sorry. I was distracted watching this country self destruct. I told a racist years ago that until they do right by us and the 1st nation people of this country they will have no peace. Look at them now 🤔
Gold. Born in 1962, grateful for the music of our youth. The music doesn’t age (like we do!), and the memories flood back. Where U were, who U were with, the power of hope, of the future. Life does administer lessons, set backs, challenges to all of us. Hang in there. Bless you all.
im hearring its ashame by the spinners the Extended version its one of the greatest hits ever made .TheDeep soul full sounds are so orchistraded from the heart that its a sham that more people dont hear and recognize a true art that is passing in the windows of time its a shame
That was The Greatest Bassist on Earth, The Late James Jamerson of Motown's " The Funk Brothers " Jazz Musicians that The Great Berry Gordy assembled to do all of his artist's music.
You must talking about be great Nate Watts....He's been Stevie's bassist forever. I love "Do I Do", but the masterpiece for Nate is "I Wish". He is amazing!!! But the crown for bass has to go to Jamerson. He really was The Motown Sound.
@michaelconner1771 I'm just here to say YES YES YES!!! To That song "Bernadette " Extended Version. PHENOMENAL Track as well. And that End Part, Whew! Blessings. 😅❤
We as a people Have the most riches history in music,dance,fashion and art form..Our music takes you there and cradles you like a baby....Oh...None can compare..Soul..
Regina Craig I'm tellin you I played this in the jukebox I don't know how many times.......I love this song 💛 right from the start that guitar throughout makes the whole song. 💛
Probably one of the 3 greatest Motown songs of all time-no question! Thanks Stevie. Another gem! Thanks GC for amazing vocals and thanks Spinners for amazing backing vocals. And those horns, that bass and sitar. Incredible! Hard to believe this is 53 years old. Can’t see any of todays rubbishy efforts being played in 53 years time-can you?
I was 11 in 1970, this was one of the greatest songs that year. Pretty sure that is Dennis Coffey and Robert white on guitars. The electric sitar being the lead instrument. And of course, the incredible mr Jameson on bass. The mix is super and the vocals knock it out of the park.
Yacky Snacky OMG This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree? I will always cherish this awesome classic real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN! !
His falsetto is OMG! I listen to this song growing up and always wanted my parents to rewind that part when he sings falsetto "Why do you use you me, try to confuse how can you stand to be so cruel, why don't you free me from this prison as I served my time as your fool" Yessss honey!
I sing this whenever I can in performance, definitely a signature song for me. On my best day, I can nail most of the falsetto. At 61 though, it's a little tougher but I still got it. Extremely blessed to still be in the 🎯 game.
Even though the Spinners had more success with Atlantic and Thom Bell, this has always been my fave. "Shame" rocks! Motown's guitarists never got the credit they should have for laying down such licks. Also, some of the greatest long versions - monumental in a couple cases - came out of Motown. Particularly "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and the plaintively magnificent "Papa Was A Rolling Stone". This version of "It's A Shame" goes right up there. Terrific work. Putting this in my file NOW.
This is the one for me! Hell to the naw. Cracked up at the opening and smiled and grooved in my chair for the duration of the songs. So glad that one of my all time favorite songs got the extended treatment. That guitar riff in this song makes it impossible not to move when you listen to it! Dude singing all the leads lol, had crazy range and vocal chops. Props to Stevie Wonder for writing this for The Spinners. Damn, wish I could buy this!!
WHO EVER MADE THIS REMIX OF IT'S A SHAME. HAS A GREAT BEAT AND I LISTEN TO IT OFTEN. DANCING ALL AROUND MY APARTMENT. AND CAN NOT GET ENOUGHT OF THIS SONG I LOVE IT....
This is a great example of Stevie Wonder's writing skills! I loved this song from the beginning, but after learning that he wrote it, being a singer/songwriter myself, I appreciated it that much more.
aaronrbrundidge, same here! This has always been my favorite Spinners song and before and after I discovered Stevie Wonder wrote. The Spinners I believe are so underrated.
The first time i heard this song was in 1975, i was only 12 years old. I still listen to it all the time. In my opinion, this is the greatest song the Spinners ever did. I love this extended version ~ :)
Wow, what a beautiful song. One of my all time favorites by The Spinners. So much great music from the 70’s. So glad I grew up in that era. There will never be another like it.
AND THE FUNK BROTHER'S WERE MAGNIFICENT MUSICIANS... MUSIC DOES MAKE OR BREAK A SONG!! THEY ARE SOME BADASSSSS MUSICIANS!!! YES!!! BABY!!! YEEES! MOWTOWN WOULDN'T EVEN BE ON THE MAP IF IT WERE NOT FOR THESE TALENTED MUSICIANS... ALL IN GOD'S MAGNIFICENT PLAN!!!
This beautiful song is a masterpiece, and I love this extended version. The Spinner's definitely bring joy to your heart. To watch them perform, a real treat. The choreography is always precise. They are great talents, and old school icons, hopefully, the 2020 generations will show them love and support.
At 3:44 You can hear those dirty bass strings that James never changed.He was the total package. Melody/ Funk/ Timing. He stays funky through the melodic arrangement. Nuts
This song has always been a cool showcase for the great Funk Bros. Now, I really get to hear them in this edit. James Jameson never sounded better. Wow...great job!
This was the last song they recorded before leaving Motown. They finally hit the Big Time at Atlantic working with Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff as part of The Philly Soul Sound.
I had no idea that Thom Bell worked with them. Then he along with Linda Creed (RIP) Co Wrote The Stylistics Songs. They were such a major influence. "You Are Everything" was the Love Anthem For Kevin Arnold & Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years and in 2001 it was featured in The Finale of the very First Pop Idol Show in The UK that declared a Winner. Gareth Gates (The Runner Up) sang it with Rachel Stevens formerly of S Club 7. Russell Tompkins Falsetto was a major influence on Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees and Jordan Knight of New Kids On The Block.
South Bronx NYC major jam for all of us. Dancing and singing on the benches at the big park in Millbrook projects. Then waiting for Archie Bell and the Drells, Tighten Up!
This extended version kills me, the way he extends the vocal track and then bringing the guitar in slowly and then highlighting the bass lines, damn, I'm in love (with the song)
OMG I agree with you all the way on those comments TRUE DAT! This beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree? MEMORIES WOW How about January 08 2019
Dam good band very good vocals, and the lyrics are pure poetry, one of the finer songs of my Day, As A Musician for over 50+ years you know Eye have played it and still play that fantastic Song Peace
Wow, what a terrific job! Great version of this song, I love it, will probably listen to it a thousand times more. G.C.Cameron's wail in this is historic, and you've done him justice right here.
What a wonderful arrangement. I thank you so much for sharing this. Marvelous lyrics, tremendous orchestration and what a fabulous job you did on this presentation.
I'm not usually a fan of messing with the original recording, but hats off to "mosogotam" for this magnificent job, as far as I'm concerned you could extend this classic for an hour and you'd never hear me complain.

I'm still pretty pissed The Mighty, Mighty Spinners are not in the R&R Hall of Fame yet. This stone-cold jam might become my new "Walk-In" music. I was literally stunned by the Jaw-Dropping bass playing by none other than the legend, the one and only Mr. James Jamerson. His bass playing just jumps off the record and is so funky, you need to open a window and let some fresh air in. His thick, fat bass tone and virtuoso playing simply dares you to not get up and move your hips. Hear him play one time and you will immediately recognize his sound on other great Motown hits. How he did all this with one finger continues to boggle my mind to this day. RIP James Jamerson. (The GOAT🐐)
I did some research and just came to the realization that G.C. Cameron sang lead on the original version. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. You're never too old to learn something new. Thanks for sharing this extended version---took my breath away!!!
Great version!! Love the acapella vocals at the beginning!! And you hear the background harmony in detail without the lead vocal. Fabulous. One of my favorite tunes of The Spinners. Thank you for this version. Never heard it before.
I'm 57 and grew up with this song. I've enjoyed most all the original versions of my childhood music best but this would qualify as that rare exception. I can only echo the many comments already posted, this is truly a listening pleasure. Thanks

What the hell happened to all our beautiful music of the 60"70"80". it definitely a SHAME!

Yesss. 👏🏿👍🏿🤗
Truuuuuuuthhhh!!!😂😂😂
BROTHER, WE SOUL PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO CLASS MUSIC.......
That bassline is unreal!
THE BASELINE IS THE BIZZNIZZ!
I think its James Jameson playing Bass - even McCartney reckons he was the greatest Bass player of all time ////
What about that stout brother on Stevie's "Do I DO"?
That was The Greatest Bassist on Earth, The Late James Jamerson of Motown's " The Funk Brothers " Jazz Musicians that The Great Berry Gordy assembled to do all of his artist's music.
You must talking about be great Nate Watts....He's been Stevie's bassist forever. I love "Do I Do", but the masterpiece for Nate is "I Wish". He is amazing!!! But the crown for bass has to go to Jamerson. He really was The Motown Sound.
One of the best songs EVER
Motown was just bad ass there will never be anything like it again in our lifetime
The great James Jameson once again, killing dat bass baby.
Every song is a memory which I call memories treasures that no one take from all of us.
somebody please bring back music like this again Wil we ever hear music and artists like this again this is what real music sounds like.
I grew up 80 miles out of Motown. This is my music. 50 years later I still get goose bumps hearing it.
Motown is THE BEST...so much raw talent....love it all....
50 years and 1600 miles from Detroit, same here
Who is singing tenor
I grew up across the river from Motown. To me it is still the best of my childhood. Thanks Motown, then.
I dew 2 🎉
Please bring back songs like this again.
It's a Damn Shame that the music of today is so messed up
MANUEL XAVIER true
It’s a damn damn shame!!

that guitar makes up 4 the whole song. i just love that guitar in the solo part.
I never knew there were other versions.
They never received the notoriety they deserved. Fabulous and classy
I am addicted to this song. Again! 47 years later. What kind of unholy madness and sweet torture is this?
I know what you mean. I have this Song on a Motown Compliation and I drove along and sang although I got some "Strange" looks.

The Funk Bros. with Jamerson on bass... Doesn't get much better than that!
"The Hook"!

I was really young, but it turned out to be the happiest time of my life. The music of today doesn’t compare. I miss the beautiful vocals.
GREAT SONG FROM 1970 WITH G.C. CAMERON ON LEAD.
Yep, Phillipe Wynn's cousin

The bass line by James Jamerson is the absolutely bomb!!
Makes me want to go back and live my life in the 70's.

This is a CLASSIC favorite. Those voices are sublime. Love The Spinners.
That bass line though!!!!!! Love this song
1970, the best year for music.
