    When I say nobody I mean NOBODY could sing this song like Martha Reeves, not even Diana Ross (love her version, but still..) couldn’t come close to what Martha Reeves did on this song. She was singing her heart out on this song. Early ‘60s Motown was like the soundtrack of my life.

    I so wish our young singers today could learn to sing in harmony with multiple backup singers like these ladies. This is the way its supposed to sound like, I mean these ladies make today's singers look foolish and amateur. 70% of the music today would not have been good enough to play on the radio back then, musicians and composers were simply more sentimental and creative. Even their clapping and their "go ahead girl" is so incredibly cool. I just played this video like 20 times in a row.

      Yes, I definitely dub it as All the Way with LBJ. Heat Waves are certainly no stranger to Texas. When it was released, he was a Vice President who was leading affirmative action. Though it's supposed to be about heartbreak, I just feels too optimistic. Civil Rights style optimism.

      There wasn't hardly any "groups" it was mainly individuals supported by The Funk Brothers. The Funk Brothers are the sound of Motown. Unfortunately hardly anyone is aware of their contribution to popular music. Fucking geniuses. And you say Motown groups were ripped off. These poor dudes turned up for work in 1972 to see a sign saying "no work today". Motown had fucked off to LA. Over, just like that.

When the Vandellas turn sideways facing Martha, put their left hand on their hips and start pointing at Martha, "Go ahead girl. Ain't nothin' but love, girl..." I just love it. I grew up around a lot of older black women and that's the way they would scold you, one hand on their hip while they pointed their finger for emphasis. I always found it endearing.

      I have to reply to your 4-year-old point! I have thought the same, and the #1 energetic song I heard from the early '60s, with only The Beatles' "She Loves You" and "Light My Fire" by The Doors (July 1967) having that same intense level of excitement and energy! Those three songs are tops in how they transmitted the desire for love in one's life, and the centerpiece of the entire.reason for Rock 'n' Roll! Another one, only slightly less exciting for me in hearing all the great Top 40 songs then was "Surf City" (June 1963) by Jan and Dean.

    I'm really enjoying the vandellas, they seem to love martha, and Martha seems to love them. That part where they turn to her and urge her to 'go ahead, girl'

      I agree 100%.....this music/song is still kicking 52 years after it was released !!
      For the record I saw Martha and the Vandellas for the 1st time 14 years ago they brought down the house......the place was "ROCKING",people in the aisles dancing it was the 60's all over again everyone had a great time,they signed autographs and I took a picture with Martha :)
      Long live Old School !!!

    Song filled with emotions for me. On the day my mother died we played this song. For as far she was able to, she moved on the rythm as always. Making this song very emotional and special for me. Dear mom, miss you much. Wish you where here. 05-07-2016

    I met the women on the far left while doing workat her home in Detroit a few months ago and I knew she was something big because she had all this memorabilia in a room and pics of the three of them with Marvin Gaye. It made her day that such a young person knew who she was. I didn't know until I saw all the pics but it's all the same. These guys were huge.

      Lucky you. These black artists from Detroit were some of the very greatest social revolutionaries in the history of the USA. They changed our country and also the world- just by being themselves and telling the world it is to be a real authentic human being, and that deep down, were all the same. Growing up I was from the white suburbs of Detroit, but my soul was formed by the Detroit's black ghettos. And I think that is true of everyone from my generation. Amazing, profound music from the soul of humanity.

    HEATWAVE - Probably the best Tamla Motown song ever. Martha & the Vandellas were just brilliant. What a voice Martha has - and the vocal backing singers are every bit as good. English mod band THE JAM did a great cover version of this song on their 1979 album "Settings Sons". Their version of this classic song is well worth checking out !. But you still can't beat this original by Martha & the Vandellas.
