This song has some wisdom in it as far as I'm concerned. Lots of people these days want a relationship to happen right away and it's like "We just met a week ago". Life isn't like Hollywood movies. It's very rare to actually fall in love so quickly and have things work out. Patience is what so many lack. It's all about Now, Now, Now. Classic song though!
A few minutes before my mom picked me up, I was singing this around the house. When I got in the car my mom said, "by the way, you can't hurry love." I was scared she'd heard me singing until she said, "It was just on the radio, thought I'd relay the meaning to you." Crazy that we were singing/listening to this at the same time without knowing it.
My high school gf mother brought me a frog 🐸 sitting on a heart ❤️ for Valentine’s Day that sang this chorus if you squeeze it. She said to me that you can’t hurry love.... 15 years later she’s my son grandma and she was right all along
1966-sitting in the barracks at Ft. Bragg, N.C. and wondering about the future while listening to this great record. 2010-sitting at home in Fla. and wondering about the past while listening to this great record. Then and now-the small things that tie our lives together. One of their best. Thanks for stirring the memories.
1966 state fair, only song on the juke box sitting on the corner at the penny arcade....... it played all day.... dont think there was even another record in the thing. Good stuff and a day I will never forget !!!!!
As FRESH and delightfully TENDER as almost SIXTY years ago!!! Bless them!!! Bless my MAMA too, now gone, who also insisted on moderation and balance!... The song is eternal!!...
My mom's friend and her husband a few years ago when they got married walked into their reception to this song. They were both in their 40s and got married for the first time. This song was very appropriate to them.
am taking a fascinating journey through the charts,playing every song from 1954 to 2015,long way to go,been through beginnings of rock and roll,wall of sound,motown,now living the sixties,see you at the end !
This is just about a perfect pop single. It is a great song with an interesting lyric, the arrangement is brilliant and captivating, the performance by Ms. Ross is as good as it gets, and the backup vocals are catchy and finish the entire collaboration off perfectly. Motown knew how to do this better than anyone ever did before or after them, including finding the artists and grooming and training them to become stars and then legends.
Ended things with my situationship today. I really like him but his actions spoke louder than his words. Heard this song on the radio and it spoke directly to me. A year from now I won't even be thinking about him. I'll just have to wait
THIS IS STUCK IN MY HEAD! Nearly 40yrs later and this song remains catchy. From 5am till the evening i was humming this song all day, and I can't get it out of my head. This song is irresistibly catchy.
I'm a big Phil Collins fan, but no one's ever done this song as well as Diana Ross and the Supremes. And right now this song fits the situation I'm in perfectly. I wish it came to mind sooner.
this song going through my head all night long and i could NOT remember the lyrics "when i feel my strength, yeh it's almost gone."....i don't think i ever knew them....(knew the rest by heart for what, 50 years?) anyhow. i was very glad to finally learn them.....Thanks.
I love this song. I am applying it to my life right now because I am trying to find a love, but just as the Supremes said you can't hurry love. I'll just keep on waiting for that right man even if it does feel like forever. Thank you Supremes and Diana Ross for such good advice.
I can remember when I was 6 years old; my daddy would take me, to witness the sound of Motown it meant an era of music, with meaning, there was unity . The streets of Chicago’s south and west sides we displayed respect, morality and supported each other. It is a good thing that I have this memory and even the dance moves from this era. I especially loved Diana Ross the Black Queen of Fashion.
Made me feel so much better listening to this song when i was finding it hard to get over my ex boyfriend. id speak to my mum daily an i was finding it so hard an my mum was basically saying this an then i heard this song an it made me smile for what felt like the first time after the break up, listen to it all the time since x
On this day in 1966 {September 25th} the Supremes performed "You Can't Hurry Love" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... One month earlier on August 13th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and on September 10th it peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks}... It started a string of four straight #1s for the trio; this one followed by "You Keep Me Hangin' On", "Love Is Here and Now You're Gone", and "The Happening"... And in 1983 Phil Collins' covered version made the Top 10, right at #10...
this song is still VERY RELEVANT to a modern man like me. i'm very impatient when it comes to dating. i'm not pushy or anything but i hate the long dragged out process it takes when someone who shows interest in you text you first all the time, and comments and likes your stuff on fb still wants to take things slow. my biggest issue is trust because i always think they're dragging it out to torture you. but love is all about risks i guess :)
The late 70s, every morning when my dad took me to school this song played on the radio station every morning around the same time, and I loved it, it made my morning. Listen to now 2021.
My vocals teacher and I tried to do this, then my mom got furloughed due to COVID, so we had to cut it early. Practicing and mastering this song remains unfinished, so it makes me sad whenever I get to the point where we said goodbye. I’m gonna keep practicing this to make her proud. Edit 6 (almost 7) months later: Our first meeting back just ended. This was what we did. I’m beaming with joy.
Well sir, that's very fortunate. There is a huge bunch of songs for you to discover in a lot of genre from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. I was really fortunate to be a teen in the 80s. Superb catchy music with all the synth.
I love this kind of music. So does my husband. We both listen to this kind of music. Hell when I really want to tell my husband how I feel I just start singing along.
This hit by The Supremes went to #1 in the Autumn of 1966. It also hit #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts and the Cashbox charts. It was #3 in Canada and the United Kingdom.
I'm a child of the 60s. In fact, I was born when Motown had it's first hit and on my 7th birthday the first record I ever owned was the "Temptations Greatest Hits".....I bleed Detroit soul.....and I'm from New York!......
I love seeing all the comments by younger folks who say: "Oh I was born in the wrong decade cos this stuff is awesome!" I'm 31 and I used to think like that :-) The best part is discovering all these gems. And all you youngsters out there: If you love this stuff make sure you see people like Diana Ross in Concert :-)
this is a great song with a great message, girls if you wait you'll find a man who knows what being a REAL MAN is all about. i trust in that fully, know matter how many men have asked for my number and name "I keep waiting." Plus the added bonus is they try twice as hard to be nice and gentleman like, every man likes a challenge and a mystery ;)
Love dont come easy its a game of give and take. I love that part!!Easy come , easy go,but love dont come easy. Thats why love is precious.we have to grow the precious love by give and take...
This is exactly what I feel. Want to have a lover who appreciates my uniqueness, and sometimes I cry because I don't have one, but I just move along and think about finishing college (right now in junior year) and getting a good job. Only then will I think about finding a lover. Peace. Your sister, Astro
well, I'm 65...and, as Ed Sullivan used to say on Sunday nights, "NOW....FOR ALL YOU YOUNGSTERS OUT THERE....." I think this song is timeless and it's one of those tunes you can never hear too much...and it seems that everyone from 9 to 90 likes it. by the way, if you ever get a chance to visit the Motown Museum on W.Grand Ave. in Detroit, do it. you cannot believe such great music came from that run-down house.
18 years old, never had a gf or even kissed a girl, and just found out the girl I like is in a long distance relationship with a guy from florida. Right now i don't know what to do. except wait a little longer i suppose.
Luke Guzelis, I didn't have a serious girlfriend or was kissed until I was 30. I had very little luck dating in my 20s. But I dumped my first serious girlfriend six months later. I had a few good dates afterward and I met my wife at 31 and got married at 32. So when it happened it happened quickly. But I waited 12 years with no action and didn't even go for dates for sometimes over a year. Believe me, I know how you feel. I was treated horrible by young women, and the women I thought were awesome, and were bitches I am better off without. I also found it a waste of time dating a woman under 35 because they finally grow up and get over their need for feeling chemistry on the first few dates and see you for who you are.
Really??? That is just so awesome!!! Motown is one of my favorite types of music, even though I'm a 24 little white guy! What you said is true too, mowtown was pure talent, both the music and the singers!
For those of us who remember the 60s, this song evokes memories of the Vietnam War (tv series China Beach later, too), protests of just about anything, demonstrations, riots, bell bottoms, bright clothes, hip huggers, and lots more. Girls with long straight hair, Afros. We got a color tv in the late 60s. Neil Armstrong. Cuban missiles, Francis Gary Powers. Good song. Be careful what you wish for.
it doesnt get any better than this. a holland/dozier/holland penned hit with diana ross backed by the amazing florence ballard and mary wilson. a timeless classic than often copied will never be bettered
That mama had a good sense of some concepts ingrained in Psychology. Social learning and Social Exchange theory are a huge factor in not only healthy relationships, but friendships as well. People could learn a handful from that amazing woman.
This song describes my life!! But it keeps my hopes up! I WILL find the person I'm meant to be with. Even if it does feel like FOREVERRRRR!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVE this song!

smart man...
KJbourne17 yep yep!!
I Agree With You 💯
@KJ That's the way the real thing works young dog it takes time wasn't meant to be fast as a microwave
Smokey said Shop Around
Such a refreshing song. I miss when music was like this. It is so beautiful and relaxing.
I agree!
Lol tbh I can’t miss it cuz I wasn’t alive at the time to miss it.
Swift Mew same u just have to ask the radio for it in the car or look is up
But it's so depressing, songs nowadays are more uplifting
@@johnny-mnemonic13 are we from the same planet? Lol

Mum daughter connection ❤️
I was born in '81.
But how can you NOT love motown. It's just the best american pop EVER had to offer to the world
AMazing.
My high school gf mother brought me a frog 🐸 sitting on a heart ❤️ for Valentine’s Day that sang this chorus if you squeeze it. She said to me that you can’t hurry love.... 15 years later she’s my son grandma and she was right all along
Bronny James 😭😭 this is beautiful
Ok I'm sorry this is cute but I thought u said she was your son😭🤣💀
That's beautiful!

Nobody can sing like this anymore... Most artists are just crappy rappers. Love songs like these!
so true
There are only a handful of women with the vocal talents of Diana Ross.
Correct. The 1950s to the mid 1960s were the best times for music.
@@oilersridersbluejaysfr
The alarm clock radio woke me up to get ready for another day of 1st grade with this song playing. Great memories!
With all that went on musically in the 60s this song and some other great songs get forgotten. This had such a great sound, just a fantastic pop hit.
Billboard's 207th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless! RIP, Flo Ballard.
My mom's friend and her husband a few years ago when they got married walked into their reception to this song. They were both in their 40s and got married for the first time. This song was very appropriate to them.
sounded really cute til I remembered what the views on marriage were when they were growing up so I’m not too surprised.
am taking a fascinating journey through the charts,playing every song from 1954 to 2015,long way to go,been through beginnings of rock and roll,wall of sound,motown,now living the sixties,see you at the end !

If you're lonely, you might as well wait and enjoy it. :\
Words to live by.
Nothing is true everything is permitted brother
Yup
🥂🔥🙂
why can't music be like this anymore
This song literally never gets old...
Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Flo Ballard are the Supremes pure beautiful queens.
RIP Flo and Mary
I miss music like this where the singers could actaully sing and the songs actually had a meaning.
Ended things with my situationship today. I really like him but his actions spoke louder than his words. Heard this song on the radio and it spoke directly to me. A year from now I won't even be thinking about him. I'll just have to wait
I work in a care home, and this song plays all the time. I’ve grown to love it
A definitive relaxing classic. I love both the Supremes original version and of course Phil Collins cover. 😊
this song is so timeless, i will never get tired of it
One of the best melody ever. Makes me smile, brighten any day, make me dance alone in my house. I listen to this song and lose some my jadedness...
I love the innocent sound of the Supremes, listening to them brings me back to a much simpler time.
Good stuff, thanks for posting.
Show me a grown man who doesn't get down to the supremes and I'll show you a liar.
i don't get it.
Rene Google Probably shouldn't, my IQ dropped 10 points just reading that mess of insanity...
I misread that as "go down". The internet has broke my brain.
+Stevie Vehorn XD its funny im only 18 and i love them back then they put feelings into there music not like the dumbass kids these days
+da lazy god You're a dumbass kid, thinking you're special because you're 'only 18', stop attention grabbing.
One of the greatest songs ever. Period.
The Supremes Version Of This Song, Went To Number 1 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1966.
THIS IS STUCK IN MY HEAD! Nearly 40yrs later and this song remains catchy. From 5am till the evening i was humming this song all day, and I can't get it out of my head. This song is irresistibly catchy.
I'm a big Phil Collins fan, but no one's ever done this song as well as Diana Ross and the Supremes. And right now this song fits the situation I'm in perfectly. I wish it came to mind sooner.
I've loved this song since I was a small kid--still love it just as much!
I love when tia && tamera sing this song on ( Sister Sister ) ♥
Nostalgic!!!! 💕💕
this song going through my head all night long and i could NOT remember the lyrics "when i feel my strength, yeh it's almost gone."....i don't think i ever knew them....(knew the rest by heart for what, 50 years?) anyhow. i was very glad to finally learn them.....Thanks.

Hope you found it ....♡
Why can't they make more stuff like this, it is so nice to listen to! Love it! Thanks for posting!
This might be their very best. What a great beat and lyrics. I, I, I can't go on. The best girl group ever and will never be duplicated.
I can remember when I was 6 years old; my daddy would take me, to witness the sound of Motown it meant an era of music, with meaning, there was unity .

I SENT THIS TO MY DAUGHTER!! (22yrs young)🎯💪🏽💯💯💯💃🏼 IT DEFINITELY DON’T COME EASY!🎯💯💯🤷🏽♀️#mommaknowsbest💯💪🏽
This song is on repeat for a week. I just love listening to this kind of music. ❤

Just had another heartbreak 💔 and I'm in my feels again, this time around this songs speaks to me stronger.
unreal song should be number one in the charts !

i'm 15 years old. and i listen to this. so inlove with 60's songs. the best!
God, I just adore this song! Whether it be Phil Collins or the Supremes!
Great Energy & Vibes ♥️. Beautiful song

I was really fortunate to be a teen in the 80s. Superb catchy music with all the synth.
I'm using this song to audition for a choir solo
ayy I'm auditioning for this song as a choir solo. Good luck to you
Holy Shit! You don't find a wicked subtle but heavy-as-rockstone beat like this anymore!
every time i feel down, i remember to listen to this song and it helps.
I love this kind of music. So does my husband. We both listen to this kind of music. Hell when I really want to tell my husband how I feel I just start singing along.

You're not the only one having that wish..This is what I term soul music
Amazing, pure pop perfection, not even Phil Collins could ruin this song (he did try).
love this song heard it in music class today and i was like in love with it!!!
I'm a child of the 60s. In fact, I was born when Motown had it's first hit and on my 7th birthday the first record I ever owned was the "Temptations Greatest Hits".....I bleed Detroit soul.....and I'm from New York!......

First person listening to this song in 2018, and my first time listening to it. going through the hardest breakup in my life, i can relate to this...
I went to a party and I played this song. Everyone went CRAZY
this is a great song with a great message, girls if you wait you'll find a man who knows what being a REAL MAN is all about. i trust in that fully, know matter how many men have asked for my number and name "I keep waiting."

This tune is a masterpiece! The Beatles wished they wrote music this good...they tried!
who remember tia and tamera singing this song on sister sister
I'm learning this song on the Bass. Great song!
This reminds me of what a Catholic speaker said. He said "Great marriages don't just happen, they're made."
Age 33 and still single, this song gave me hope in 2021 with everything going on.
You got this.
@@dragonofwise1035 thank you
This is exactly what I feel. Want to have a lover who appreciates my uniqueness, and sometimes I cry because I don't have one, but I just move along and think about finishing college (right now in junior year) and getting a good job. Only then will I think about finding a lover.
Peace.
Your sister, Astro
great song! a classic!
this music is quite allot better than any song made in the last 10 years
another excellent example of why The Supremes, Holland-Dozier-Holland and Motown were/are THE GREATEST!!!!
Yes! They are fabulous!
why aren't they more popular, they wrote some of the most famous songs still used today like "RESPECT"
I love the Supremes!
Thank you so much ;)
well, I'm 65...and, as Ed Sullivan used to say on Sunday nights, "NOW....FOR ALL YOU YOUNGSTERS OUT THERE....." I think this song is timeless and it's one of those tunes you can never hear too much...and it seems that everyone from 9 to 90 likes it. by the way, if you ever get a chance to visit the Motown Museum on W.Grand Ave. in Detroit, do it. you cannot believe such great music came from that run-down house.
I like The Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love."
Reminds me of an era I wasn't even born in :3
I'm 12, and I still prefer this music, like the 70's and 80's, to the music today.
18 years old, never had a gf or even kissed a girl, and just found out the girl I like is in a long distance relationship with a guy from florida. Right now i don't know what to do.
except wait a little longer i suppose.
Wait.
+Ryder Monroe lol
its been over a year and i still haven't had a gf or kissed a girl but I'M STILL WAITIN

Love still don’t come easy 2020
i love this song!!!! i can't stop singing and dancing to it!!!
:) :)
Really??? That is just so awesome!!! Motown is one of my favorite types of music, even though I'm a 24 little white guy! What you said is true too, mowtown was pure talent, both the music and the singers!
Ever since I saw Diana Ross on the 2019 Grammy's I keep singing her songs! I can hear my own Mama telling me to wait and hold on! Love This Song!
This song keeps me pure❤️🕊️
For those of us who remember the 60s, this song evokes memories of the Vietnam War (tv series China Beach later, too), protests of just about anything, demonstrations, riots, bell bottoms, bright clothes, hip huggers, and lots more. Girls with long straight hair, Afros. We got a color tv in the late 60s. Neil Armstrong. Cuban missiles, Francis Gary Powers. Good song. Be careful what you wish for.

💃🏻🎶❤️it’s a game of give and take.
Somebody preach in 2021
it doesnt get any better than this. a holland/dozier/holland penned hit with diana ross backed by the amazing florence ballard and mary wilson. a timeless classic than often copied will never be bettered
Rip Mary wilson😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤
That mama had a good sense of some concepts ingrained in Psychology. Social learning and Social Exchange theory are a huge factor in not only healthy relationships, but friendships as well. People could learn a handful from that amazing woman.
This is great music!!
This song describes my life!! But it keeps my hopes up! I WILL find the person I'm meant to be with. Even if it does feel like FOREVERRRRR!!!!!!!!!! :) LOVE this song!
I am sending this from my i pod from inside my dads testicle, and I can relate to this song,amazing!!!!
Man I love the supremes so much feeling
2018 and this track is still fire
I heard this on the Ed Sulliven show and had to check this out. So awesome :)
