As quiet as it's kept, the bass line from this song was lifted from "You Can't Hurry Love" by Diana Ross and The Supremes and also utilized in "All I Need" by The Temptations, "We're Almost There" by Michael Jackson, "Maneater" by Hall and Oates and "Part Time Lover" by Stevie Wonder & Luther Vandross.
You're very welcome!! It was definitely your comment on the first video that sparked me to go back and redo it and I'm glad you brought it up! I hadn't heard the unedited version in years- same for the Spanish version. And is it just me or does the Spanish version sound as if it came from another planet? I'm guessing they couldn't find the original master tape and maybe had to go to an actual 45 for inclusion on the 50th Anniversary collection.
Thanks for the heads up; that'll be good for others to know because I had to dig through all the CDs I had and just hope I had it! Plus, that Gold CD is much easier to find than the My Music CD.
@@Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles @Tomovox_PAMS_Radio_JIngles Their two best compilations are this one and their triple CD 50th Anniversary-The Singles Collection, both of which contain extended stereo mixes, with overdubbed echo and reverb missing, and with full length endings. The latter also has a whole CD with previously unreleased tracks from the whole of the sixties. This is the full unedited version of Dancing In The Street, with it's full unfaded ending, and a touch of glorious studio chatter at the beginning. ua-cam.com/video/1paMK0rKcuE/v-deo.html
Tomo, the unedited (middle break) stereo mix is also on 'the Compact Command Performances' CD I have, and on the stereo UK Tamla 1966 issue (STML 11040) of their 'Greatest Hits L.P'. Interesting to note how the Stereo L.P Mix edited the middle break differently to the 45 mix!
Good to know it's not as hard to find as I had thought at first! I gotta say, I think it tightened up the flow when they made the edit. So I'm wondering if anyone in the US heard that unedited middle eight version before the CD era, because this wasn't issued on any other album beyond "Watchout!" which still featured the edited break. Plus, you all in the UK were blessed with a volume 2 of Martha and the Vandellas' greatest hits, and with an incredible cover! We didn't have any such album until the Anthology series.
Het gevoel kan zijn dat het een beetje vreemd klonk om ze 4 keer hetzelfde te laten herhalen. Het gevoel kan ook zijn geweest dat door het weg te snijden het nummer beter kon stromen.
the spanish version i can’t understand her 😅is good she tried but her spanish was like chewing words and yeah i speak spanish but anyway the real version sounds cool just im still looking the version of a blonde woman who also sang in the 60s Tina Mason i think, her version to me sounds cooler but only found 1 video with peter and gordon singing lady godiva, the quality s bad so cant hear her properly 😢. 😊
Whenever these artists sang a song in a different language, they'd sing from lyrics written out phonetically, and often they may not even have known just what they were singing- everything was done so quickly. I also think the Spanish version was taken from a bad recording; they may not have had the original tape available. It sounds a bit "mushy" to me, almost like this was taken from a bootleg tape.

Those muscular drums working with the sweetest strings and Vandellas' vocals. This is a damn near perfect single. Such a great Martha vocal.
Well said! One of the strongest singles Martha and the Vandellas ever recorded.
My fav Martha single. Thanks.
You're welcome!
This song was powerful from the telegraph key start, percussion , vocals to finish! Best writers: Holland, Dozier ,Holland a great top ten record.
I'm loving your comment! To me, this was a period when the group was hitting a second wave of exceptional songs.

Thanks for posting the unedited and Spanish versions!

Yes the Spanish version sounds somewhat odd. Perhaps they had to find a music track to fit the more lengthy Spanish word translation phrases.
Great video! And great song!
Thank you so much! And yes I agree it's a great song- this one sounds as if it was destined to be a hit!
This slightly unedited stereo take is easiest found on their double CD called Gold.

Thank you so I can located it and add it to my 1966 playlist

Omg waarom hebben ze de “Unedited” Stereo versie niet gebruikt? Veel en veel beter dan de uiteindelijke versie
Het gevoel kan zijn dat het een beetje vreemd klonk om ze 4 keer hetzelfde te laten herhalen. Het gevoel kan ook zijn geweest dat door het weg te snijden het nummer beter kon stromen.
