I knew this song from The Doobie Brothers. Found this purely by accident and , to my lasting shame, had never heard of this singer. Absolutely magnificent.
@@captainkeyboard1007 Well'' im 44 and was fortunate that my mum loved motown & my dad loved pop/rock. I was never all that interested by the music of my generation certainly not as much as i have followed the baby boomers music! It always baffles me on how these artists managed to make music sound so effortlessly good when in reality it was a very hard skill. And after all these years of collecting records im still discovering more artists from the 60' & 70's My obsession is this music!
@@toddblanks You got soul! I love soft rock and roll music, too. On UA-cam, I get extra songs to hear that I never knew of their titles, but they had familiar tunes I heard seldomly. Today, the AM and FM radio stations play these fine songs no more. Anyway, most of the singers and musicians are dying like one after the other. Oh, how it hurts to depart and be departed. I thank you for tapping or typing to me.
@@captainkeyboard1007 Thanks a lot friend. I came back here for kim. Yes, very sick of losing these one offs! Just lost jeff beck & now david crosby err... I was extremely lucky to see c.s.n here in the uk. sublime. tonight ive listened to glen campbell with jimmy webb macarther park 1977 amazing. I then went back to soul with gloria jones tanted love, then frankie valli's solo 70's hit the night! Remember that? I do love it when i hear a song that hardly gets played anymore but still stands high above most. Remember the whispers & the detriot spinners. I have been playing roberta flacks debut from 1970 on vinyl has some great guitar on it. Another of my favs is bobby womacks up on 110th street ''Yeah'' Or curtis mayfields debut also 1970. Cheer keyboard captain. Captain and toni tennille were great lol....
I must confess… my knowledge of this song goes back to The Doobie Brothers. I have always loved this song, and hearing it from this amazing woman has made it even more incredible. Kim Weston, I adore you.
@@assiavolts3336 I miss those music artists whom I never met, but their absences cause me to feel less passionate about this fine music. Thank you for tapping or typing to me.
@@leeroberts8114 she was underrated in the fact that her solo work was poorly promoted and she never had an LP issued by Motown despite being signed for a few years. Personally I don't rate either Marvin Gaye or It Takes Two. For me that song has to be one of Motown's worst.
the Doobie Brothers version of this song came out in the mid 70s; I immediately dug this 45 out of my old record collection box and found it! I was right back in Junior high and got all those memories back Kim’s original version blew the Doobies away . Long live Motown!
This is and always will be a favorite of mine. Thank you for the memories. I really mean memories since I am 72 years old. This music will forever be in my mind, heart, and soul. Take care and God bless.
My Mother is 72 also and I truly appreciate many people from the '60s.I'm sure that you all had your moments but you did it with style.Every '60s person says that those times were great with the music and people were mature.Someone 20 in '65 and someone 20 in '17...no comparison
What a GREAT song, and what a BEAUTIFUL WOMAN....I never knew or made the connection between the two. There were so many beautiful women of that era that could sing, and so many others took center stage. I first heard of her singing with Marvin Gaye, and I wasn't old enough to give her the attention she deserved. I just turned 68, and I remember so much because my older cousins always collected records, and we had " house parties" on the weekend. I wanted to be older then, but they seemed to be having all the fun. I miss those days. You learn a lot by watching and listening.. Looking back, I realize how talented these artists were, and how lucky we were that Berry Gordy could assemble so many in one place. It could only have happened then and there. I'm still appreciating the soul heritage. Kim, I'm still discovering more of what you did. I'm in AWE, and very pleased.
One of Motown's "rocking-est" records ever. Kim never got the acknowledgment she deserved. Try "A Thrill a Moment" and "Don't Compare Me With Her." A strong, gospel voice much like Martha.
Kim Weston and Martha Reeves are among my favorites. Incredible voices and performers. Love the piano riff in the background. This song is heart wrenching; and can leave you in or near tears; no matter what lost old love it makes you recall; when you just knew whatever you said or did; could never change things. Experiences like this make you wise.
Always love the Motown Sound, what great songs by all the artists on the Motown label. Have music from the 50`s to the 2000`s and in my mind the 60`s had the greatest songs and artists of all time. ( ROCK-N-ROLL WILL NEVER DIE ) This is the music to play at work to make the day go sooooo much better.
I had a wonderful childhood and Motown was a big part of that! Kim was always one of the most outstanding voices that you didn't hear enough of...too bad, because she had a voice unmatched by others in that stable of stars!
This is my favorite MOTOWN song, and a blessing to see it in video form, as this is the best song for all of us who love doing "The Wagner Walk" here in Philly, and The Delaware Valley. Thanks Jerry Blavat for always playing this gem!
The GEATER with the HEATER,the Boss with the hot sauce,....Tooo tall to get over,tooo wide to get around,.....when we turn out the lights the girls' gonna' be feelin' alright.,.....You know you get so much from the BILL FOX touch.
Kim Weston really sings the heck out of that song. Thanks for the extended version, it's terrific. And I actually enjoy those Hullabaloo dancers! Recently saw clips of Hullabaloo, Shindig, Hollywood a go go ... looks like it was a fun time in music and TV programs.
Thanks Kim! There's one thing I always notice about our African American singers during that era whenever they have go-go dancers I don't ever remember seeing African-American go-go dancers. She has a beautiful voice and I wish this music was back with us today is Sweet Melody to your ears🎵🎶🎼🎸🎷🎹📺😄🎙
Fantastic....... Even after hearing this song for 1.000 times you could hear it for another 1.000 and still get a huge buzz from it. Thats what makes a great song and this is truely one of those......... Andy, Nottingham.
l am sitting and weeping...joyous memories of my deceased older brother who would boog a loo his ass off to this. Thank you Moso. I can go on living now.
I agree all the versions are good though I still think Kim really nails the song the best. Also, a Candian gal named Charity Brown did a good version. So did Jermaine Jackson. A great song is a great song.
I LOVE ALL 3 BUT (TO ME) THE DOOBIE BROTHERS IS MY FAVORITE JUST SEEMS A LITTLE MORE UPBEAT THAN KIM WESTON SHE IS A VERY CLOSE SECOND THE ISLEYS A GOOD STEP AWAY, WHEN I HEAR THE DOOBIES AND KIM IT MAKES ME WANT TO SING AND DANCE. 2 THINGS I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT
er1073 Kim’s been around a long time. She was discovered by her cousins Brian and Eddie Holland ( Songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland ) She did a duet with Marvin Gaye “It Takes Two” in 1967
I remember Kim Weston sang during the 1960s decade. The song that was very nice was the one she sang as a duet with Marvin Gaye, "What's the Matter With You, Baby" on Tamla 45 rpm 7" disc, which was called "45s." Another song that just came to my mind is "It Takes Two." Today, I will not expect to hear these and other hits on the radio anymore. They are chivalry--gone with the past.
OK, I'm inventing a time-machine so you can go back to the classic 60s Motown studios and be one of the engineers who give us these extended versions!! You're a wizard doing your musical-magic!!
Stunning!.......My all time favourite Motown tune........Never thought that the original could be improved upon but you gone and done it again!......Well done and many many thanks for all of the stunning work you have carried out....It is certainly appreciated....just don't stay away so long next time!........All the best, Neil.
KIM KIM KIM !!!!!!!!ahhh another GREAT mix from the MASTER!!!!.and the visuals are super.....happy new year,pisano, and keep them coming our way in 2012...joey/nyc
Brings back memories from my college days, the passion with which Kim sang this song was the way I felt after losing my first love. I can still feel those emotions. Still a little painful.
These woman were so brave. I'm a man and I am afraid of heights. They have this poor woman up there in these spiked heels singing. God bless her, she did a wonderful job.
Whos still listening 50 plus years later...I am....take me in your arms and rock Kim just a little while....yesss
Most under rated, what a beautiful voice and woman. Highly respected !
One of the truly great Female voices at Motown.
I knew this song from The Doobie Brothers. Found this purely by accident and , to my lasting shame, had never heard of this singer. Absolutely magnificent.
I am 67 and still moved by this great music. The funk brothers hit the groove
Me, too. We were lucky to grow up on all this greatness! The best dancing, grooving happy music !!!
I am 68 years old and I am fortunate, let alone lucky, to have this music at my own convenience.

Best version, the original soul stomping, tambourine shaking,piano pounding, makes you wanna dance right from the get go. !!!! A true Gem
The Funk brothers were the best for such catchy beats like this one. Loving Jack Ashford for the Tambourine,lovely.
Lovely beautiful song.all about Motown.
That was what music was all about. Also, it contained lots of harmony and rhythm for you to keep the pace with the music.
Glad I grew up when music was music. That background music is tearing it up!!
Probably the funk Brothers in background. Dont know for sure tho
Of course it's the *FABULOUS* Funk Brothers!!! Who else could play like that????? 😁
I wish I would have wrote that comment myself.
I Adore Kim Weston! Can some of our legends teach my generation to sing like this! We need this fever back!
The sad thing about it is that most of our singers and musicians have died and left us behind.
No auto tune👍👍👍

Kim Weston was another one of Motown’s most underrated singers.
Lee Roberts how many solo hits did she have ? Very few unfortunately. She should’ve been a much bigger star..
Well said. Kim was the one of the most astonishing artists Motown ever had and they wasted all that phenomenal talent.
Thanks to Berry Gordy . Great Artist .

@@thomaslombardo3401 MUCH!
What a classic Motown gem! They used to make music. People could sing in those days. I know because I was there.
Me, too. I was there when I was a child.
Kim with The Funk Brothers and The Andantes at the top of their game. Bomaye ❤️
Straight through the heart and down to the soul. Incredible. If you don't feel this, you have not lived.

Classic Motown song. She really belts this one out.
One of the best songs ever recorded. Kim is a gem!!

HDH + Funk Brothers + Andantes + Kim Weston = Pure Genius and one of the greatest rock and soul tunes ever!
Very underrated! This has to be one of my favourite Motown songs alongside needle in a haystack and come see about me
Now this was the best dance records in my days as a teenager.💯👍🔊
You go girl! Kim Weston never got much credit as she deserved

Takes me back to 1967! Marvin Gay & Kim Weston! I put a lot of quarters in the Juke Box playing this tune!
BIG Voice. Subtle hip moves from KIm. Fab! Thanks.
Powerful -- WoW! Not even a Top Ten Billboard record. Just goes to show how magnificent was the Motown Sound.
The only Motown female singer who sounded even remotely close to Martha Reeves, just as powerful and emotive vocally.
Gladys Knight?
Motown. Beautiful classics.
Loved it then...love it now!
how can you not move to this.. diamond tune
The Bridge is fantastic; the 3-note piano riff is awesome. Her singing is incredible.
Oh my. Ain't God good for giving us such as this?!
I have always and will be a fan of Kim Weston and other entertainers of Motown. Love it. God Bless you Mosogotam.
