The 70's were by far the best decade of my life. I was a kid and carefree. No other decade's music can hold a candle to the 70's and I mean that for all types of music: pop, classic rock, r & b, etc. Back then we had true artists and amazing bands. Since then we've had crap. :)
i turned 14 august 73, this was number 1 , and i was obsessed with how much i loved this song. 7 weeks number 1 on my top 50 list; which i typed ever friday! felt like i had the emotions of a girl for liking it so intensely, but oh well! that's me.
One of my most favorite songs by Diana Ross! Brings so many memories back to me from the year 1973 and of fun times with my friend Kathy Long. She's gone now but she was a childhood friend I could never forget.
This is a classic. It only happens when song, artist, producer and musicians are perfectly in sync, as they obviously were on the day of this recording. This one stands the test of time.
I remember hearing this in our green 1973 Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park station wagon ... 20 feet long with simulated wood paneling and a 429 cubic inch engine. What a beast.
This song reminds me of my beautiful Aunt Rachel who died in December of 2007 at 60 yrs old, more importantly it take me back to the summer of 1973 when I was go to her house to hang out with my cousins and I was a young pup of 9 yrs old. That summer seemed to last forever. My aunt back then was more like a mom to me because my own my was too busy doing her drugs to care about me, my brother and three sisters. Thank You Aunt Rachel for everything that you and my uncle Gilbert did for me.
Oh thank you Diana, I looove you when I was 12, 13, 15, I still love now, you were my idol back then and to hear you now is such a pleasure, thank you for this wonderful song. I had the opportunity to see you live, wow I was so exited, tysvm
I have always believed that Ms. Ross is among the best singers ever, if not the best, at phrasing. On this song, her choices and her talent for phrasing are at their very best. She makes this powerful lyric even more poignant and moving.
Diana Ross truly makes masterpieces every time she sings, not to mention the instrumentals in each of her songs are flawless for creating a great mood and atmosphere and they are timed perfectly to fit the songs pace, I never get tired of listening to Diana Ross and her soothing voice.
This is a song best understood and felt by people who have been through love's crucible. My wife and I separated and I moved to Florida and drove taxi, tried to put the pieces together. One day I'm cruising along and THIS song, with that unmistakeable piano lead in, comes on radio. It FLATTENED me. Had to pull my cab over...That's a Powerful song.
Diana Ross could sing it All, POP, R&B, Disco, Adult Contemporary, Country, you name it. She is the best Female Singer in my opinion and nobody touches her entertainment facter. She wasn't named Billboard Female Entertainer of the Century for nothing. She truly was the best even with all the negative crap, she had to deal with and being black.
As a singer and star, Diana Ross was/is a "supreme" talent who transcended race, division, stereotypes and drama. Her music is a gift that will live on forever.
This song reminds me of how great AM radio used to be. I'd go to sleep every night listening to it. I had the 45 and used to listen to it all the time. Such a great song.
I always cherish my childhood for despite all the depravity visited upon by racial segregation my father provided us with a transistor radio receiver from whence I could listen to great songs like this one. How I could mimic and put my own doodled words to the melody with glee and blessedness? Thank you for this great song.
Ah from my school years and this was certainly a great love song from Diana Ross and the best ones that was ever written back then. The photography here was beautiful to go with the song.Great job.
This song is beautiful. It is about the end of a love affair. It is something we all go through. And we recall as she says "did we not take us to a place where no one has ever been". That is catchy and good. Everytime it is different because the person we are we is.
"Touch Me in the Morning" to me epitomizes the "mature" post-Supremes Diana Ross, before her early '80s disco resurgence. Her early-mid '70s period doesn't get much airplay these days, which is sad, because songs like this, "Last Time I Saw Him" and "Theme From Mahogany" were some of her best vocal performances ever.
Now here is a song that tells everything you would feel at the time love is about to be over, Diana sings it with such emotions that its hard not to feel the pain in the words. It brings back memories of my past relationships I lost..
Many great memories over this gem!!!! In my adolescence I remember, fondly, everyone talking about the garbage music of the time (Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Ashanti)...circa 2000-2002... the only thing I could do was block them out and imagine this track programmed for my immediate pressing of the "play" button over my bag of Gardetto's....GOOD MEMORIES!
I remember having the 45 of this song. It was on the B-Side but I can't remember for the life of me what was on the A-Side. I remember buying the single for the A-Side but ended up liking this song too.
Classic Diana!! No doubt. It is amazing to think of today's female stars. They don't have the depth of soul, charisma, and star power that Ms. Ross had in the apex of her career. She was beyond that of a shining star. Those were heady days for her and her fans.
So sad to hear about the passing of legendary songwriter and producer Michael Masser. He contributed so many incredible songs to the Diana Ross song book. "To this day, the template Ross forged with Michael Masser has remained unique, and influential to new generations of balladeers, But more importantly, the music itself has lost none of its honesty, warmth and romance." - Brian Chin (2003 "To Love Again -
poochmount,diana has one of the greatest and most unique voices in pop history,what planet are you on,you dont have to have a big bellowing screaming voice to have a great voice and diana has a great voice,la reid said hes always been looking for the next diana ross with that voice but has never found one,no one ever sounded like diana
I used to listen to this song when I was a child and I felt it was about something different. Now that I know what it means I can't imagine someone else performing it. Diana clearly transmits all the sadness and emptiness of this wonderful song, perfect for the broken-hearted.
It's been more than 3 decades that I haven't heard of this song. One of the songs that I grew up listening to and never knew what it was all about and I admire it even more now. Thanks for the lyrics on screen now I finally found out. Beautifully done!
O my once more one of the greatest songs ever recorded - you can feel the 1970s it is alive - thank you god for the artist - the voice before the voice
of course all diana's fans know the lyrics to this song but when you see them as diana sings, it really brings the message home. this song is still one of the most beautiful love songs ever written and performed so beautifully by our diana. i have never tired of this song after all these years.
I have heard the criticisms & critiques of this lovely & true song. I must throw in with the crowd of you-tube kids who views this piece as a poignant representation of human emotions. Love is the greatest emotion we may experience; love is the most painful emotion we can experience...
@proudhawkeye.. i am so proud of you and what you have achieved in life and for your siblings. I have had also very sad experiences with my mom. She's now 75 but not an ounce of remorse or regret on her part. I vowed to myself that i would never be like her and would never do the things she did to me to my children. Like you, i didnt let it ruin my life and struggled to where i am now. Please dont lose hope. Have faith and the trust in the Lord. May God bless you more and your siblings !
I remember this from early middle school, 1973. With this one, Diana began to solidify her transformation from an R&B performer to a pop act. Along with Berry Gordy, she sought to expand her fan base beyond her core audience and dedicated outliers to one of all-out popular crossover. This was a fantastic impetus toward that eventual end. Lloyd
I love this song. Short and sweet. Actually this song describes exactly a girlfriend I had some years ago - and exactly how we broke up. And you know, though it is small consolation to her, I still miss her, even after many years have gone by. So when I hear this, almost invariably, a tear comes to my eye. I am sorry, I didn't know. Wherever you are, I hope you are happy.
this was my father's favorite songs,,, I MISS HIM SOOOOOOOO He used to play it every morning, He really had good taste. She is great!!! Thank you for this video...

One of the best songs ever,sung by one of the best singers ever.
Diana's best. She was magic on this recording.
....why does this song always breaks my heart???
This is a classic. It only happens when song, artist, producer and musicians are perfectly in sync, as they obviously were on the day of this recording. This one stands the test of time.

Thank You Aunt Rachel for everything that you and my uncle Gilbert did for me.
one of the most beautiful songs ever!
One of my favorite songs, Timeless and emotional. "We've seen how love can grow
Now we'll see how it dies"
It was my last year in high school UK 1973 when this record was release and it brings back so much lovely memories.
Oh Yes Indeed! Diana Ross Is An Icon!
Timeless, Extraordinary, Her voice is so beautiful, she still sound the same, Thanks for posting this song.,
Oh thank you Diana, I looove you when I was 12, 13, 15, I still love now, you were my idol back then and to hear you now is such a pleasure, thank you for this wonderful song. I had the opportunity to see you live, wow I was so exited, tysvm
Saw Diana in 1980, Flushing Meadows, New York. Absolutely fabulous. She sang all the greats.
I have always believed that Ms. Ross is among the best singers ever, if not the best, at phrasing. On this song, her choices and her talent for phrasing are at their very best. She makes this powerful lyric even more poignant and moving.
Touch Me In The Morning - Diana Ross, love the arrangement of this song, one of Diana's best! where has this music gone!!!!!
And of course one BEAUTIFUL & BRILLIANT performance by Diana!
ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES. TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING. LOVE THAT SONG THEN AND STILL DO
Diana Ross truly makes masterpieces every time she sings, not to mention the instrumentals in each of her songs are flawless for creating a great mood and atmosphere and they are timed perfectly to fit the songs pace, I never get tired of
listening to Diana Ross and her soothing voice.
What a beautiful song from an era that generated so many great songs - when every genre of music was superb - rock, pop, R&B and country.
I've loved this song every since I was a little girl. "We don't have tomorrow....but we had yesterday."
I'm 14 years old & I feel inspired by this song.
Beautiful, beautiful song.
NO, its about a couple having one last night together, and then they are going their separate ways.....sad but such a beautiful song.
This song makes Time Stand Still....
beautiful song with beautiful words
This is a song best understood and felt by people who have been through love's crucible. My wife and I separated and I moved to Florida and drove taxi, tried to put the pieces together.

Last time I remember hearing t was sitting in the car in a parking lot in Elkhart, Indiana.
It was so beautiful to me, and made me very happy.
Love this song! Brings back so many good memories!
Miss Ross you are the and only,It doesn't get any better than this!
This is a heartbreak song of epic proportions...kinda like the The Way We Were... takes me back to my childhood.
again, damn, just love Miss Ross so much. just love her.
This was played at my mams funeral, nearly 20 years ago. This is the first time I've played the song since then.
+ISLWYN2007 bless your dear mum, she will watch over you x
+ISLWYN2007 wow, I don't know if I ever could have done that. I would have lost it. This is a very deep and moving performance by Ms Ross.
+ISLWYN2007 Beautiful song and I hope you only have beautiful memories of your mother.
+ISLWYN2007 God Bless your Mam. Love, Erik..........
This song reminds me of how great AM radio used to be. I'd go to sleep every night listening to it. I had the 45 and used to listen to it all the time. Such a great song.
when i was a child this was one of my favorite song from Diana Ross..never knew I was singing what I later on in life would live.
I always cherish my childhood for despite all the depravity visited upon by racial segregation my father provided us with a transistor radio receiver from whence I could listen to great songs like this one. How I could mimic and put my own doodled words to the melody with glee and blessedness? Thank you for this great song.
i love this song.its sooooo well written,not a single flaw,perfect
One of my favourite bass lines that is a very important part of this song. Found out that it was played by one of the Funk Brothers, Bob Babbitt. RIP.
rip indeed
When singing, songwriting, producing and arranging was a true art form in music.

THE SUPREMACY OF TALENT...
Ah from my school years and this was certainly a great love song from Diana Ross and the best ones that was ever written back then. The photography here was beautiful to go with the song.Great job.
Well said. This song literally transcends time.
this is just one classic ballad from hundreds that miss ross has sung,what an incredible back catalogue,flawless.
This song is beautiful. It is about the end of a love affair. It is something we all go through. And we recall as she says "did we not take us to a place where no one has ever been". That is catchy and good. Everytime it is different because the person we are we is.

Now here is a song that tells everything you would feel at the time love is about to be over, Diana sings it with such emotions that its hard not to feel the pain in the words.
It brings back memories of my past relationships I lost..
Sad that few really pay attention to the studio musicians who made these songs the iconic masterpieces that they are. The Babbitt on bass.
The way she sings this song is just amazing. She's earned her diva status.
Many great memories over this gem!!!! In my adolescence I remember, fondly, everyone talking about the garbage music of the time (Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Ashanti)...circa 2000-2002... the only thing I could do was block them out and imagine this track programmed for my immediate pressing of the "play" button over my bag of Gardetto's....GOOD MEMORIES!
Quite possibly the most beautiful songs ever made! TY
Thank you Michael Masser for your creative song writings. Diana, you are simply heavenly.
This song was playing when a very close friend of mine passed away , gets me everytime.
I remember having the 45 of this song. It was on the B-Side but I can't remember for the life of me what was on the A-Side. I remember buying the single for the A-Side but ended up liking this song too.
Classic Diana!! No doubt. It is amazing to think of today's female stars. They don't have the depth of soul, charisma, and star power that Ms. Ross had in the apex of her career. She was beyond that of a shining star. Those were heady days for her and her fans.
just rediscover this song..absolutely beautiful!!!!..song writing, poetry, musical arrangement at it;s best!!! One of the best songs ever.
Diana hit #1 in Billboard, 8-18-73. God bless ya, sister Diana. Hugs to ya, my dear.
So sad to hear about the passing of legendary songwriter and producer Michael Masser. He contributed so many incredible songs to the Diana Ross song book.

It gives me chills too, I was around 6 or 7 when this came out. I loved it back then and I still do!
This song means the world to me and initiated my interest and love of singing!
+Patricia Cheadle Don Cheadle's sister?
Wow haven't heard that song in over a decade. I still relax to it.

How this song brings back better times~~makes me sad~~~for our children and the music they have to tolerate these days..
beautiful
I used to listen to this song when I was a child and I felt it was about something different. Now that I know what it means I can't imagine someone else performing it. Diana clearly transmits all the sadness and emptiness of this wonderful song, perfect for the broken-hearted.
Undeniable classic.
This lady could sing!
I'm a distant relative of Art Carney.
What a beautiful song and Diana sang he heck out of it..
feel refreshed with this song - yes! love it! :D
EVERY NIGHT, JOHN EDWARDS JAZZ ON A.M. 1971. OPENED UP WITH ONE, CLOSED WITH LOVE DON'T LOVE NOBODY

Diana Ross is truly great. Her music is timeless.
She's the" BOSSEST "!!!!
It's been more than 3 decades that I haven't heard of this song. One of the songs that I grew up listening to and never knew what it was all about and I admire it even more now. Thanks for the lyrics on screen now I finally found out. Beautifully done!

I always associate Diana Ross with class. And classy records like this. Thanks for uploading.
My love was in my heart, and still is.
This song still makes me cry.
Diana Ross is a music icon there is nobody like her and there will not be
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SONG,I LOVED IT THEN AND I LOVE IT NOW. 👑
I have heard the criticisms & critiques of this lovely & true song. I must throw in with the crowd of you-tube kids who views this piece as a poignant representation of human emotions. Love is the greatest emotion we may experience; love is the most painful emotion we can experience...
Can't get enough of these songs. This is real music...
Another 70's classic.
simply love this lady and song ....the pleasure has been mine
This is such a strong love song..how many of us have felt this way..love her music...
Rest in peace, Michael Masser.
Your beautiful music will never be forgotten.:)
