Eddie Eddie Eddie! Lord Have Mercy! Noone can touch him when it comes to his falsetto singing. A couple of his replacements over the years sounded close to his voice, but absolutely noone can match his distinct beautiful falsetto singing. He tore this song up!!
I was 11 years old and my mother let me and sisters stay up and watch The Temps and The Surpremes sing this song on the Ed Sullivan show. Whenever I hear this song, I start ballin' like a little punk and I'm 55 years old. I remember the good ole days and miss them deeply.
This song was one of the greatest duets of the times, between the temptations and the supremes. Eddie Kendricks and Diana Ross melted our hearts with their singing
This is when artist were simply fabulous, there is no one today that you can call Fabulous, like Kendricks, Ruffin and the Boss lady, as a matter of fact they were all Fabulous; and so was this song.
Eddie Kendricks had a voice of an Angel, his voice had "MASS APPEAL" it was virtually impossible not to like it... SMOOTH as Ice. Him and Daviid, what a combination... Thank you GOD for them both...
Oh Lord Have Mercy! My baby, Eddie Kendricks. Whew! I get goose bumps everytime I listen to him sing, especially on this song. He sung the hell out of this song. It's like he put everything he had into this song more than he ever did. I love, love me some Eddie Kendricks more than any other artists ever and I am a music connisuer from the ol' school. He and Diana sounded good together. I wish we still had artists and music like this, but unfortuantely that kind of talent is a thing of the past.
I loved this song with my former girlfriend. We're no longer together but whenevr I miss her I play this video and remember her dancing to it with that sparkling smile and love in her heart. I miss you Lori!
They performed this on a TV show, in summer of 68. Just think all this love in the same year MLK and RFK were murdered,the Tet offensive in Viet Nam, the Democratic party riots in Chicago. The music is beautiful. It came out of desperate times. It is all about Love.
this was and still is a beautiful song. after all these years still sounding good. what a great time to have been at motown. eddie's voice is so angelic like. and there's only one diana ross. thanks for posting.
This is the real music. I was too little but I learned the music from my older brothers and sisters. And from then on it has been heaven ever since. The music they make today should be ashamed of themselves.
1ST RECORD THIS POOR ,LONELY WHITE BOY EVER BOUGHT.MY MOMS LOOKED AND SAID "WHAT IS THIS".I NEVER LOOKED BACK. THANK U EDDIE AND DIANA FOR THE SONG OF MY LIFE.......PEACDE.......BRAD
Fabulous! Just Fabulous!! This reminds me of the beginning of an era when my family and I would travel from Brazil to Terre Haute, IN (where we were orginally from) to visit my Uncle Bob and Aunt Rita, along with my wonderful cousins: Terri, Pam, Randy, Steve, and Stephanie Phillips!! It was a great time in my life!
Oh what memories,when music was very good and well worth listening too,when the ladies of music were ladies and didn't have to come on stage almost naked to sell the crap they call music.This takes me back to some good times in the 70s when I could say of the totp top 20 I liked 15 or more.Aint said that for many years now.
" I'm Gonna Make You Love Me ", in 1969, reached # 2 in the USA single charts, # 3 in UK , # 8 in CANADA, # 7 in AUSTRALIA, # 16 in NEW ZEALAND and # 27 in HOLLAND . Diana Ross is the only FEMALE SINGER to have received 3 PLATINUM records for singles : “ Someday will be together “, 1969 ( but certified by RIIA in August 1997 ) - “ I’m gonna make you love me “ , 1969 ( but certified by RIIA in August 1997 ) , and “ Endless Love” ( certified by RIIA in October 1981) . At the time, in USA, singles were certified platinum records for sales over two million copies).
One of many motown songs that I grew up with iam 56 years old today but still love singing along too great music they do not make music like this anymore
@jetbirdzme That`s one of the amazing things about music, just a few seconds of a certain song can transport us back into whatever mindset we were in at that time.Ok so we `nicey nicey` it up a little ( for me I remember every day being sunny when I was a kid........in England, yeah right !!!!!!!!! ) but so what, it`s a yummy feeling to enjoy a little slice of nostalgia every now and then, anyway thanks for your reminiscenses and your kind words.
My favorite singer that I could honestly say that had an elite voice , soo smooth and appealed to the masses, was Eddie Kendricks !!! Fellow Sagittarian and we were both born on December the 17th .... Richard Pryor , Bruce Lee, Jimmy Hendrix etc.. all sag's and all who inspired me
These songs are over the charts. This was the real deal.
This is one of my FAVORITE SONGS EVER!!!!
Me, too!!
Love This Song, One Of The Best Duets Of All Time, What A Treasure, Breathtaking.
Eddie Eddie Eddie! Lord Have Mercy! Noone can touch him when it comes to his falsetto singing. A couple of his replacements over the years sounded close to his voice, but absolutely noone can match his distinct beautiful falsetto singing. He tore this song up!!
I can tell his voice from them by a mile
this song introduced me to tamla motown then on to northern soul, my life changed for the better, for ever.

shadesamgazine, I was alittle older than you then, but my mother & I too watched them sing this song on the Ed Sullivan Show.
This song was one of the greatest duets of all times!!

I can never sit still while listening to Dianna Ross.

Eddie Kendricks had a voice of an Angel, his voice had "MASS APPEAL" it was virtually impossible not to like it... SMOOTH as Ice. Him and Daviid, what a combination... Thank you GOD for them both...
This sounds better than it did when I first heard it when I was 13 years old. I can't believe how fantastic this music is!
Oh Lord Have Mercy! My baby, Eddie Kendricks. Whew! I get goose bumps everytime I listen to him sing, especially on this song. He sung the hell out of this song.

Some of the best music ever produced
One of my dad's fave. I miss my dad. I love you, the late Jessie Ferrer.
He misses and loves you too
2nd Time Around what are you a medium
For real?? 6 tone deaf people voted no to this??? The best version of this song ever, amazing!!!
You know that this is some of the best lyric writing of all the MOTOWN HITS.....
I love Eddie's smooth, flexable voice. Puts me to sleep everytime I'm restless.
BEST OF BLACK MUSIC AND CULTURE
Let's hope it's ONLY REAL BLACK PEOPLE appreciating THIS kind of heaven.
MASTERPIECE !!!!! 2 forces of Greatness,,,it will never happen again !!!!!!
Music from the 60's and 70 were just so awesome!
That Eddie Kendricks...The brother was badd!
i'm gonna use every trick in the book ...oh my what a beautiful song.....love it .
wot duets - they cant better this in the 2010's with all their technology and gizzmos - pure soul is just timeless
love the Supremes. always make me think of spring, and summer. but regardless, just love them. Miss Ross, you are the best.
A true Diva
I love this song!!! Its sweet and touching... a different time indeed. Timeless love song!
I loved this song with my former girlfriend. We're no longer together but whenevr I miss her I play this video and remember her dancing to it with that sparkling smile and love in her heart. I miss you Lori!
No better Music than Motown.
Been listening since I was 12.
😊💜

It is all about Love.
One of my absolute all-time favorites, forever and always.
A song this good doesn't need a video. Besides, that picture captures it all.
James Jamerson Thank you for setting the standard so high ...All bass players stand on the shoulders of a giant
Both versions of this song are great classics. With Stevie or Eddie and the TEMPTATIONS, classic Motown all the way. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS.
Just reminds me of being little at my grandmothers house sippin on real homemade iced tea sitting under a tree...happy days :-)
I'm gonna make you love me tony. There is no mountain high enough for me to get to you
Sweet voiced Eddie Kendricks duetting with Diana. Nice.
Eddie Kendricks voice the closet thing to god
I am still playing this song once a week-lol
R.I.P. Great Music!!!
Diana Ross was born to entertain us. WOW!!!!!
They had the world greatest singers
Diana Ross had the most feminine voice I ever heard, and was the most womanly woman I ever saw.
squizza28 I agree but I'd like to suggest Diahann Carol as well. Both class acts.
DeVron83 Dinah was good but certainly up with the best. That belongs to Karen Carpenter!
squizza28 Dionne Warwick, anybody?
Completely and utterly brilliant.
this was and still is a beautiful song. after all these years still sounding good. what a great time to have been at motown. eddie's voice is so angelic like. and there's only one diana ross. thanks for posting.

just magical combination of terrific talents.
I loveeeee them . Every song they sang was so beautiful .
You go...DIANA.....HAS EARNED, IS LOVED, HAS PROVED, WORTHY OF RESPECT...THE ADMIRATION REWARDS
WHOOOOOOOO THIS SONG IS THE BEST
1ST RECORD THIS POOR ,LONELY WHITE BOY EVER BOUGHT.MY MOMS LOOKED AND SAID "WHAT IS THIS".I NEVER LOOKED BACK. THANK U EDDIE AND DIANA FOR THE SONG OF MY LIFE.......PEACDE.......BRAD

i think one of their best songs. I first heard it on the radio on thanksgiving evening 1968...i was only 12!
This is when music was great.
Reminds me of very warm, special times...
Nothing strikes my Motown fancy more than this wonderful collaboration between some of my favorite artists.
Diep respect!!!! hoe toen muziek werd gemaakt!
Dagelijks geniet ik van de temps en diana ross
one of my favorite songs of all time and I have lived since 1793.
Que bella canción con la gran interpretación de supremos y Diana ross
love this song...so romantic and very catchy...
Just beautiful. I love it. And I want more of it.
So beautiful song
Love this music grew up with it with my parents and I'm only 23 but feel like I'm 47 with the music I love!
REAL MUSIC

Steven Pleasant Wow didn't know that. I'm Dec 18th. Music has changed sooo much until it's sickening. Rip good olé days.
Yes indeed Hazel
Fellow Saggtarian
Eddie really showed his eliteness in this here one..
I always love that opening. I picture a beautiful woman walking the stairs in slow motion.
I passed up this great music in the 60's for bubblegum rock....This soul music especiallyt Sam Cooke, the Temptations, are phenomenol.
Top Top Tamla. It doesn't get better than this.
the very best duet ever
Wow, sounds even better than in 1969 - like a great wine - only improves. (Especially with all the contemporary X-factor sh!t around) . . .
Lighten up Eddie 🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't hurt my lady Diana like that 😃😃😃😃😃😃
The Temptations
i'd like to think MR. SWEAEPE , that all people who have a Soul * Spirit have embraced & Savored this Legendary Song .. count me in ....*
I just love this song. Always have ❤
A great calibration of two beautiful groups from Motown Records !
I sing this every time I meet a keeper cos I'm gonna do all the things for you a man wants a girl to do...oh baby..
One of the best ever tunes :)
why cant there be anymore music like this,people in the 60s 70s were spoilt with music ,were stuck with one direction and crap like that
This tune goes down sooo smooth...
Fabulous! Just Fabulous!!
A forever classic, with forever ❤️
Incredible
there is nothing like this anymore!
1:58
