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
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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 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.
@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.
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!
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.
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
" 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).
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
The Supremes and Temps hit #2 in Billboard, 1-11-69. Otis Williams. of the Temps did the male spoken part in the bridge. I guess the producer didn't think that Eddie Kendricks' speakin' voice was right for it. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!
What a great comment , well said, there`s nothing wrong with people saying how great they think someone is or a certain era of music being their favourite but so many people have to tie it in with negative remarks about contempory artists. my fave era is the 60s and 70s but I promise you there was a lot of crap about then as now.
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.
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!
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.

shadesamgazine, I was alittle older than you then, but my mother & I too watched them sing this song on the Ed Sullivan Show.

A song this good doesn't need a video. Besides, that picture captures it all.
Both versions of this song are great classics. With Stevie or Eddie and the TEMPTATIONS, classic Motown all the way. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS.
R.I.P. Great Music!!!
Completely and utterly brilliant.
Que bella canción con la gran interpretación de supremos y Diana ross

WHOOOOOOOO THIS SONG IS THE BEST
Just beautiful. I love it. And I want more of it.
Nothing strikes my Motown fancy more than this wonderful collaboration between some of my favorite artists.
I am still playing this song once a week-lol
No better Music than Motown.
Been listening since I was 12.
😊💜
Just reminds me of being little at my grandmothers house sippin on real homemade iced tea sitting under a tree...happy days :-)

They had the world greatest singers
I'm from Detroit (blow the reveille)!

Peace. Stay Healthy!
- Dave B.

Let's hope it's ONLY REAL BLACK PEOPLE appreciating THIS kind of heaven.
Lighten up Eddie 🤣🤣🤣🤣 don't hurt my lady Diana like that 😃😃😃😃😃😃
Great song
The Temptations
I'm gonna make you love me tony. There is no mountain high enough for me to get to you
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!
Eddie Kendricks voice the closet thing to god
Top Top Tamla. It doesn't get better than this.
amazing. one of the supremes' best...

Wow, sounds even better than in 1969 - like a great wine - only improves. (Especially with all the contemporary X-factor sh!t around) . . .
What a great comment , well said, there`s nothing wrong with people saying how great they think someone is or a certain era of music being their favourite but so many people have to tie it in with negative remarks about contempory artists. my fave era is the 60s and 70s but I promise you there was a lot of crap about then as now.
1:58
😳 OMG that's beautiful
2:01 Gawd, jeez!!
Fabulous! Just Fabulous!!
I passed up this great music in the 60's for bubblegum rock....This soul music especiallyt Sam Cooke, the Temptations, are phenomenol.
one of my favorite songs of all time and I have lived since 1793.
love Diana Ross
Incredible
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.
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!
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?
This tune goes down sooo smooth...
A favorite and good song that I never tire of hearing..
They are & always will be in our memories!!
great audio......LOVE THIS SONG.....thanks for posting it.....
