This is the original

The Marvelettes, along w/ other girl groups at Motown,

were overshadowed by The Supremes...


Nothing against them, but The Marvelettes were my fave biggrin

Besides Marvin's '70's output, I think that's one of the sexiest songs to come out of Motown. There's something about that song and "Don't Mess With Bill" that's really sultry and kind of dark.

Classic stuff...

WOW! I love the post and YES! The Marvelettes should get their DUE! It's about time and i'll be glad when Motown realizes that and release a anthology on The Marvelettes with some unreleased gems...I'm sure there is plenty in the vaults.....Gladys Horton & Wanda Young Rogers were both great singers and this is ONE of my Favs from them. Wanda had a voice that could COO and WOO and ride the groove under Smokey's direction....This one is CLASSIC!
