This music deserves to be played on free [AM & FM] radio, but the broadcasters prefer junk music over fine music. That is why their listener shares are lower than the Forest Glen.🤣

@Inquiring I just found out a couple of weeks ago!! Imagine my shock!! I was indeed grieved by the news. So sad to hear but his remixes will live on! John will truly be missed.

@@megaoldskool76 ... Indeed, I endorse everything you've stated - and we can think of John every time we play his mixes.

He helped me on the road to healing.

Thank you for the information, may he RiP - he put a lot of effort into his extended remixes for us to enjoy.

Have mercy! Perhaps I never saw the "gentleman" in my entire life, I do fervently regret that John Perrone died. His works were higher than high, and beyond outstanding.

Me Too...My folks use to play this constantly.

Cousin Smokey, smoked 'em...all around talent

I talk so fast that I forgot her last name was one of the young I'm sorry love you Wanda Young

They were very good

I must confess that when death strikes someone, one begins to rest in peace, regardless of the place where the person died. However, I am fortunate or lucky to capture this fine music on KZfaq. Free [AM and FM] radio would not play it anymore, except to hear whisps of it in a commercial. This fine music is my speed, and no new stuff could replace it from me.

Rhythm guitar "fill ins" are great 😂😊

Sax solo by Norris Patterson.

I wish The Funk Brothers received the credit they deserved.

Yes indeed, and also to the other half of his back beat none other than incredible drummer William Benny "Papa Zita" Benjamin Jr. Not to take anything away from the other incredible Funk Brothers musicians, but those two were the very foundation and back beat of the Motown Sound. It's kind of ironic to me how both passed at similar ages after similar professional and personal challenges.

There are some more lady groups and more that are as sweet as the Marvelettes. You will never find them in Rap and Hip-Hop music. They are not my kind like our fine music.

For Sure!!!!!!!!

I love the extended version!

Ppppp

L

what's this with { Vintaged music } serious. correction { CLASSIC R & B OLDIES }

Me too

The Marvelettes were my first favorite lady group. This extended song is grand, but I regret to know that John Perrone died.

Monte Allen The Name of Jesus is Sweet!

Right!!!!! 💃🏾

Also, include The Temptations, The Four Tops, Martha and The Vandellas, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Junior Walker and the All Stars, Mary Wells, The Contours, and The Originals. Need I continue! Hitsville worked like a factory instead of a recording studio. It is no wonder the way that many of the Motown artists left Motown, and The Funk Brothers died young.

Yes, bien d'accord avec vous.

John....many thanks for your very kind words!!

You got pure taste. You act like a gentleman more than you would ever say. If anyone does not like it, they had better "kiss off" and get with the program, while they continue to live on borrowed time. Life is too short to be miserable.👌

Only reason Supremes got more popular was Gordy wanted an act to crossover for white audiences, plus he was trying to get into Diana"s pants.

Preach the truth

Exactly. And that’s it, and that’s All.

The marvelettes have a whole bunch of really really really good songs especially the day you take one you got to take the other which is my favorite right now Martha and the vandellas got some good songs to just you just got to be on here and keep you to change my life

@@ELPIOJOBOLUDO El Piojo no es un nombre bueno! But you're right about Gordy!

You're too good to me, Sam!!!

Who?

Oh , the SWEET, Sweet Memories ‼️

Two badass lead singers What can I say They both contributed to the legacy of Motown

Maybe because Wanda was married to Bobby Rodgers that Smokey preferred her to Gladys. Wanda was the lead on the Smokey written cuts.

Interesting insight thank you for your imput much appreciated.

Wayne Brasler I really like your inside info! I thought that was a Smokey Robinson song! I know Jameson was on bass, but do you know who was on the lead guitar?

Did Katherine ever lead a song?

Yes siree

And you better know it best choreography of all time I'm a female group I love me some Wanda Young

The marvelettes choreography, like that of most of the early Motown acts, was designed by the legendary cholly Atkins, who was on staff in Detroit as the label’s chief stage choreographer. He designed steps for the Supremes, temptations, Smokey Robinson and the miracles, Gladys knight and the Pips, and the Jackson 5, among many others. Even after Motown let Atkins go when the company made the move from Detroit to Hollywood, some of the acts, including the Spinners, during their Atlantic Records years, independently commissioned Cholly to create their steps.

They had a better stage presence than that of the Supremes.

They were gorgeous outside and inside.

MakupNluvMusic A

Well stated.

yes all the way

Isn't Wanda married to one of the Miracles? Pete?

@@septiawoman2911 pete past away.

ONCE AGAIN I TOTALLY AGREE.

Better than the Supremes!?!?!? Not a chance in a black moon....

I wish these [marvelous] Marvelettes were still alive and living with us.

brandx....thanks so much for your kind words!

brandx01 I second that!!

Also Georginna Tillman... RIH

I am with you on this one.😢

Ndeed!!!

The Marvelletes absolutely need to be in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame while Wanda,and Katherine are still alive to witness their hard work, and contributions to Motown Sound!!!! Please keep putting their name through. 🙏🏽

Motown music was the greatest music of our times, not to forget Atlantic, Brunswick, Stax, Chess, Checkers, and the other record labels that were with us before. Also, The Funk Brothers would deserve the credit for helping the fine music come alive.

Their lead singer Wanda had it going on.

jojamful Everything about them is elegant! Their presence, hair and 👗 dress! I think that they were before the Supremes, but I am not sure; if they were, they are a great way for Mrs Ballard and Co. to start their own careers- Barry Gordy's done it again!( with the help of Bill "Smokey" Robinson,who wrote the smart,catchy tune)...

Sam....I DO appreciate it...thanks!

ALso, My Baby Must be a Musician, with Melvin Franklin of the Temps helping out at the beginning!

The best girl group ever came out of Motown

Sad but True SMH

@@adriennerobinson1180 most dont have talent anymore,sad.

Also, today's music artists do not dress, behave or speak with refined manners and thoughtfulness as did the musicians of old.

WHAT A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL.

HARD STEPPING , WELL DRESSED COOL YOUNG MEN THAT WERE MEN BY THE AGE OF 18 AND PROVED THIER WORTH IN EVERY REALM OF OUR LIVES., WE WERE RESPONSIBLE YOUNG TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS..

Southside!

Chi town Woodlawn bopping

Walter Carpenter I saw Gladys Horton on tv three times and in-person performing two times. She sang this same song on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve Show. Gladys was the keeper of the flame for the Marvelletes.

Not at all, looks capable of doing something dangerous to to someone.

Thanks a lot, Derek!!!

LOL

So sorry for your loss...

SIP

Rest in power Bill

Fight & keep.the power!!!!!!!

It's good and right to remember our friends. Cheers to bill brother.

I loved the marvettes

She could sing that song

These girls were so smooth
