I listen to this song EVERYDAY on my way to work!!! It gets me energized for the day! One of their best underrated disco era songs!

The Supremes recorded some great stuff in the late seventies. Including this song. Never saw this clip before -- thanks, this is just terrific.

I had this album and played it to death. I had the album cover hanging on the wall. Memories thanks for the memories ladies. Kurt Evans

You do have a cool aunt. I had the pleasure of meeting Scherrie in the eighties. She was so nice and down to earth. She signed all my albums and I felt so comfortable around her. A wonderful talent that truly deserves more that what she got. If she ever comes back here to Miami, I'll be in the Front Row! Her indescribable and phenomenal voice truly an amazing gift to everyone. SHE IS TRULY SUPREME.! Thanks Mikael

I used to play this in the clubs .... everyone loved this song.... I still do. Peace.

One of my favourite songs of all time.....I am so pleased to able to see it without having to get out that VCL player.

Already many years one of my favorites; love to hear the sound. GREAT!

This was a hit on the club charts! Love the fade out image reverb

How can you be a fan of The Supremes with comments like that? Mary was an ORIGINAL Supreme right along with La Ross and she deserves a lot of credit for being the only one who was there all the way through. Her solos, such as in "Floy Joy", are fine. She sang lead well, as did ALL 8 Supremes, come to think of it.

I was searching for another song but I stumbled upon this. Awesome.

This is still a Great song. What''s so sad is that some Radio Stations had literally thrown The Supremes not to the curb, but into rush hour traffic. When I first heard this song, I knew that it was going to be a major hit. I called many radio stations again and again. One radio station (WQAM) here in Miami continuously said they were waiting to see how this song takes across the country. Why wait,? Start the trend . Other stations claimed they did not have the song. Yeah Right!

This is another great song! And they were working it!!! I love the robot moves they were doing! Thanks for posting this ivyfield! :)

I agree about MaryScherrieSusaye...I LURVE that album.

Susaye Greene (The Last Supreme) is on twitter! Her tweets are very inspiring and she enjoys hearing from fans :) She's @Susaye if you would like to follow her. Besides being a singer for the legendary Supremes, Susaye is an excellent artist, photographer and Ambassador to California for Goodwill Treaty for World Peace.

I agree Don't wanne be tied down is FAB

Love this video of this song as well as "Let My Heart do the Walking" you posted.What voices Scherrie and Susaye have.I also love Mary's vocal on "You Are The Heart of Me" from their great final album.I still have it and play it as well as well as their previous 2.

Speaking of Scherrie, I saw her at my job which is Homegoods home store in Woodland Hills, Ca like 2 months ago shopping with her family. A customer told me it was her and I didn't even reconize her. she was very nice and signed an autograph for them. I met her family a week later when they came back. I told them how I was a fan. They were impress and said 1 day they'll bring her back to meet me personally. MotownMaster your a lucky person to actually have 2 famous aunts including Freda Payne.

I love this video and same with "Let My heart do the Walking!! Thanks!!

this was a great album.cant wait for the cd version!

Remember this one at the disco clubs. This one and "Bad Weather" were the Bomb back then ~~~

This song should have been a hit!!!

Some wonderful treasure hunter of this stuff needs to find us the "You Are The Heart of Me" performance from their Dinah Shore Show appearance (1976-77?) In it, Mary is wearing the diamond-studded skullcap she's seen in in the liner photos of the "High Energy" LP, and that she also wore to Florence's funeral. The song settles one question still kicked around in here to this day -- Mary COULD sing.

@MotownMaster I had the pleasure of meeting Scherrie back in the eighties. She invited me backstage and Autographed the "Partners" Album that also featured Susaye, along with the albums she (Scherrie) recorded as a Supreme. I really and truly enjoyed that evening; both the show and meeting her. Such a kind and graceful Lady, and a comedienne (smile) to boot. If she ever comes back to Miami to perform, I will be there. Motown Master', "U're absolutely right: SHE'S COOL! Thanks

i love their hair,make up and wardrope.mary looks amazing!

i liked this song and the lp. thought SWEET DREAM MACHINE was the best cut. the girls look and sound great.thanksfor posting this vid.

I COULDN"T agree MORE!!!!!!!

This was on the final Supremes album "Mary, Scherrie & Susaye". Also, I THINK Mary was pregnant with her SECOND child in the clip, her oldest son. She was pregnant with Turkessa on the cover of their 1975 album "The Supremes" which was about a year and a half before this, when Cindy Birdsong was still a member. Could be wrong, though...

that is susaye green, from newbirth..i played trumpet on this song written by stafford floyd and reggie brown, altho other names appear as wtiters. I saw this song being written, arranged and Brian Holland putting his special magic on the production RODNEY BROWN

Mary a great dancer-perfect!!Susaye flails around at times.

After buying this album, I just knew this was going to be a Major Hit . Calls were constantly made to different radio stations, only to be greeted with excuses such as:" We don't have it song ", "Never heard of it" and finally the best excuse of all "'We're waiting to see if it takes across the Country" How Sad! This song is the Perfect example that Motown did not t kick The Supremes to the curb. Motown PROJECTED them into rush hour traffic, going in the opposite direction.

I ain't trying to fight...just sharing. I seem to be the opposite of many. I find "Touch" to be such a sexy song. I really like the groove, but I just do not understand why people liked "Nathan Jones." I mean, I even turned a friend onto it, and she loves it. I just can't imagine that people could even dance to it back in the day. Just for the record,I really like the Supremes, and I think that Mary does really well on some stuff. I would love to hear more Cindy.

Wonderful LP: MARY SCHERRIE AND SUSAYE. This is one of the cuts. This was the last Supremes album (of new material).

@TheReturnOfBigBear You are HILARIOUS!!!

Actually Mary was pregnant with her son Pedro (b.1977), Turkessa was born in 1975. she's clearly under-rehearsed, but then I guess that's only to be expected when 5 months pregnant.

sweet dream machine is THEE JAM.

Lol...@ blancface- and71starboy. Still through the good and the bad the supremes were one of a kind. Thanks for posting.

OMG! It took me a while to realize that was Mary!

Agreed as far as Flo, not mary. Her one little can't take my eyes off of you, was more than enuff for her to handle. Flo would have been great on some R&B romps like Jimmy Mack or My Baby Must Be A Magician. Flo had a lot to offer, I miss her.

@bobo4890 this was on the MARY,SCHERRIE and SUSAYE LP coming out on cd in may

Yep and ready to drop!

This track, Let Yourself Go ( with You Are The Heart of Me on the flip) all got out as 45s from "Mary, Scherrie & Susaye" but I thought the strongest cut was the defiant I Don't Want To Be Tied Down. No, the singing and the material was never going to be as great again as the H-D-H glory years, but this LP came out when I was 22 and livin' some honeymoon days ... so I'll never attack it. Still got the album too. :)

i just wanna dance!

I LOVE IT WHEN THEY DO THE ROBOT

obviously! When Jean relieves Mary in Floy Joy it's like a calvery of rockin angels has come to the rescue. THAT's when the JOY part begins!!!! And thank GOD they didn't let Mary near Your Wonderful Sweet Love!!! Smokey let Mary sing that line solo as a favor to Diana who was still trying to promote her little tone-deaf buddy from the old days.

Say it again!!! Mary tore that song up! It's the last song on The Supremes box set.

Scherrie told me when her and Susaye did the Partners album she thought the Lovebug song was the silliest thing she had ever heard, and now she says its her favorite cut on the LP, lol

@MotownMaster Tell her I LOVE her voice!!!!!!

Yes - evryone should rememer that this was made and released when no-one else had made a music video. It's way, way before the Madonna's/Whitney's era!

This was always my favourite Mary, Scherrie, Susaye song. It should have been a huge hit. What were Motown thinking by not promoting it properly?

And baby if you saw her - that's a lot of tissue right there!

I think this should have been their first single when Sherrie joined the group. But I think Berry Gordy could've cared less about them once Diana left. No matter what they put out, it wouldn't have gotten promoted. This song should've been a hit.

I believe that is Mary in the middle, pregnant with her first child Turkessa. I know that is Sheree Payne on the left, but I do not recognize that girl on the right. I lost track after Jean Terrell and Cindy Birdsong left.

i ove that move scherrie does at 2:28

I understand where you're coming from but check out the other groups from '75 to '80... Labelle, The Emotions, Pointers all "loosened up" their choreography - partly because some of the disco stuff was just soooo fast!

cool Scherrie is my aunt!

I stand firm by my above statement. Berry was a genius. Imagine Syreeta and Jean could've done posthoumus duets with Flo's unreleased material a la Natalie and her Dad.

Hey, Right ON! I couldn't have put it better myself.

Harmony is when more than one melodic part is sung simultaneously, at an interval distance of at least a musical 2nd away from each other... a musical part that is exactly the same, or 8 whole tones above or below is called unison...

Do you have the take of "Driving Wheel" from the greatest hits album with the pictures of eight of the girls on the front? That's my favorite take of this song, which is my favorite Supremes song, of any of the line ups.

She is movin'!!! Pregnancy didn't slow her down ONE BIT!!!!!! She'd pregnant here with her oldest son, Pedro, Jr.

She was pregnant with Pedro Jr. in this video.

Mary had Turkessa before CINDY LEFT!

Actually Turkessa was born in '75...... (she's pregnant with her on the cover of the Supremes). This was the first boy..... can't recall his name!

She was wearing the 'pregnant' version of the gowns at that time. They had one for alot of the gowns!

Man! Talk about out of it! That was the 'PREGNANT' gown version of the outfit! Need I say MORE?

@Liberal1969 I a gree. I think they were three brilliant albums. a new direction, atmospheric and very danceable.

The Supremes were so much better after Miss Ross walked - what a pity Mary doesn't seem to know what's going on xx

This is on my "Desert Island Top Ten" list! I like the version on the 70's Supremes Greatest Hits better, though.

So my ideal 60's LP would have consisted of... 6 leads from Diana, 4 from Flo and 2 from Mary. Though you often have to will her to make the note(!) Mary did have a pretty unique timbre.

@ivyfield -well, exactly. But that's what more-so distinguished The Supremes FROM the other groups. They did something different than the other ones' 'differents'! And it was extreme class, which THESE girls HAD! It's just that by this time, they had been sooo disrespected that they wanted soo much to be noticed for what they were....and even in reviews, it was stated that they came off like the 'shouters' at first. Mary Was Wild in this. But Susaye didn't know the steps always...

one song, maybe. the Supremes back-up parts were the most elementary of all the groups.

...and if Flo and Mary had not asked if Diane if she wated to be in THEIR group.........

@dmanLVN The Supremes "You're My Driving Wheel" is hot but from that last album the best cut is "Don't Wanna Be Tie Down"

yeah definitly caffeine involved or is a certain dynamic powder.... hehe you can even find it just backstage here...ok i'm the villain this time...but this is definitly not for children...look how wildly they moves...and that s good - i just imagine all the powerful feelings involved when you dance like that...it's full of sensation of freedom...specially in the 2nd part... a must say a more propulsive freedom...this make the difference with early 70s stuff with slower freedom kindofmoves

This should have been a hit like Thelma and linda clifford's.

Yes, that is Mary in the middle with the bat wings, lol!

That Susaye Greene, (third girl?) reminds me of the Julie McCoy character on the Love Boat , she has got the same hairdo and look!! too much! Girl work it!!!

So this was the inspiration for Beyonces Single ladies video?

@oceanbound222 LOL...Flo and Cindy are NOT EVEN IN THIS VIDEO!!! By this time Flo and Cindy were no longer in the Supremes! This is Sherrie Payne, Mary Wilson, and Susaye Green!

I just hate there is no video for Sweey Dream Machine...that's my favorite song on that album.

i an not talkin about letting her stand on stage one night at knott's berry farm.

There is another take of this song on the album with the eight pictures of the different ladies in the group on the front. I like it better, the music is a little different, and Scherrie really rocks it at the end. Do you have it to upload? Oh, this is one of my desert island top five!

Now, now...

Eer, hello! She's the heavily pregnant one who dropped Turkesssa soon after the shoot!

Is that Mary in the gown with the bat wings then?? I can't regaonise her as being any other one than that girl, Is that right?

Yes, I'd go with that up to a point. Flo was a potentially 'great' lead if she'd been encouraged/nurtured more but in terms of HDH 'hit' material it's difficult imagining anyone improving on Ross. Having said that there was an untapped catalogue of 'weightier', more blues/jazz tunes that Flo might have soared on.

Jean is the definition of quiet fire even if Smokey came up with the term. She has one of the prettiest and smoooooothest voices ever, yet the Sister could BURN; never one holla, not a scratch in her tone. JT's LOVE THE ONE YOUR WITH is even better than HerMajestyTheQueenofSoul, TheAlmightyFire,SoulSistaNumero#1: ARETHA'S version!!!

I don't know my Supremes history so my question is where is Diana Ross? Was this the time that she left the group already or is it she wasn't part of the original group and came in later? :)

Mary SO had dental work by this point.

It was still Jean and Sherry on 95% of the leads. Do you even own the post-Devine Diana Supremes material? Mary didn't even attend most of the Tops/ Supremes sessions;that was just the Tops(Levi) and Jean. Of course Mary was front and center for the album photos as always.

@Liberal1969 Your wish (and that of many others, including myself) is coming true on June 27 ...

You are clearly a Mary Fan. She is clearly THE ONE out of step throughout this entire video. The other's get out of step because Mary has thrown them off. You can be a fan all day but you also have to be honest. lol

Great song. It is such a shame that Gordy allowed Wilson to manage this property. I truly believe that with skilled management The Supremes would still be as popular/current and singing today (I guess in a sense they are with FLOS)

NO it isn't! They ALL were if you 'watch' closely! These were NEW routines. They were always learning new routines or adjustments and stuff, and it often left them out of sync, because they never got to 'KNOW' a routine well enough before it changed! TOO many hands in the pot working trying to bring them new ideas and things is the problem! Scherrie was the 'coolest' one about it, and she could be, because she was 'leading'! This was a 'chaotic' time for them.

It was the single, but MOTOWN did'nt get behind the way they should have...

Well neat video...Scherrie's vocals are well funky, shame about Mary's well SAD dress sense did she borrow that friock from Demis Roussos or cuite Tina Chrales...was she expecting or something...she really should have taken it easy with them Hyper disco steps or at least remembered them...already!!

She and Pedro fucked the other "salaried" Supremes over like Tina & Ike did to the Ikettes. DIANA SANG ON THE HITS, FLO, WHICH SOLD MANY MILLIONS AND HAD LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD FREAKS LIKE ME GLUED TO THE RADIO WAITING FOR THEIR SONGS TO COME ON. Their amazing popularity was already cemented thru the radio, before TV elevated them to another level. ROSS IS THE VOICE, follow Cheryl Lynn's advice and know that we: GOT TO BE BE REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'D GO WITH 5 SUPREMES AS LONG AS mary WAS OUT! ALL THOSE WONDERFUL WOMEN ALL COULD REALLY SING BUT HER! MARY EVEN BLOCKED FLO'S CHANCES CUZ SHE WOULD DEMAND A SOLO IF FLO GOT ONE. AND YOU KNOW BERRY COULDN'T PUT OUT TRASH BY MARY AND MAINTAIN SUPREME QUALITY. BERRY EVEN MADE FUN OF HER INABILITY TO SING! FACE THE FACTS. HAVE YOU HEARD SUSAYE'S BRILLIANT SOLO WORK. LYNDA DOES A HEART-BREAKING DUET WITH THE LATE GREAT SINGER NILLSSON(without you and everybody's talkin)_ ON baby i'm yours.

that's what I'm sayin,best1. Nobody ever talks about how Mary put Diana to shame as the Queen Bitch of the Supremes. Diana was selfish and ambitious but Mary needs to be in prison for all her mean shit. Sherry Jamms on this. This is up there with the best of Ross and Terrell.
