@@johndough2243 What she said. For a contemporary song, try (1963) Monkey Time, by Major Lance. Both about the same time... Wasn't even 'Motown' or Soul (yet, far as we knew,) just "Colored Music." But raw and pure and so talented that when the Beatles showed up too it just overwhelmed the whole generation and we just 'became' the Sixties and every single thing that implies.
@johndough2243 Actually song came out in 1963. I danced to it at Saint Peter Claver Academy in San Antonio. It was on the Cooley High song track in the 1970s.
I remember getting in trouble playing this jam, too loud and its to late at nite. Ok moma😂 Just Dance, dance, dance, the whole song.......💃🎶🎶💃 How could you not?✌&❤
My father used to sing this song when I was a child. Mostly to tease me a bit. Later I found out that Mothers finest also made a version. And I remember my parents loved both artists and had the albums. So now they are both passed away and it ll always be a secret which 1 was the "drive". Anyway I love it so much now and makes me think back about my sweet parents...
I remember when I was a young kid we use to watch smokey Robinson & miracles at the neighborhood theater. this was a good song everybody danced off this song.
Incredibly good song. It was also on the the soundtrack of the Emilio Estevez film from 2006 about the last day of politician Bobby Kennedy. Motown has truly stood the test of time.
fntime yes i agree with you on that , before 65 they had that raw authenticity they weren't so polished ? kind of more natural ? i liked that too ! but going to a go go onwards things changed didn't they ? but i've been a miracles stalwart "from the beginning" i even had an LP by them called that ! ha ha "since you won my heart" is an old fave of mine , along with countless others ha ha nice talking to you
Dusty brought Tamla to us here in Britain after they toured here a year before and hardly anyone came - when Dusty had them on Ready Steady Go, we all heard them and never looked back - remember seeing Smokey for the first time on that TV show - going crazy dancing!!
I just turned 50 and I remember my Mom's & Pop's listening to this gorgeous Mo-Town music, growing up in the Lower East Side of Manhattan NY, those will forever be great memories . QUICK QUESTION; WHERE THE F**K IS CC CAMERONS - " IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOOD BYE TO YESTERDAY" ? I MEAN THATS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST SINGLE AND MOST IMPORTANT SONG OF THE WHOLE MOVIE ... WTF lol
This song came out the same year as I met Murl. I am very sure the spelling is that way. She was so beautiful, and ALL lady. She acted 21, even though she was 15. Things were "warming up" more than expected, but one night, she started dancing with another guy. She was giggling, and at I. Was really hurt and walked out. Mother kept asking "what's wrong? I can tell something's wrong." Murl called thrice. Waited for her to come and beg. It did not happen. Only saw her once after that. A year and a half later, I called to invite her to a party. She said she was going steady. Tried to get a hold of her a year later and failed. Called her best friend late that December. She said that Murl and this guy were pretty serious. So sad. Murl, four or five beautiful souls have e-mailed me, every one saying that they sympathize and hope that I see you again. Murl, we would have had a great life together. I would have made millions in the stock market, inventing something or starting a prosperous business. Had I tapered off in motivation, you would have motivated me. Do want to see you again. Have so many questions and believe you have thousands of questions for me. We will rejoice together forever in an actual, physical, real location called Heaven. But still feel the overwhelming urge to see you down here. Love and admiration: you know. You still remember my name, right? Murl, every one calls me "Rocky". Very shortly after I last saw you, began an intensive weightlifting program. Became very strong and grew large muscles. May have helped as I'm still very active and have boundless energy { usually }. You were born in May, am I correct? I should remember the exact date. May 14? Should have asked your Middle Name? Hey, maybe I did! Is your middle name "Anne"? Love and admiration: Rocky My handle { User name } is Nextaxpro
This is not the DNA of music, this is music itself, and it doesn't exist for you or your ilk to slice and dice like letters out of a magazine and paste them to your ransom letters to society.
When this record came on at parties, everyone got up to dance!
Edmund Vitale I BELIEVE YOU. ONE HELL OF A BEAT.
I love it, I was only 11, my cousin & I used to swap albums, & she gave the this one, b/c she got tired of it

You can say that again. I remember the jute boxes in most restaurants when this came out. Good ole days.
