A bombastic hit for the Detroit Spinners. I used the original backing track to show off the magnificence of the Funk Brothers and James Jamerson's amazing bass lineand extend the track. - เพลง

Grooved to this in 1970/71 as a marine stationed in Quantico, Va., with my best friend Morris Williams from Tampa Fla. He's passed now, but everytime I hear this those times come flooding back. God those were good times and great music.Thanks Mosogotam
What the hell happened to all our beautiful music of the 60"70"80". it definitely a SHAME!
bassline is efffin killing...good lawd...James Jamerson.
them funk brothers yessir
Who is singing tenor?
The great James Jameson once again, killing dat bass baby.
BROTHER, WE SOUL PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO CLASS MUSIC.......
💐💐💐YESSSS!! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXTENDED VERSION OF THE SPINNERS🌹"IT'S A SHAME"💐💐💐
Gold. Born in 1962, grateful for the music of our youth. The music doesn’t age (like we do!), and the memories flood back. Where U were, who U were with, the power of hope, of the future. Life does administer lessons, set backs, challenges to all of us. Hang in there.
Bless you all.
Same here! I was borne the same year as you, when Stevie Wonder first showed his amazing talent! Blessings and love to you as well 💜
somebody please bring back music like this again Wil we ever hear music and artists like this again this is what real music sounds like.
Like a fine wine, gets better with age
Probably one of the 3 greatest Motown songs of all time-no question! Thanks Stevie. Another gem! Thanks GC for amazing vocals and thanks Spinners for amazing backing vocals. And those horns, that bass and sitar. Incredible! Hard to believe this is 53 years old. Can’t see any of todays rubbishy efforts being played in 53 years time-can you?
I remember stepping to this one in my first talent show 🤓🙏🏾
Hell NO!!
*BEST EXTENDED VERSION OF A SONG, EVER, HANDS DOWN!!! 💜💯*
Listen to the extended version of "Bernadette" by the Four Tops. I think you'd revise your statement!
@michaelconner1771 I'm just here to say YES YES YES!!! To That song "Bernadette " Extended Version. PHENOMENAL Track as well. And that End Part, Whew! Blessings. 😅❤
@shameanthomas2019
Ain't it good? I got my headphones on and it's just soooo good!! ❤️👍👏
This is the one for me! Hell to the naw. Cracked up at the opening and smiled and grooved in my chair for the duration of the songs. So glad that one of my all time favorite songs got the extended treatment. That guitar riff in this song makes it impossible not to move when you listen to it! Dude singing all the leads lol, had crazy range and vocal chops. Props to Stevie Wonder for writing this for The Spinners. Damn, wish I could buy this!!
That bassline is unreal!
THE BASELINE IS THE BIZZNIZZ!
I think its James Jameson playing Bass - even McCartney reckons he was the greatest Bass player of all time ////
Peter King he was without question!
What about that stout brother on Stevie's "Do I DO"?
That was The Greatest Bassist on Earth, The Late James Jamerson of Motown's " The Funk Brothers " Jazz Musicians that The Great Berry Gordy assembled to do all of his artist's music.
It's a shame today's music isn't this bad ass!!
im hearring its ashame by the spinners the Extended version its one of the greatest hits ever made .TheDeep soul full sounds are so orchistraded from the heart that its a sham that more people dont hear and recognize a true art that is passing in the windows of time its a shame
It's absolute garbage and they can't sing for shit!
Você é um 🤡ok
I grew up 80 miles out of Motown. This is my music. 50 years later I still get goose bumps hearing it.
Motown is THE BEST...so much raw talent....love it all....
50 years and 1600 miles from Detroit, same here
Who is singing tenor
I grew up across the river from Motown. To me it is still the best of my childhood. Thanks Motown, then.
Listen to those beautiful opening vocals. It gives me chills. I love old skool R&B!
+Regina Craig !Too bad it's such a rarity among today's young!
Regina Craig I'm tellin you I played this in the jukebox I don't know how many times.......I love this song 💛 right from the start that guitar throughout makes the whole song. 💛
Hear, hear!
Regina Craig Yes indeed, such a beautiful voice! ❤
can`t hear the autotune
His falsetto is OMG! I listen to this song growing up and always wanted my parents to rewind that part when he sings falsetto "Why do you use you me, try to confuse how can you stand to be so cruel, why don't you free me from this prison as I served my time as your fool" Yessss honey!
Yes, G.C. Cameron was a great R&B singer. Both in his natural and falsetto.
@@Greyareas27 GC is still out there.
I sing this whenever I can in performance, definitely a signature song for me. On my best day, I can nail most of the falsetto. At 61 though, it's a little tougher but I still got it. Extremely blessed to still be in the 🎯 game.
@@hossridr1 GC Cameron was a Lead singer for the Temptations 2003-07 and 2019
Awesome
Thanks black America for giving the world soul. Love 💘 from England
I once asked the question in some comments "what would the world be without us" I got more hate than anything.😝 I understood it though. Probably was more envy than anything 🙏🏾✌🏾 peace and blessings!🤓
I believe the boy wonder wrote this one for them👍🏾
@@WarrenHollyYes, Stevie Wonder did indeed write this song 😍
@@sweetblaqcoffey962 🤓👍🏾 I'm sorry. I was distracted watching this country self destruct. I told a racist years ago that until they do right by us and the 1st nation people of this country they will have no peace. Look at them now 🤔
The first time i heard this song was in 1975, i was only 12 years old. I still listen to it all the time. In my opinion, this is the greatest song the Spinners ever did. I love this extended version ~ :)
This extended version kills me, the way he extends the vocal track and then bringing the guitar in slowly and then highlighting the bass lines, damn, I'm in love (with the song)
I was 11 in 1970, this was one of the greatest songs that year. Pretty sure that is Dennis Coffey and Robert white on guitars. The electric sitar being the lead instrument. And of course, the incredible mr Jameson on bass. The mix is super and the vocals knock it out of the park.
dont forget the horns
I’m only 25 & love this song as if I was around for when it first hit the radios 📻🤞🏽💯
We stepped to this number at my first talent show. Lot's of fun
James Jamerson isolated bass line.!! Double treat with this post ❤
A Stevie Wonder classic!!!!
RIGHT! most people don't know Stevie Wonder wrote this! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 ❤
The greatest version of this song ever.
Play the tambourine Jack Ashford! Funk Brothers were undeniably AWESOME.
At 3:44 You can hear those dirty bass strings that James never changed.He was the total package. Melody/ Funk/ Timing. He stays funky through the melodic arrangement. Nuts
This generation today don't know real music. Ain't nothing like some good old school.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yesss. 👏🏿👍🏿🤗
Truuuuuuuthhhh!!!😂😂😂
That bass line though!!!!!! Love this song
My favorite Spinners song. I didn't think it could get any better and then you come along. I'm spent!!
The Funk Bros. with Jamerson on bass... Doesn't get much better than that!
louis duany Jamerson often imitated, never duplicated!
"The Hook"!
I Agree!!!!
Just when I thought this song couldn't be any more magical...pure masterpiece!! I love THIS!
where to start? the harmony, background music, World class musicians, just simply one of the best groups and songs.
EXTENDED VERSION ALWAYS SOUNDS GREAT.THEY HAVE HAMMER DOWN
THE G.O.A.T.
This is what I call a great music example!!
their vocals at pitch perfect and the bass is so good
my favorite spinners tune of all time .........what a group ......... !!!!!! with the funk brothers of course ....THANK U FOR THE UPLOAD .......
One of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. Written before my parents even met! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 Siiiiiinggggg Spinners!
Yeah! I believe the boy wonder wrote this one for them.
James Jamerson's bass is on the money son!
Perfect example of timeless music! Awesome remix.
I did some research and just came to the realization that G.C. Cameron sang lead on the original version. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. You're never too old to learn something new. Thanks for sharing this extended version---took my breath away!!!
Funk bros at their best. Damn.
Hell yes.
Alki Balboa Stevie Wonder was on Drums
@@debrawilliams7983makes it even better.
Alki Balboa indeed it does
@@debrawilliams7983 Stevie wrote this with Syreeta Wright
I'm not usually a fan of messing with the original recording, but hats off to "mosogotam" for this magnificent job, as far as I'm concerned you could extend this classic for an hour and you'd never hear me complain.
awoosoul...thanks so much for the great compliment! I appreciate it!
@@mosogotam you really deserve it ! Great job !
It was this very song that turned me on to mosogotam! I'm a big fan of your work! 🎶💜
Every song is a memory which I call memories treasures that no one take from all of us.
Simply one of the greatest soul songs on earth. Thank you for posting this extended version. I LOVE it!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤No Doubt❤❤❤❤❤At All❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am addicted to this song. Again! 47 years later. What kind of unholy madness and sweet torture is this?
I know what you mean. I have this Song on a Motown Compliation and I drove along and sang although I got some "Strange" looks.
Danny Linden I will always cherish this beautiful classic some songs are just too great for words do you agree? my era so damn happy! ! !
"Free me from this prison, and torture" that's the part I never knew and just mumbled, all these years!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!! RIP Cousin Wayne.
Yacky Snacky OMG This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own do you agree? I will always cherish this awesome classic real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN! !
Yacky Snacky My condolences Wayne is up in heaven with the angels AMEN! !
One of the groups that gave all the other groups a run for they're money. And top of the charts. "Spinners"👌👍
I was really young, but it turned out to be the happiest time of my life. The music of today doesn’t compare. I miss the beautiful vocals.
James Jamerson remained seated while recording this bassline, so you wouldn't when you listened to it.
Wouldn't what?????
Remain sitting....
Bill Slocum , wow!!! No words, when music was MUSIC 👊respect
James Jamerson probably owns 8 of the top 10 basslines of all time. Seems right since he is the greatest bass player in our universe.
Played with just one finger, what he called "The Hook"!
GREAT SONG FROM 1970 WITH G.C. CAMERON ON LEAD.
Yep, Phillipe Wynn's cousin
This beautiful song is a masterpiece, and I love this extended version. The Spinner's definitely bring joy to your heart. To watch them perform, a real treat. The choreography is always precise. They are great talents, and old school icons, hopefully, the 2020 generations will show them love and support.
Someone said Funk Bros. on this?! WOW not to neglect the gorgeous vocals! Perfection!
This is a great example of Stevie Wonder's writing skills! I loved this song from the beginning, but after learning that he wrote it, being a singer/songwriter myself, I appreciated it that much more.
Ditto on that. Stevie Genius at it again!
aaronrbrundidge, same here! This has always been my favorite Spinners song and before and after I discovered Stevie Wonder wrote. The Spinners I believe are so underrated.
A compositional mastermind
the best version of this song i have ever heard!!!
Bud Light...I appreciate it!
thank u!!
that guitar makes up 4 the whole song. i just love that guitar in the solo part.
I never knew there were other versions.
Even though the Spinners had more success with Atlantic and Thom Bell, this has always been my fave. "Shame" rocks! Motown's guitarists never got the credit they should have for laying down such licks.
Also, some of the greatest long versions - monumental in a couple cases - came out of Motown. Particularly "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and the plaintively magnificent "Papa Was A Rolling Stone".
This version of "It's A Shame" goes right up there. Terrific work. Putting this in my file NOW.
Stuart Stier
You Sir are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!!!!!❤
One of My all Time Favorites..Grew Up In Detroit..Loved it all..
My fav-by The Spinners. 💋
WHO EVER MADE THIS REMIX OF IT'S A SHAME. HAS A GREAT BEAT AND I LISTEN TO IT OFTEN. DANCING ALL AROUND MY APARTMENT. AND CAN NOT GET ENOUGHT OF THIS SONG I LOVE IT....
Wish I 😂😊could hit those "HIGH NOTES"😅
Me 2, Terry. 🤗
Just incredible !! What a bass line !
This was the last song they recorded before leaving Motown. They finally hit the Big Time at Atlantic working with Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff as part of The Philly Soul Sound.
Plus the great Thom Bell 👌
The Funk Brothers were still playing for Motown until 1973. That's when Mr. Jamerson was no longer under contract with Motown.
Yes. Don't forget tom bell!!!
@@rudyjackson2769 👍
I had no idea that Thom Bell worked with them. Then he along with Linda Creed (RIP) Co Wrote The Stylistics Songs. They were such a major influence. "You Are Everything" was the Love Anthem For Kevin Arnold & Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years and in 2001 it was featured in The Finale of the very First Pop Idol Show in The UK that declared a Winner. Gareth Gates (The Runner Up) sang it with Rachel Stevens formerly of S Club 7. Russell Tompkins Falsetto was a major influence on Barry Gibb of The Bee Gees and Jordan Knight of New Kids On The Block.
MASTERFUL!!!!! WONDERFUL JOB...takes me back 44 years youngest son was born.
It's a Damn Shame that the music of today is so messed up
MANUEL XAVIER true
It’s a damn damn shame!!
... music? Did you say MUSIC?!? 😤😲😖
kids today about selling records just to get paid now they dont care about making good music any more and then they wonder why there shit dont sell
younger fan base that dont nothing about real music
Love this version of It's a shame. They got it down.
Great song!!!I remember have heard it first time back in 1970...really a great song and great mix!!!
the song says it is a shame. It's no shame to listen to music so good you remember it always.
Oh man that is pure class, love it.wow and stevie wonder wrote it, wow.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉No doubt🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The bass line by James Jamerson is the absolutely bomb!!
I'm still pretty pissed The Mighty, Mighty Spinners are not in the R&R Hall of Fame yet. This stone-cold jam might become my new "Walk-In" music. I was literally stunned by the Jaw-Dropping bass playing by none other than the legend, the one and only Mr. James Jamerson. His bass playing just jumps off the record and is so funky, you need to open a window and let some fresh air in. His thick, fat bass tone and virtuoso playing simply dares you to not get up and move your hips. Hear him play one time and you will immediately recognize his sound on other great Motown hits. How he did all this with one finger continues to boggle my mind to this day. RIP James Jamerson. (The GOAT🐐)
This guys really know how to sing and play music love them
We as a people Have the most riches history in music,dance,fashion and art form..Our music takes you there and cradles you like a baby....Oh...None can compare..Soul..
Wow, what a beautiful song. One of my all time favorites by The Spinners. So much great music from the 70’s. So glad I grew up in that era. There will never be another like it.
I believe some of Smokey's writing style rubbed off on the Boy Wonder. They say he was like a sponge.✌🏾
They never received the notoriety they deserved. Fabulous and classy
This song was made to be extended 🙌🏾
What a wonderful arrangement. I thank you so much for sharing this. Marvelous lyrics, tremendous orchestration and what a fabulous job you did on this presentation.
Jimmy...thank you so very much!
Wow, what a terrific job! Great version of this song, I love it, will probably listen to it a thousand times more. G.C.Cameron's wail in this is historic, and you've done him justice right here.
Damn right. Now that's a Falsetto - G. C. CAMERON
This is a CLASSIC favorite. Those voices are sublime. Love The Spinners.
This song has always been a cool showcase for the great Funk Bros. Now, I really get to hear them in this edit. James Jameson never sounded better. Wow...great job!
Thanks, Mark!!!
Mark Morris
I agree Mark, Jameson is one of the greatest ever.
Two of the greats
I agree thousand percent. James & Ron Baker (MFSB/Salsoul Orchestra) are the two best in Soul/R&B.
The Spinners... the greatest soul group of all time. And that's saying a lot!
Straight up grown folks music heal thyself Dropping It Like It's Hot
Motown was just bad ass there will never be anything like it again in our lifetime
I'm 57 and grew up with this song. I've enjoyed most all the original versions of my childhood music best but this would qualify as that rare exception. I can only echo the many comments already posted, this is truly a listening pleasure. Thanks
The way you do the things you do, to music I loved then, and still. But to hear it remastered, reimagined, made fresh, new, often better, simply blows me away! (as in Laura Nyro's Blow... Blow.. Blowin"). And from me there is no greater praise. I worship Laura's music to this day. I can't stop playing your extended mixes.!! I can't thank you enough for there musical joy you have brought into my life. It would seem thousands of others agree! Keep em coming. Great music keeps people going. I'm one of them!
Great version!! Love the acapella vocals at the beginning!! And you hear the background harmony in detail without the lead vocal. Fabulous. One of my favorite tunes of The Spinners. Thank you for this version. Never heard it before.
Thank you for highlighting those wonderfully talented musicians as well as this outstanding group of great singers. Miss those days!
Love the 2 session guitarists!!!
Still boppin' my head to this jam all these years!
Well, mosogotam you really outdone yourself. I'm addicted to old Motown from that era as I grew up listening to this awesome music as a teenager and we're very picky and can get right down nasty when someone fools around with the original. But damn, dude, this mix is outstanding, the Spinners and all their loyal following will be so proud of this version. For those who always wanted to hear longer versions from the original group, this is a must add to your google youtube library. I just cranked up the bass and played it a few times over and over. Great memories. Great job.
+Nice and Easy AMEN! Ain't nuthin like dem old Motown & Stax 45's & 33's we used to kickit to all the jams! LOL! This was one of my all time faves! Spinners, Stylistics, O'Jays, Temps, Staples singers, Gladys & Pips, Rufus & Chaka, Jacksons, Stevie, Isley Bros, Sly & the Fam Stone, Funkadelic, Ohio Players, etc. etc. etc. & these are only the groups....WHEW!
+MrsD7777 Agree, Right On Brother!
I CANNOT get over this version, it is truly a masterpiece. At 52 years of age, i dance at work off it, i dance at home off it...as i do most everything you've done, my feet and my heart thank you!!!!
I've never heard that long version before. It was fantastic, the lead singer just killed it.
That's the great G.C. Cameron. Nobody sings this song quite like he does.
One of the best songs EVER
Great voices, lyrics but also a great backing band.
What a way to bring in 2019, listening to this song. I was 10 when this song came out in 1970. I love it more now than I did then. You're a genius!
OMG I agree with you all the way on those comments TRUE DAT! This beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree? MEMORIES WOW How about January 08 2019
@ShirleyButler, sis you speak the truth!
Dam good band very good vocals, and the lyrics are pure poetry, one of the finer songs of my Day, As A Musician for over 50+ years you know Eye have played it and still play that fantastic Song Peace
Damn! This is so good. Thank you for sharing this! Funk Brothers broken down with these amazing vocals. Magic.
Mosogotam, you are absolutely stinkin' SICK!!!! This is so TWISTED!!!! YOU ARE A MASTERMIX GOD!!!!!
This Spinners Song Is Just Fantastic 🎤
We were so blessed to have them perform at our prom in 1970 before we graduated from Eastside High School
composed by the one and only stevie wonder 1970..
And Syreeta Wright his first wife
When he (Wonder) was just 20 years old.
Syreeta and another guy besides Stevie
@@CHRISRepAZ She was a sweet beautiful woman. I was privileged to meet her and I tried to get her to sing with me.
@@iluvrachellef Really? I'm impressed! She was great, may she Sleep In Paradise.
good job this song was never long enuff....til now thanks
Beautiful job! I've heard this song of course but never really listened until recently, when I became obsessed with hearing it over and over. My partner asked why I played it so much back to back and I said it was because I was following a different element each time - this song is the sum of so many glorious parts! Thanks so much for this!
Thank you, Maargen....glad you enjoyed it!
@@mosogotamwhat happened to G C Camron
Jamerson took the Fender precision bass to whole new level, man
