Junior Walker & The All Stars ~ What Does It Take (To Win Your Love) 1968 Soul Purrfection Version
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 เม.ย. 2021
- Welcome to Motown Monday!
The very first Billboard recognized R&B Chart topping single was "My Girl" by the Temptations and it spent six weeks in that spot until Jr Walker's & The All Stars blasted it out of its way and spent four weeks topping that new R&B with "Shotgun", a #4 Hot100 hit in 1965.
Johnny Bristol remembers that in the early 60's he and partner Jackey Beavers were performing at the same Battle Creek, MI club as was Junior & His All Stars who proved why they were so popular because they were able to play blues, rock, jazz and soul.
This was their second #1 R&B spending two weeks in that top spot and peaking at #4 pop, a gorgeous mid tempo Motown classic written by Johnny Bristol, Vernon Bullock and Harvey Fuqua who was once of the Moonglows and later on became the man that helped Sylvester attain mainstream status.
The real star of this song is that wonderful saxophone, it was like the sun breaking through on a cloudy day. The voice, well Jr Walker did not feel he was made to sing, but sing he did and the results were impressive. The first 35 seconds was Jr Walker's sax and then the vocals came in. James Jamerson and the rest of the gang were there to play the music updating the signature Motown sound. Jr's last pop appearance was for 1970's "Do You See My Love" a #32 chart hit. - เพลง
No matter how many times I hear this that Intro is a killer.
..oh,yeah,it's like a time machine...!
Love junior Walker he inspires us all to enjoy music

White as they come. Motown was the best. Brought us all together. Nothing will ever take that away. Love it at 67 myself. Going to love till the day I die. Passing it one to my grandkids now.
This tune is from 1969. A GREAT year for rock-Motown music!!!!!!
April of 1969..Just finishing up 11th grade...hard not to cry sometimes...still walking around at 70...every day is a gift..
OMG J Sharp You just hit a homerun with those comments 🎯🥰

am 41 and this song satisfy my ears
Truly!! a Timeless Classic.
I'm a 58 year old retired philly Police Sgt. and this song reminds me of summers with my mother, father, aunts and uncles doing there thing at great family barbeques in the back yard. They are all gone now, but I still copy my uncles dance to this whenever I hear it. It makes me feel good but my eyes gets watery every time for some reason. lol
Great story and thank you for sharing
Very cool...
Makes me think of the park pool in Pennsville NJ. I get a little misty too my friend.. Gotta play it again......
❤❤❤❤❤met the love of my life that year. This song reminds me of him
Yeah man😢I'm with you on that one brother ,those really was good old years
The best sax anybody could ever have.
To those who remember and to those who have learned,bow your heads in sorrow that good music is no longer made,,,now give utube a big kiss 💋 for these gifts
Why can"t we have music like this anymore? The sounds of horns and a chorus were such a great sound compared to the empty, soulless garbage that gets dumped on us today.
You are so right…I suspect that real music, layered music, takes work ethic and talent. Young people today have neither. They have no idea what they’re missing and what their memories will lack.
A….men!!
The progressives killed it their celebration of Rap
Soooooo True!!!!!
I agree with you
I'm 77yrs old now and I was definitely alive when this came out, 60's were the best musical era ever, Tamla Motown, Stax, Atlantic, Chess ect classic soul labels, god i miss this Jnr Walker tune.😢😢
None better! Never will be
I'm 76yrs old. We remember the club in Houston to which We would Dance too!! AWESOME
Ya I'm 77 I agree bro😊
It's fab at 75! 🥰💜
WOW just mentioning those labels brings Joy and happiness 😄 imagine how Good The music 🎵🎶🎵 we are the chosen 😊hehe
I could never tired of
this song
I was nine years old when this song came out. I’m the youngest of three daughters who lived and breathed AM pop & rock music, Their radios were on 24/7, as a result, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to the greatest hits of all time.
Like this one. Jr. made me a fan of dirty sax solos for the rest of my life.
Awesome song, I am 77 years old, and I still go back into the 6o's to hear these songs I just love them
Me too
I’m 72 and these were days I will always treasure music and all the good times 🥰🥰
That's all I listen too! Oldies but goodies!!!
Me too 77 still rocks 😊
I'm 74 and right there with you brother.
I was 16 when this was made and it started me on my journey of love and happiness
This song deserves billion of views. It's the creative peak of Motown sound. It's brilliant in every way.
Don’t think the single was actually on Motown but still incredible music
@@user-hv8vu8dg9x Pure Motown. 100 %.
@@user-hv8vu8dg9x
It was on Motown.
The VIP label.
Berry divided the company into several record labels to get his records played,
and to not pay payola.
❤
Soo true, what heavenly music 🙏
I heard this in 1969, it's 2021 and I'm 71 yrs old I still get that great feeling when I hear it, I was very much in love with a special person in Chicago, my god what a song,and what a 🎷 sax gonna blow for you now
WLS in Chicago!
I’m 72…was 18-9 when it first affected me..
From Tonny to Tony. I feel you Brother, Amen. Peace!
Kudos to all of us Baby Boomers..we lived through great music and turbulent times..Peace and Love to all@Tony Waldon@Linda V. Johnson
Your. So. Right. I'm. With. You**†*
Growing up in the 70’s was the best times in any generation we had all the classics
Best sax player in the world
OMG Sandy You just hit the ball out the ballpark with those comments 🎯🥵💃🫶😛😘🥰😭 Still listening how about March 21 2023
This guy is good, no question. But you may want to listen to a few more sax players before you make a statement like that!
Don’t make music 🎶 like this anymore can listen to this all day everyday ❤️
In '69 we were 16 & 14..... goin' steady ..... slow dancing and smochin' to this tune........ Been married 51 years now.
I was 13 when this was released. I babysat for a couple down the street. They had a fantastic collection of Motown, R&B, Blues, LP’s. Loved going there because I was allowed to play any I wanted. Fell in love with this song IMMEDIATELY! My first introduction into soul music. 50+ years later I still get that rush of excitement the minute those opening notes start. ❤❤❤ Once a soulie always a soulie.
Thank you Junior for teaching this old white boy what soul really is...!
This is CLASSIC! You do not hear music like this anymore. Now these are PROFESSIONALS.
I hate to admit it but we're getting old folks and that's probably what our parents and grandparents before them and their parents before them said the same thing the music today doesn't make any sense to me so I don't think we're that off we just love good music.
Feels good kind of music inside WOW love this song
thomas franco, I agree. I'm so thankful at 12-13 years old my Mom (RIP MA ✝️🕯️) let me join Columbia Record House Club & I ordered this cool album, played it in my room, dance by myself or journalled to my my heart's content🖋️📚. Beautiful music, good memories.
Be blessed all, 👵✌️💖.
well you either own it or you just go back to it and I just go back. nothing like it
@@margretgriego9511 I remember when I used to listen to Creedence Clearwater Revival when I was a teenager and my father used to say that is DOPE MUSIC. Now he listens to their music at 90 years old. That is so funny.
I sang this to my love when we met in 1969. We were married in 1970 and he passed in 2010.
My love of my life….
He's not dead, he's just hiding.
I am sad for your loss, but I rejoice for the love you found.
Sounds like a beautiful life❤️
Sorry to hear that Tricia God bless both of you
So sorry for your loss!
Timeless Tune...forever in my heart❤️

Racism was horrible but the music and culture were good. Despite the bullshit we had a great time. Think you can better? Do it.
And me a sax I’m in heaven
This American-Sicilian says THANK YOU a million times to MOTOWN for bringing such great music to so many!
John if you would like there is a book about Vietnam , a fabulous best seller of a soldiers personal experiences and thoughts. The book is "" Rumor of War "" by Philip Caputo. OK John.
My name luigi guiseppi salardimo I'm a real Sicilian 99% And proud as you are
Man of culture
Beautiful music of Jr Walker and the all star. Lovely memories of the '69❤
Amen Piasan' No town like Motown ! American- (110 % -both grandfathers born there) Sicilian too-born and raised east side Detroit ! No better music !
I can listen to this song on a loop over and over and over again, love it! 💗
Smmfh very well said so True, especially wen I'm driving.👍🎼🎷🎺🥰
doing it now
Ditto! Exactly how I feel too. Got to keep rewinding it repeatedly 😊
Took your advice 😍💃🏿
I'm a born and raised Motown boy-East side Detroit ! No better music in the history of music.
The backing vocalists are doing something heavenly.
Background singers the andantes, background singers on many many Motown songs, in fact this song was recorded in Detroit at Motown, junior walker hated it didn't want to record it, it sat on the shelf for sometime before they convince him to record it, the rest is history
@@tonywaldon7801
Motown founder
Berry Gordy also hated it,
and originally had it as a
B-side.
But DJ’s kept playing it so much
that he relented,
and switched this to the A-side.
For Real !!!🇮🇹💙🎶🎤🎷
Love the background vocals. I would love to hear them isolated.
I have always loved this song. I still do . Goes right to my soul.
OMG Patty please don't leave me out. This beautiful classic janked ur heartstrings for decades ❤️❤️Do U Agree???

I play it daily. I can't hear it enough and it's 2023. What can beat this Masterpiece of Sax.
Driving my 67 Mustang with this song cranked up, thinking about the love of my life at that time. Some good memories.
I was 18 when I first heard , still sends chills through me.....and an occasional tear..
Tears me too I was 19 yrs old and crazy in love I'm 72 yrs old today, and man that summer of 1969 comes skipping back goddam what memories 👍👍👍
Brought me to tears last night bro thinking about my love so far away sitting in my hotel room here in Warsaw
Yes, Yes.
I Digg it. You're not alone.
Raymond, oh happens to me, too.
This song pumps life into my old soul. 79 going on 21 again.
Pete Alba : Hahaaa, same here. 65 and full of backpain, not when Junior Walker starts his sax.....
Me too
@@aliciacarmona5004 Alicia, you have good taste in music. I hope that you will enjoy many years of good ol music. Keep rocking, until father time comes knocking.
@@fredajordan5704 Freda,
Keep rocking till them bones start knocking.
@@saintpeter42 :-)).
Graduated in 68 and I love the music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's some of the 80's
"Gonna blow again fa ya"...Junior's voice just fit this song perfectly. Plus the wail of his Sax just added to the magic. This came out in 69 or 70....but the stereos never did this song justice. Today on some nice speakers...you can hear every note and feel that soul wrenching back beat...just sooo smooth. Thanks Jr and all your AllStars! Miss those innocent days of my mis spent youth.....
Came out in 68, but became a huge hit in Philly Smer of 69, yr of WoodStock, wen I was 12, and a few dudes were fighting in Nam, and remember a neighbor who returned by spring of 69(5/1969) from a back wound, and was suffering from bad flashbacks while near the A Shau Valley where the USAs 101 fought a bitter fight on Hamburger Hill.
I could hear every note when I first heard it. Really, there is only ONE note and that's and its called "soul stirring."😀
Autry Dewalt Mixon and big props to Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Vernon Bullock.(composers, lyricists and producers).
@@scooterbees57 Thanks for shinning some light on the unsung heros of the music genre....THANKS!!

This was my sister's favorite song she passed away in 2007 she had great taste in music I still have the 45 miss you sis..😔
and she lives in your heart forever
Yes she does.
What a sound, what a song, what a voice. It still works to this day.
Absolutely. he`s unmatched, his evergy and outstanding talent working that sax is more than a pleasure watching.
This was my husband favorite song. He was a great husband and father. He is gone to sleep now. When I hear this song it brings back so many memories because my husband also played the Saxophone.
You better believe it...........
@@rosapmcelveen4643
Sorry for your loss rosa.
But when the day comes for you to say goodbye as you enter gods garden you will hear that sax.and when you look who's playing it you will see your husband again
Believe me you will ⚘⚘
I remember when my aunt would play this song and we would be outside on the patio she had a Nice View of Downtown Los Angeles. This was her favorite song at the time. I was13 years old back then. I Miss her, now I am 67 years old and my cousin, her son got caught up in gang life who I used to sit with is locked up for Life. Miss him also.
Beautiful Song
NOW THIS IS CLASS. WE DON'T HAVE THIS ANYMORE.
I'm 71 and every time I hear this song it makes me tear up. For all the boys who lost there lives in Vietnam and the women who lost them . Great song!!
This song will never grow old, ever. Love it .
8 years old mom and I was twisting to this song as she hung the clothes on the clothesline to this song playing and the radio sitting in the kitchen window... Man life was good back then...You couldn't tell me we 'didn't have great music!! We were living large...
2024 at 57 years old will forever be dedicated to the sound of Soul Music . Motown, Soul Train, Philly Soul, Stax, Solar, and every black production record team that created R&B, Disco, Funk, Hip Hop and Soul Timeless Music. Happy Black History Month❤
What a song do you know that junior walker never wanted to record this song? The song writer begged him for years but he didn't want to know. But eventually he said OK I'll record it... And the rest is History it became one of the biggest hits in 60s🔥🔥🔥🔥👌👌👌♥️♥️
Fire tune...reminds me of my bro who passed on in 2007. Peace.

I first listen to this in 1968 -- 1969, and I can say, parents and teens played this. Often they played this together with so much joy and fun. Families worked together with unity and compassion at home or in the park. This song was certainly loved by all types of people back then. Thank you for playing this classic !!!
@ Jeffrey Chandler , yes, I don't think we'll ever have that special time where the music was good and people seemed kinder and gentler!!
AWOOOOW! WORD! BLESSING! MY DEAR! TOO YOUU AND YOUR'S! BEE AND STAY SAFE! 💋

Wherever you are Maria Benack every time Junior blows that sax I think of you glad I met you I wasn't the one for you at that time God bless you
This song was the hottest song in LOS ANGELES in 1968. it was No.1 on the charts for 5 weeks. I was in East Los Angeles visiting my cousins at the time. Everyone loved this song. Great family memories.
I have always loved this song. Has to be one of my top 20 songs of all time!
@@rickhatch1 mine too!! Still one of my favorites!!!
Phenomenal, it must've been a wonderful time, and not to put a damper on things, but I also know it was awful smoggy back then.
How did you deal with it back then? Wear a gas mask on the worst days and/or hours?
Me too on my low rider 66 impala cruising down Whittier Blvd
ELA✌️
Wonderful !!!!
So fortunate to have been a 10 year old in 69 when this was playing. I wouldn't trade my time-line for anything in the world.
Junior was and still is Brilliant. The saxophone is amazing
So very true.
Indeed well said
This brings back so many wonderful memories...of not having a care in the world, except for good music 💙 EPIC 💙
