One of the greatest songs of the sixties from 1 of the greatest voices and groups of the 1960s the fabulous Martha Reeves and the Vandalias.

I used to put this on the juke box in the pub in Lambourn after riding out for Barry Hills. 8 stone wet through. Wet through again today and under 8.1/2 Stone. Aged NEARLY 72 😖😵‍💫

A great song , reminds me of th "Broken Wheel" at Retford, Notts. in 1969/1970. Never saw Martha and tandellas,but Marv Johnson appeared at the "Wheel" in 1970. Great times with great friends.

Just simply classic Motown. A great song and great production and performance. It doesn't get much better than this.

Motown was doin' it back then! To create music like this, a pop-like standard and add elements of R&B to it, with those strings and the drum doing just enough, man, that's greatness right there!

1:38 "Other boys i sent away, I locked my heart 'till my wedding day" is such a beautiful and profound lyric! Specially nowadays where ANYTHING and EVERYTHING goes in such filthy and degrading scenarios that the media glorifies...a line that speaks of chastity (instead of the disgusting promiscuity that is encouraged and accepted by the world of entertainment) this line literally brings tears to my eyes.

@anonymouspeacefulperson6199

rioboy13 me too French penpal! Life was so innocent in those days! Mum always wanted us girls to wait until our wedding day! Natalie imbroglio always sad singing the trauma song of 10 frightened to tell adults in case the boys beat her up!

I have this song by The Pearls on their greatest hits collection , Martha and Vandellas do a fine job , strong enough for an A side .

@sunryse111

8y↑1

+Music Selection I agree - and I think I already have The Pearls' version on here somewhere, but I'm beginning to lose track now with upwards of 1200 videos uploaded ...

@sitonatree1

sunryse111 gosh that is a a lot .. wonder how long it would take to heat them all ..

@pete6645

"The Pearls Greatest Hits"? That must have covered all of an EP. Martha & the Vandellas version is infinitely better.

@TigerRogers0660

I prefer this, more “earthy” than The Pearls version. But both are good ❤️

@pete6645

I was wondering why I couldn't find this on Martha & the Vandellas list of hit singles - I couldn't believe it was never a hit, so the fact that it was a B-side would explain it. I still think it should have been the A-side though; this song is better than "Jimmy Mack".

@sunryse111

Agreed! Much better.
