I agree. It is fantastic for sure and when you examine it closely the tension and progression of the song is so masterful it is hard to think of other songs on the same level. When this was made Motown was a hit machine loaded with talented people who would collaborate and brainstorm to give each of their artists a hit and then another and another. If you had to get bogged down in committees and contracts and disbursements with everyone demanding a share of the credit and profits it never would have happened. Sure money was important but these people were jazzed and inspired by the seemingly endless success at the time.

One of their record 18 appearances on the Sullivan show...

RIP Mary Wilson!

It almost sounds like a proto-rap song. Just fantastic. The beat is insane.

From the "Did you know" files....... 1968 This was the Supremes' first number #1 hit not written by the team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland, as the trio had left Motown in a dispute over royalties. Motown founder Berry Gordy wrote this with staff songwriters Deke Richards, Pam Sawyer, R Dean Taylor and Frank Wilson. Instead of writing about love, they came up with a much more controversial song about a child born to unmarried parents. Neither founder member Mary Wilson nor more recent addition Cindy Birdsong (replacing Florence Ballard) sang a note on this single. The test run with Motown session group The Andantes as backup singers was issued as the single. Mary claims that this was a move by Berry Gordy to make clear to her and Cindy that they were expendable and further establish his power over them as well as playing up to his protégé/lover Diana Ross. Mary further says that the miming to the number for The Ed Sullivan Show was particularly difficult, knowing she didn't sing on it.

I was born that month of that year. I FEEL the song. It is beautiful, haunting and strangely nostalgic for someone who was only weeks old. Tears fall...

This song has a new meaning for me.. I had my DNA tested and found out that my female cousin had 3 "love children" in the 1960's. One in 1964- one in 1966 and the last in 1968. With married men. People need to be responsible with their behavior. Even though these three girls were raised by "families of privilege", they wonder why someone would discard them.. I provided them with family photos, newspaper articles and stories, but nothing will answer the question "why"… My cousin died in 2010 and the three girls only recently found out. I am the only family member who could have known who their mother was..

Such a beautiful voice an beautiful woman she's been one of my favorite

The greatest female artist along with Aretha Franklin, the greatest female group and her greatest trade mark song. She defined soul, pop, rock and contemporary all in one.

0:20 I'm struck and on the ground..... She's GORGEOUS! She was meant to be a megastar, anything else would be what a waste.

Diana’s first number one solo record. If you include “Someday we’ be together” which she also recorded without Mary and Cindy, she has 8 number ones solo and 10 number ones with the Supremes. If you include “We are the world”, it’s 9 solo number ones and 19 total. I remember seeing this when it first aired. We were floored to see our glamour girls dressed down. The critics applauded Diana’s singing performance on this song and they especially noted and praised her “Ad-libs” at the song’s end. This was one of their fastest selling records according to Gordy.

She’s on The Hollywood Palace wearing that style as well and even the Dinah Shore special - all 1969. The hairdo matched the Love Child album cover so it made sense. My collection goes back to 1963 so I have seen her in just about every hair style possible!

....Oh, I know I was THERE, TOO!! ...ha-HAA!! ....but the 'Afro' look made it's debut with THIS performance, which added more, to the 'shock' value of this appearance; The LP cover was INFLUENCED by this, & became softer-looking, by the 2nd appearance ('Love..', 'I'm Livin' In Shame' & 'I Get a Kick..' were performed then) AND, thru most of 1969, like you said.... ....my FAVE hairstyle STILL remains, when they appeared with the Temptations....I was ready to run on that set, and STEAL it!! ...ha-HAAA!!
