I noticed there were 26 thumbs down, guess they don't know great music when they hear it, this is a true classic written by a great artist too

Used to listen to this everyday back in 1978/79 lots of memories . Can't get songs like this anymore. ❤

When this song came out I was 20 years old now I'm 74 great song

Beautiful song...beautifully sung by Wanda Rogers.

Motown barely promoted Marvelettes albums so the world had little way of knowing they were doing some of the most interesting, intriguing, intelligent and challenging music at Motown.

Loved this tune when it dropped 50 years ago...still do...with every play.

When you haven’t heard a song in years and rediscover a song like this that encompasses an era in your life it is hard to let go. I just can’t get enough of this song!

Beautiful song,the words just take you back to your first love. Great times growing up,listening to gems like this.

im sobbing , its brought it all back , oh, the memories of those times of my life in the 60s . when you had great music , and this fabulous . fantastic record , love you girls x

This song brings back so many great memories of a time a long time ago , these were the greatest days of my youth

Always preferred Marvelettes to Supremes . Mesmerising voices

I don't. I Like The Marvelettes, The Supremes, and Martha Reeves and the Vandellas equally. All of them have lead singers with very good distinctive voices. Sometimes, I get in the mood for one of these specific groups. Add The Velvelettes to this list. I liked Wanda Rogers' delivery to a song. May she rest in peace. 🕊️

Beautiful Song, so heart filling 🎉😂❤. Love the lyrics . Girls made Motown

A group of beautiful ladies looking so classy in the heels and dresses/skirts. What a great generation of songs.

They sing it better than you can say it. I feel every word she says. Starts a journey in my mind.

Innocent musical perfection,glad I experienced these great tracks at the right age.DJ EXPAT

This song brings back good memories

Huge band in music history, the first Motown act to have a US number one with "Hey Mr Postman" This song did brilliantly in UK, and no wonder, superb !

One of my all time favourites from 1967!

Absolutely Brilliant One of the best Motown records ever released What Amazing song

Fantastic group and beautiful people.

When things can't get much worse in the UK, this wonderful song brings a glimmer of hope and love. x

1967 and I’m at school watching a girl arrive for class who I was madly in love with ... just 16 ... oh boy, what memories ❤️

Simply Wonderful. 🎉More

What great lyrics. I feel like they eere wrote about me at HJH. I just can't get enough of this music. Words make all performances great!

I remember hearing this song on my high school senior trip to a lake Michigan beach for a day. One of the last trips we would take as a class before we would all be splitting up and heading out into the world. This song just seemed to fit the occasion so well.

Wow that was GREAT,loved the ending of the song............ beautiful pictures that I've never seen.Wanda's voice is SEXY !!!!!!

You make us Motown fans want to listen to these hits over and over again. And this particular one simply makes me wish that each and every Motown hit were "treated" by you. So go ahead you lazy boy Moso!!! (you're great. Truly)

So beautiful it take your breath away. This one and "forever" are my favorites

OMG what a song remember when I played this song as a teenager and thought of my first school crush imagine that we are the couple in the song, such great memories .

Simply beautiful at best. Wanda delivers on this song.

Great song, great year, great memories ❤️

So many happy happy memories listening to this 😍😍😍

tracks like this should come with a warning, wandas voice can be very addictive. theres magic when wanda sings, thats for sure.

this song is nice

Although, I was very young when this was released, I remember the reactions of people to this classic. A golden time for people in love, inspired from this song.

Excellent on lead vocal, also the session studio musicians are outstanding, true professionals!

Incredible, and the photos are spectacular. Thank you so much for this.

The Marvelettes could do no wrong, nor could Van McCoy, and the Marvelettes took 3 years after the original release, but they still "OWN" this fresh song since 1967! Thank you for posting another wonderful classic!! [See also Ralph Carter definitive disco/dance version] Cheers, DAVEDJ

So sweet Marvelettes .Genuine outstanding talented group. Their versions of " When You're Young and IN Love"and" Forever" are exquisite. Their natural soulful voices are rare to this day .They were first class. .

One of my favourites shameful how the marveletes were so undrated!

What happened to GREAT music like this.

great group

7-17-20: THE MARVELOUS MARVELETTES- ALWAYS ALWAYS IMITATED BUT NEVER EVER EQUALED BY THE SUPREMES NOR ANY OTHER FEMALE GROUP TO THIS DAY ⭐️❤️✅🌹

Finest Song of one of the most underrated female Motown groups - always standing in the shadows of the Supremes. Great composer: Van Mc Coy

Great group, voices, and subject to sing about! The first time I heard this was at 46th and Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! The crowds gathered there every weekday afternoon to dance and get famous! Then on Saturday it was off to New York City and the Saturday Night Beechnut Show. The train ride was fun too!

Wanda Rogers, voice was soo soulful

My favorite Marvelettes song!!!!

Ptown!! You've breathed new life into this marvelous Marvelettes Hit.

Not that I'd want to,but I could be locked up 23 out of 24 hours with the way you do this music and it wouldn't get old. I consider it good (understatement) therapy!

So perfect makes me tearful xxx and wot true lyrics INNOCENCE karen ( and nativity)

I like the images to this. It's great seeing them in London - by the Royal Albert Hall and Trafalgar Square, and I love the one of them in the Citroën 2CV! I bet they got about. Gorgeous women too :-)

Nicely done - hadn't seen quite a few of those pictures, they're a real treat - thanks!

I 👍 this long version !

Ah,the good ol days

as always... top quality. Many thanks

Just BEAUTIFUL! First time hearing it. Love it.

Brings me back to when l was young and in love for the First time what happy times one of the best songs ever

Wonderful harmony; truly magnificent voices as smooth as silk drawn through oil.

LOVE the extended version! Hooray!!

The song encompassed the breathless enthusiasm for the potential of love when I was young. Hearing your extended version with fresh, if not so young ears anymore, I have to say that I still hope there is a chance for me. Thank your for your sensitive and subtle work on this, my friend!

My, my....Mark.....thank you, my friend! You give me the kindest of compliments, and I appreciate them....

Fab remake of an old Dick and Deedee ballad from 62. This 1967 version is a great pre-disco take by the marvelous Marvelettes. Very danceable. Very Good lyrics. Thanks, all femme M. crew and Van McCoy. Vives les retro pop soul and disco freaks...

This cover of the Van McCoy song was originally done by Ruby & The Romantics. James Dean and William Weatherspoon produced The Marvelettes version....and I bet they arranged it too!!!! So dramatic and beautiful!!!! This is my very favorite from them!!! Wanda Young's breathy and sexy vocals are nothing short of spectacular!!!

1967...the eras sweet spot. Good music..employment...Good humor man...cheap housing. This song was so uplifting...the Marvelettes gave the just right about of verve and Motown thump that impressed me so much. While it wasn't one of the chart toppers...it was just right on the money for so many young idealic teens. Thanks to Van McCoy for this little treasure...

Can I be honest, folks, they were the ultimate beautiful trio..after them...TLC some 35 or so years later.

I just love this song it bring back so many memory

Wanda with her Fine behind self!!!!! Are you Kiddin' Me!!!!

I love you Gladys!! Thanks JP! Brilliant remix!

Miss you Mosogotam! Thank you

Wanda was really the best female singer at Motown. Very under-appreciated.

Just that little bit added helps. I can feel like what it set up goes on even more this way. One of my few criticisms of our older music was that so many songs were so short. I think 3 minutes is about the shortest most songs should be and I personally prefer at least 3 1/2 if not 4. Thanks for this version moso.

GREAT VIDEO ❤

Who remembers this song rereleased in 1980s? 1990s? sung by Marveletts reaching UK charts? ...either erased from history or another universe...

They were so pretty

1966 Red Pontiac GTO, the Howard Theater Washington DC, "The Group", Calbys and of course Ilene G.

Timeless Music Memories. Can U Diggitt! 10/4. 😄☺

RIP Wanda Young who died on 15th December 2021.The best!

This song was penned by the late and great "Van McCoy" of Washington, DC...on Columbia Road, and originally recorded by "Ruby and The Romantics"....Also recorded by "Peaches and Herb" and "Stacey Lattisaw".

Van McCoy was our Mozart.

Wow iam 18 again what a fantastic record

The supremes & the marelettes were masterpiece motown girls group 1960-70s
