i'm sure you must have given your views on miley cyrus! if you haven't you need to check her out!!!

I dig her voice also. A great timeless song. So glad i was fortunate to have grown up in the 60s. To me the best decade for music. A plethora of great singers & songs.

brings me back to my transistor radio days!

Classic music from my childhood.

Motown is a shortened version of the term "Motor Town" which at that period of time was a nickname for Detroit because nearly all of the major car manufacturers had their plants and headquarters there. A very large portion of Motown artists were natives of Detroit, (The Temptations, The Supremes, Martha and The Vandellas, etc., etc.) and Motown's headquarters were also there.

Love this group! So glad you’re Reacting to them. This should be fun.😊

This is one of my all time favorite songs. Yes The Shirelles were certainly one of the first great girl groups from that era but their was another fantastic group, nearly forgotten now, who actually preceded them. In 1958 a group of high school girls who called themselves The Chantels recorded a song called "Maybe" which was kind of a mix of Doo wop, Soul, and a precursor of The Motown Sound. Please try it. I'm sure you'll love the lead singer, Arlene Smith, who was classically trained and appeared at Carnegie Hall at the age of 12.(she was 15 or 16 when "Maybe was recorded).

Carole King wrote many songs and #1 hits, including this one, with her then husband Gerry Goffin as Lyicist. the Beatles loved the Shirelles and other Mowtown artists. Love the strings in this.

I loved this song when it came out and I still do. I was in my 20's, no wonder I'm so old now. Brings back a lot of memories, some good, some not so much.

Great singing, beauty, grace and classy. What's not to like?

The Shirelles had a few other hits well worth checking out: Baby, It's You (later covered by The Beatles), Dedicated to the One I Love (also a hit for The Mamas & Papas), Mama Said and Soldier Boy (another #1 song for them).

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow", sometimes known as "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", is a song with words by Gerry Goffin and music composed by Carole King. Carol wrote a lot of hits that others recorded. it would be almost a decade before she started preforming them herself. The last one she wrote with Gerry was for Aretha Franklin. You make me feel like a natural woman. Aretha surprised Carol at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015 . Carols reaction was beyond priceless.

Natural Talent!!!!! No autotune or pitch correction.

this is dubbed with the studio recording the real live version sucked unfortunately.

This clip is from American Bandstand which Dick Clark hosted from 1952-1987.

In 1962 Carole King recorded and released "It Might As Well Rain Until September," which she wrote with her husband, Gerry Goffin. It made it to No. 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

This is a Carole King song. She recorded it on her 1971 "Tapestry" album, but much slower than the 1960 Shirelles version. It has a totally different feel, and was a huge hit for her, as was the whole album. One of the best-selling albums in history.

Personal preference but I like Carole's version better. I find it more emotionally grabbing. Tapestry is one of the best albums by anybody ever. There's not a bad track on the whole album.

This song came out in 1960 so I'm pretty sure Carole King's version from 1971 is a cover....

@@sannaolsson9106 it's not a cover, it's a remake of a song she wrote herself. She's singing her own song that she wrote in 1960 with Gerry Goffin. Carole King was born in 1942 so she was already writing hit songs in the sixties. She was an in-house writer and wrote lots of fits for girl groups in the 60s. She also wrote The Locomotion, Up On The Roof, , and she also wrote You Make Mee Fee Lke a Natural Woman for Aretha Franklin which is also on her Tapestry album. You should read some music history.

Also listen to The Supremes first number 1 Hit ''Where Did Our Love Go''from Motown in 1964

Timeless.

This was done live. The single version was dubbed in for this video. Saw Shirley a few years back. Still had a great voice.

Love Maggie's chair dancing!

A group from this era that seems to have been forgotten is The Paris Sisters. Their song I Love How You Love Me is a tremendous classic.

Thanks! I was in college when this came out. Good times.

Thank you so much!! 💐🎶👍🤗💟

Did you notice the arm movements shown by the backup singers?

A level of talent, grace, and elegance sadly missing these days.

There is a Delilah Films documentary, Girl Groups: The Story of a Sound, versions of it are on KZread. If you want to know about The Shirelles and Girl Groups in general, this is an excellent and informative documentary about this important time in popular music. :)

You should listen to the cover Rainbow did live at Donnington. Graham Bonnet kills it

Hello 👋 be-a-u-tiful lady. I hope you enjoy this song 🎶as much as I do 😊

Well her eye liner came back into fashion. This was a bit before me but I still loved it.

Carole King wrote it, and its all-important question still resonates. After I give myself to you, will you stay with me?

Maybe the lower lead voice is the one asking the question seriously, where the higher harmonies are a little younger and naive?

She wrote the music. However, her husband wrote the lyrics.

another carol king classic, she wrote a few!. nice version, nice 2 c v grls live.

Good reaction Maggie, what a classic. Interesting about having a lower vocal type up front.

So groups like the Shirelles and Temptations were crossing over from the R&B stations to mainstream (okay... White) pop music radio and starting to really get air time and noticed. Their sounds were new and refreshing! And then... a little band of 4 long-haired Brits hit the airwaves and Everything changed. The Beatles and the tsunami known as the British Invasion crashed onto our shores and suddenly, no one cared much about the R&B sound. Many of those groups didn't make it thru the onslaught, iirc. Others adapted as best they could. Certainly a tumultuous time in pop music!!

Amy Winehouse knocks this song, out of the park. Best believe it. She has 2 versions, the one where she is holding a guitar is the best.

Maggie...react to Be My Baby,which is another Shirelles hit.

Carol King cover was very popular also; I think the song has been covered 100 times. Considering your own personal talent, I keep watching for you to do a reaction to a Patsy Cline song, preferably "Crazy".

​@@guyray1504It appears that any recording that wasn't the first recording is now called " cover" . How you can cover your own composition sounds crazy to me.

Check out the version done by the Bee Gees

Always loved Lesley Gore, You don't own me.

The Shirelles never recorded for Motown, though.

Amy Winehouse' version of this song is Haunting and Mesmerizing....

I doubt you’ll see this, but please check out “part of me” by cian ducrot; it’s amazing and very powerful.

Please bring back the mystery emoji

As far as voicing... I would think that sound technology may have been more suited for lower voicing... maybe the old mics and tape technology would not respond well to higher registers?

classic song-gre up with this and other groups-this was music not like some of the so called music today..smooth east listening music.

graham bonnett's version is also worth a listen

Please please react to Amy Winehouse’s version - it’s phenomenal ❤

Amy Winehouse done this song justice as well

HELLO B-A-U-T-IFUL LA-D Y -‿◕ (thank you for your superb channel ) request , Styx . ' Sail Away '

Carol Kings version is much more emotional. Done in a slower tempo and more plaintive.

Not Motown.

But that's the wow you don't need anything fantastic, because it's already fantastic just the way it is and it's more sexy that way....... Ps. You don't need to impress it's already impressive..

4.5mins of artist facts is insane 😅😅 And why tf were you singing along during the bridge if you had only heard the one main chorus line of the song before? I hate fake b.s. channels like this.

Because I’ve heard parts of this song but never these singers and never all the way through?? Which I’m pretty sure I mention?? And I’ve never seen this video???

Why did you read the lyrics beforehand? That should only be done when sung lyrics are known to be very unclear. Even then, lyrics should barely *follow*, not lead the sung lyrics. This is no Italian opera. Prior reading robs songs of power in nearly every case. My urgent suggestion is that reading should trail the singing, even if by a fraction of a second. Anywayyy… Motown songs had almost uniformly high production standards, with superior harmonies to most white music in the top 40. Yet so many Motown greats were ignored by white stations, a brutal fact of racism. Here’s a perfect example: “I Want You Back” by the Jackson Five. It *murdered* most tunes on the radio, but seldom was heard. Thank you Maggie.
