I was attending Detroit Northeastern High School when Motown was is full swing 1965. Attended every Motown Review at the Fox Theater, argued amongst ourselves who where the 'best' Motown groups and singers. Martha and the Vandellas & the Marvelletts were my two special groups, even above the Supremes. (MORE SOUL!!) MARTHA COULD BLOW !! WHAT A VOICE. SHE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE PRAISE.

[@YolandaMorton-q2s]

I remember feeling that way when i was a teenager. Youth! A million heartaches. Life's painful lessons. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[@vandywilliam]

This was a huge hit in San Diego, and it actually topped the charts on San Diego's top-rated station (KCBQ) on Jan. 9, 1966. The song only made it to No. 70 on Billboard as the flip side of the No. 26 hit ("You've Been In Love Too Long") for the Detroit girl group headed by Martha Reeves.

[@rsands9]

Hanging out with friends school parties going to the skating rink and movies. Just good wholesome fun. Experiencing life as a teen. New world....Those were the days..
