[@sirhats1954]

This is great, but the large logo distracts from the film if it was smaller and in the corner it would be better

[@recordguy4321]

of course the Sat. night bandstand kids clapping on the 1 and 3 instead of the backbeat 2 and 4. Great song wore it out as a kid

[@grammyj17988]

[@recordguy4321]

Dick Clark's Saturday Night Beech Nut Show

❤️❤️❤️

[@davidmoran1235]

Berry Gordy was involved in the writing of this track and from the profits of this hit he set up his own Record label/Studio called Tamla Motown in Detroit. The rest, as they say is history.

[@davidgibson7615]

He already set it up of what became known as Motown Record Corporation in 1959 through a $800 loan.

[@BrianHassett-ih3jp]

Bobby Parker wrote and release the song in 1956. Parker says Gordy "stole" the song from him.

[@Beatle849]

​@BrianHassett-ih3jp I just listened to the original and this version is much more polished with some of the lyrics changed. This is one of my favorites. But the melody is identical and there should be no question as to who should be credited with writing it.

MARV JOHSON - YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES (RARE CLIP FROM 1959) RECORD LABEL: UNITED ARTISTS RECORDS US 185. YEAR 1959. THANKYOU TO ROBERT FOR CORRECTION...IT WAS FIRST WRITTEN AND SANG BY BOBBY PARKER WHO ALSO RECORDED 'WATCH YOUR STEP' LATER COPIES TURNED UP WITH CREDITS BY BERRY GORDY JR, GWEN GORDY FUQUA AND ROQUEL DAVIS...SOMETIMES EVEN HAD MARV JOHNSON AS ONE OF THE WRITERS?

[@johncarr2420]

Great song but ! Imagine he tripped on that ladder , then knocked the bloke up the ladder behind him with a tin of paint

[@paulbarber9599]

Excellent video real talent better than this garbage that’s out today have this record in my collection

[@sportsmediaamerica]

So true or false? Berry Gordy stole this song from Bobby Parker who had already first recorded it on Vee-Jay Records. Gordy put his name on the Marv Johnson recording as writer. True or false...and why don't more people know about this if it's true? Did Parker or his estate ever get back-royalties??

[@j.yamamoto9882]

I kind of guessed that Dave Clark Five.

[@robertvelez9557]

Marv Johnson's biggest hit You Got What It Takes was not written by Berry Gordy! It was actually written and recorded by a blues guitarist named Bobby Parker in 1957! Bobby's biggest hit came in 1961 with a song called Watch Your Step! His name gets confused with Robert Parker who had a monster hit called Barefootin in 1966!

[@ILMJXXX]

Hi Robert...Always appreciate being corrected when wrong :-)...just read that later records did have Berry Gordy, Gwen Gordy Fuqua and Roquel Davis...Sometimes Marv's name appeared also on the credits...

[@nanjemoyal-kursi3078]

Robert Velez * Thanks for the information I never knew that Bobby wrote the song. IAM a bass guitar player and had the opportunity of backing Marve Johnson live when I was 17. I also knew Bobby Parker who passed away around 2014.

[@monsterharp]

I toured and played harmonica with Bobby Parker for 15 years thank you for sharing this, a lot of Bobby’s work was taken from him, he truly deserves to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame.

[@davidmoran1235]

Bobby Parker may have the rights to the song but his musical rendition of the song was not a hit until Gordy got involved. So it's 6 of one and a half a dozen of the other. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHfFgYaAfrp0h7s

[@Beatle849]

The taking of legal credit for music rights and the writing of songs was very common at that time, as I'm sure you all know. But, it sure is a treat to hear from you guys who were a personal part of some of this great music. 2:39

[@godscountry6473]

ILMJXXX...why are claiming the copyright of this Dick Clark Production by putting a watermark on the video?

[@ralphdn]

Could this be misspelled? Marv "Johson" should be Johnson ..?

[@LJD-xo9ph]

When music was music 🤙🏼
