NEW * Come And Get These Memories - Martha & The Vandellas {Stereo} 1963

1963....#29 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #6 U.S. Billboard R & B
Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
"Come and Get These Memories" is an R&B song by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas. Their second single released under Motown's Gordy Records subsidiary, "Memories" became the group's first hit single, reaching number 29 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart, and number-six on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart. The song speaks of heartbreak, as the narrator (lead singer Martha Reeves) goes through her things and gives back everything her now ex-boyfriend had given her, including teddy bears, records, and "lingering love".
"Memories" is also notable as the first hit recording written and produced by the songwriting/production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland, who would become the top creative team at Motown by the end of 1965. The single was the first of several hits the Vandellas scored with the team, before Holland-Dozier-Holland began to focus more heavily on hits for The Supremes and the Four Tops. However, Holland-Dozier-Holland would continue to collaborate with the Vandellas until the songwriting team's departure from Motown in 1967.

It’s different from there later stuff but it’s good’

[@rucianapollard7098]

The Supremes recorded this song with Mary Wilson singing lead. It's pretty good, but Mary can't touch Martha's vocals!! Martha Reeves was very underrated.

[@Leatherbro]

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas were far more naturally talented than the Supremes anyday.

[@shuroom57]

Martha was/is my favorite female artist at Motown.
