This is giving me chills! It's by far the best remix I ever heard! Many attempts at "extended" mixes just stretch out single parts of a song or string together endless repeats, to the effect that any discernable climax is lost. But while you added new, exciting elements, you keep the unique structure and feeling of the original intact. Like emphasizing that heavy, relentlessly forward-stomping percussion. Or pulling to the fore those trance-like "baby, baby"-chants that make the song for me. Or Diana's mock-adlibs in the few bars towards the end. The highlight for me is the jazzy, ecstatic tenor-sax sample that really lifts the song to another level of intensity (btw, where did that come from?). But the true magic for me is how organic everything is coming together here. It's almost like you unearthed an unedited version from the Motown vaults and gave it a fresh remastering. Everything sounds so consistent, I find nothing in here that Holland-Dozier-Holland wouldn't have done themselves had they given the arrangement another thought. This is truly a vast improvement of the original and it will be hard to top! It's timeless, it's perfection and the definitive version imo! Thank you so much for this!
Tx very much Michael! What a lovely and perceptive comment. I had to have a listen to this mix again as I hadn't heard it for a long time. I edited and retuned the sax solo from an existing session I had. You actually get what I try to do on these remixes and you phrased it way better than I ever could. Tx for taking the time to say such kind words.
@@fuTuRo-Sonic Lol, I phrased it better than you ever could? I see it this way: There are creative people who make art, while others can only try to express their amazement! From the vids you uploaded here I get that you are a Supremes fan like me. Please go on exploring their catalogue, and maybe you'll also find some of their deep album cuts worth working on. Some of these fan favourites might be popular enough to generate viewers. I absolutely love your imaginative reinventions of their songs and will definitely dig deeper into your stunning work! All the best, and thanks for responding!
@Shawn Schroeder Shawn they tried it and it almost worked! Mary and Florence's personalities, talent and essence were just too strong! America fell in love with three girls called the Supremes.......not just one!
Great pulsating beat. Love how you sync up the visual with the audio, such as when they're bopping along in French traffic and their strides match the beat. Really good.
I am late in discovering this but have been listening to this version for an hour or so. I am stuck at about 2:42 trying to hear if this is real or fixed. Tell, please!?! At any rate, OH YES!
This should be getting wide replay on all stations dedicated to the Motown Sound or 1960's music. Are you getting any of that? Your work to bring out the voices of Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard are just amazing. I'd like to see a remix of Buttered Popcorn next! It wasn't a hit, but could have been.
Not getting any airplay as far as I know. As you probably know Motown is a just a tiny division of Universal Music who don’t seem to know what to do with the back catalogue. They should be releasing and promoting these but Universal do not seem to be very pro active in promoting the incredible Motown legacy. I’ll check out Buttered Popcorn and see if anything can be done.
Ok now I have a new favorite. I played your version of "Come See About Me" about a thousand times :) .. This is wonderful ... Thank you once again for bringing a great original to even a higher level of excellence.
Listen to Diana Ross. Her voice is so unique. Listen to her cooeoing. Her voice is so clear, so clean. It is so fresh. A once-in-a-lifetime voice. The Queen of Motown.

Man if this version was released instead of original it would have went off the charts 🎉
"A JOB WELL DONE"
Have listened to this over and over for 55 years, and still haven't gotten tired of it!! 😍
Ditto that sentiment!
Ooooh, you really brought that beat out good on this! :) Awesome!!
Here’s THE JAM HERE! Yessss
These are absolutely fabulous. Please do "the happening by the Supremes" that song has a deep meaning to me.
OHHH yeah! Sounds "fresh" as usual. Love it. And my o my...love me some Florence Ballard; holy cow she was hot!
@Shawn Schroeder I love Flo too. It's a shame I have never heard her on this recording. Still don't.
@@DetroitLives313 no kidn...they made it all Diana.
@Shawn Schroeder Shawn they tried it and it almost worked! Mary and Florence's personalities, talent and essence were just too strong! America fell in love with three girls called the Supremes.......not just one!
DetroitLives313 You still farting about BS 60yrs ago how they did Flo 😂😂😂😂
Shawn Schroeder and was a drunk
THE BEST remix ever, of my favourite song of ALL TIME , THANK YOU,futuro ....
genius...............just great

Excellent remix of The Supremes 1st #1 song.
Best remaster I’ve heard so far. Love the extended version.
Still a great tune!
W O N D E R.

I repitched the vocal there and in a few other spots just to give some new variation and make it sound like DR was improvising a little.
great refresh as usual! love that sax!
Awesome rendition!!! Love the extended version. Great use of bass.
Thanks Carmen!
Love the mix at the end.
Good re-mix.
Ok you've outdone yourself this time! Excellent work, great sound and I like the additional instruments.

TOP CLASS PRODUCTION !!!
I also like how you doubled Mary Wilson's voice here.
Yes Marv, I managed to isolate Mary and Flo's vocals and doubled them left and right to give a much bigger sound.
You did a great job. I know I speak for a lot of people. We appreciate all the work and time you put into these remixes! Thank you!

Great job
Very nice 👌
Ya hear this Sandy?
Listen to Diana Ross. Her voice is so unique. Listen to her cooeoing. Her voice is so clear, so clean. It is so fresh. A once-in-a-lifetime voice. The Queen of Motown.
The Supremes are amazing as always but those dancers coming up and walking through the singers - that should not have happened. Looked stupid.
FANTASTIC 🌠
