Barbra Joan... did you guys have a "Hesitation Dance" in Jr. High around 1958 where the band would hold on one chord and everybody paused from dancing until the beat started again? Just wondering.. we had it in Ft. Worth, TX. Can't find anyone who remembers. Peace.
lol I posted this 2 years ago and YES❣️ I sure did get to perform this and quite a few others from our albums!! I’ll see if I can find video of that one. Hope you guys are still around! 🎤🎶🎸
At the time it seemed it was destined to continue endlessly, without skipping a beat. It resonates today as though it had. Thank you HDH, Smokey, Funk Bros., Andantes, Maxine Powell and all the incredible singers. Thank you Barry Gordy for all the work it took to fulfill your vision of GREATNESS! 10/2019
This song is so awesome!! It had the greatest beat! It reminds me of a day at work when me & Beverly were listening to this song & dancing around the kitchen singing. I was singing into a spoon & Beverly had a spatula. We were getting down when the assistant CEO of the hospital came in with a big wheel from the corporate office. Beverly froze but I kept going because they were behind me & I didn't know they were there. I turned around & stopped. All of a sudden the big wheel looked at Garon ( the assistant CEO) & he grinned & said " Well at least they enjoy their jobs!!" Garon looked at him & shook his head & laughed & said " you just don't know the half of it!" Lol Garon was always telling me I had missed my calling that I should've been a comedian. Lol Yes those were such fun happy times! Thanks to all the ladies bands they were all awesome & they did all of us very proud!!! ❤
Please, listen many "Blue Notes" sessions, with Rudy Van Gelden, with his withe gloves, as Sound Sorcerer. With Miles, Thelonious, Milt Jakcson. The Sound of Bernie Gordie come from this guy, more or less..I discovered "Martha and the Vendellas" by...Chris Squire, Bassist and Founder of Yes. 5 years of "European Tours" as Bass Tech, 1999-2004. Many nights to talk Musics during many years. Finally, please also The Bass Solo of "Starships Troopers", Its a respectuous Hommage to "Bernie Gordy" Sound, James Jamerson of course. And Alan White, who played with Joe Cocker was reallly happy too. Martha and The Vendellas. A Pure Diamond.
Who remember this song by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas Dancing in the streets? 1964 I was 4 years old when that song was out. My favorite song and group.
I am 73 (today), I watched this video about a month ago,, and then went to the Martha Reeves website...at that time, Martha and the Vandellas were doing a gig in Shanghai...Martha was still cookin' at age 78. "Long live Motown; Long Live the 'Girl Groups' of the 1960s".
The amount of talent that converged to make this is unbelievable. Written by Marvin Gaye, who's also playing the drums, with Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter. The Funk Brothers just killing it. The Vandellas really delivering the vocals, and the moves! Especially Martha, look at that smile, that attitude. I even tip my hat to whoever directed the main video here, and the cameramen, who caught it just right. For my money, it doesn't get any better.
in 64 my dad joined the US MARINES. He did 2 tours from 65 -69 with India Company in 68 he was up Khe San hill 831 as an F.O. calling in Air Strikes 3rd Batt 26th Marine.
If you were alive during the time this was played, you would remember how extremely popular it was and how often it was played on the radio. It was and is one of the very best motown sound. (A sound which will in all probability - never be repeated - sadly)
+Sheila6325 I think my dancing in the street was back in 1966? Is that when this came out? I had to come back and listen again. I loved it then, and I still love it now!
I spent my summer vacation with my aunt, uncle and first cousins in Detroit when this classic single came out in 1964 ...everyone was literally dancing in the streets!!!
I was a 14 year old kid back in '64 and as you were dancing in DETRIOT I was in NORTH JERSEY with my friends also DANCING IN THE STREET ....we had a lot of fun back in the 60's :)
In The Navy, on a Communications Station in Greece... 1964-66. My girlfriend, back in Brooklyn, sent me this "45" and a friend of mine & me walked down the road, carrying a portable record player, playing this song over & over... trying to keep the player vertical and not skipping the record..Yeah... I remember this song! Thanks for the memories!
Oh God she's so great. Every time I see her perform she brings tears to my eyes. Her charisma is top shelf, her smile, her sparkle. There's nobody like her and never will be. Wherever you are, Martha, I love you! (and I love you too Vandellas!)
This song is the perfect connection to some of the best times and memories in my life. It is amazing how much a song can remind you of a time, place or person. This is a favorite :)
This was a staple in my youth in Cherry Hill, Baltimore City. Block parties, or an open truck went through the communities with a band or DJ in the 70s. Dancing in the Street, music 🎶 🎵 the BEST!
I definitely remember this song back in the sixties. My household had this record and everyone in my household was playing this song. This is one of my favorite song. Dancing In The Streets!!!
This song brings back such memories! When I was a freshman in college, they closed off our street to traffic so we could get out there and dance! Of course they played this song! I grew up on Motown music and still love it to this day. Besides, this lady is my namesake...
I feel privileged to have lived through the 60's what a time that was. I know we had The Beatles etc here in the UK, but the Motown stuff - well it just blew me away
Without question - one of the Greatest Female Singing Groups of All Time - with their Signature Song - Dancing In The Streets - Just makes you want to Get Up and Dance!!!
I'll be 34 next month and I can't believe I remember this music. This is what my mom grew up on, but I remember her playing motown music. I'm a music junkie 😆 I love dancing, singing, watching and listening to music. I'm dancing now 😆 🤣
I was just sitting at the computer working, when this song came into my head. Not sure where it came from, but it made me feel so good, I had to stop work, and watch and listen to it again. It was great then, and it's GOLD now. One of the 60's very best records. Bless you Martha Reeves and the Vandellas. I was one of those white kids who didn't care (then or now) about the Beatles or the Stones. But give me Motown!
Girls gettin' down and funky. The best version ever. Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG! you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!
I didn't know this Motown group did this song. I thought it was Bowie n jagger, im only 37 born December 1981 so im happy to know now after being at Motown the Musical theatre show in Scotland . Such a great track to dance to, its hard not to want to move to it. Also thought that you cant hurry love was a phil collins song ,its the supremes. I stand corrected .soo much talent at Motown and soo much quality music . Michael Jackson still my all time favourite by a distance . Nobody excites me or moves me emotionally or to dance like MJ, the most special sweet man in my eyes and his talent was off the charts. I miss him, i love him. Ill take his music and memories to my grave .mj is a big part of my life and his music dance n message of love has made my life better. But a big thank u to all the Motown stars for sharing their gift and soulful music which was pure and tasteful, all about love n respect .peace ,lets continue to spread Motown n MJ for future generations to have quality soulful music
Dance as manufacturing, farming and energy jobs go down the drain, illegals pour over an unguarded border, crime increases, morale is killed, chaos is rising? What a SICK mentality!!!!
I love videos like this. People of different races sitting and singing together with no drama or racial tension. Music truly brings people together ❤️❤️❤️
Mannnnn I loved me some Martha Reeves when I was a little boy in the sixties, hahaha, hahaha. But I never knew until today when I was reading this article. That this was considered a protest song utilized by the Black panthers and H.Rap Brown at some of their rallies. Isn't it ironic that what this song was trying to convey way back then. People across the nation dancing in the streets, we ain't dancing but we're out in the streets together united trying to bring about change. RIP to all the fallen and I hope they are reaping the rewards of the martyrs that they are.
Just a great song on many levels! AND..I have to say...i NEVER REALLY WATCHED THE song as opposed to listen to it--and what treat! Just look at how the women dance so in time/together at 0:26...the shoulders etc., its a thing of beauty. The up-beat nature of the song....just a classic! Will love this song til i'm 119....! Glad for the post!
Man! This is an awesome tune! I get goosebumps whenever i hear it! And yet it's a very simple, straightforward song but with an extremely catchy, feel good vibe to it. A real hymn to those amazing 60's. Thanks Motown for making our lives happier! :)
You can never bet RAW SOUL of the 60s. Imitation is the best form of flattery. This is who we are when it comes to music. All of (or most of )the Rockers give props to this era of music and song. Careers were built on the backs of this form of music. Long live Motown and all the Motown's around the world. We rule.
Like a time machine, every time I hear this song it whizzes me back to mid-Sixties Memory Lane. you cannot beat 'the Motown sound!' The BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD,WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!! Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
I remember this song when I was three, growing up here in Detroit. I even remember the street parties. Man, it was fun. Every time I walk past the Motown Museum, a classic like this starts "dancing" in my head. 📀
Sharing. A spiritual uplifting song so many decades later pandemic times but with vaccine and post 45th - let us pray but for now- let us dance together in the streets!
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends
I think this above the Bowie/Jagger version is the one that sticks to me the most. I remember it being on Freemont Street overhead led light show down town sin. city and they played this to a light show. Either way just timeless. GOD WHY CANT SO MUCH OF TODAYS POP BE LIKE THIS?
forever!! My son, since the beginning, learned to enjoy "my" music - one of his memories (he tells me) is watching me dancing all over the house when doing housework with this kind of great forever music playing.
Hello I am so sorry if this sounds weirds but you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. If it's okay with you I'd love to be friends....
This song is universal. So timeless & it still rocks. It doesn't who you are - from every corners of our Earth - it kinda makes you get up and dance :)
oh my god... does this take you right back to a magic time... those of you who are lucky (old :) ) enough to remember hearing this for the very first time... wow... --Mike
I am dancing right "now" to CELEBRATE, in advance of what is about to "happen," and I will continue to celebrate until it happens, and even more so after it happens!!! "I Will Be Dancing In the Streets" of downtown #WashingtonDC!!! 🎼🎵🥁🎶🎺💙💙💙😎😎😎
Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is Monday Night. Either Oilers fans or Panthers fans will be dancing in the street after that because on of those two teams will win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993.
Martha & The Vandellas' music has me soaring through time - to my college years at the University of Maryland, College Park Campus. So upbeat and so happy; music to dance to! Those were happy years!
I played sax for MARTH REEVES at BISCAYNE BABIES in Florida around 1985. Martha is very professional and above all.....A REAL SWEETHEART!!! What a great experience.
@@alainclement9244 I backed up Ronnie too.....at a baseball field in Florida. After working with THE AUTOTONES, I was getting all the 50s music gigs...
@@alainclement9244 I have a friend from my home town living in Paris.....his name is Bobby Bishop. He published a newspaper for French speaking Americans. He has a website...but I lost his email. He was in town a while back when his father passed. He ended up in France after leaving America because he didn't want to go to Viet nam.
Any place designated by blue on the election map by county. Fact: Palm Beach county in Florida, the home of Trump's Mar A Lago resort, it's one of them, too.
The wonderful Martha Reeves, and The Vandellas. What a voice Martha has. Great song. This and "Jimmy Mack" are two special favourites of mine, and I listen to them constantly.
Get it aunties. Nothin nearly your caliber around these days. Love you all Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG! Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!

One of the most infectious and positive tunes ever made. This song is timeless. It will be played by my grandchildren. =)
Motown is probably the most loved record label on this planet and for good reason...😊
Allways and Forever... : )
l love those songs l’m from Puerto Rico but l will never change those songs that what we call music.
The city of Detroit wasn’t all that happy when Berry Gordy moved Motown to L.A. in search of bigger bucks.
Please, listen many "Blue Notes" sessions, with Rudy Van Gelden, with his withe gloves, as Sound Sorcerer. With Miles, Thelonious, Milt Jakcson.

This song is timeless. You can't help but to get up and dance. I love Marth Reeves and the Vandellas.
A happier world then .😢

"Long live Motown; Long Live the 'Girl Groups' of the 1960s".
Yes,and Martha Reeves should still be singing.
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! 😊🎉
RIP Mr. Ivy Joe Hunter, Motown Songwriter and Producer on this Iconic Song, who passed away on October 6, 2022.
Martha has such a beautiful voice and is a gorgeous woman!
My favorite girl group then and now. She IS beautiful.
this was the video which showcased her unique spirit the best
I'm with her almost everyday(best friends). She's as real as you can get. I maintain the building and her living quarters.
Please - no one can touch the original. Between the Funk Brothers' blistering groove and Martha and the Vandellas' perfect vocals, this is THE one.
Je suis entièrement ok avec vous !! L'original est la meilleure version.👍👍
I think David Bowie and Mick Jagger did a good job when they preformed this. It's so happy and gay, I can't help but smile.
Is that Marvin Gaye on drums?
Diver down dancing in the street
Ohh yes ..The 60s is one of the best music record💃💃💃💕💕
This music never gets old.
Correct
hey 👋how are you doing today??
Never ever ever
The amount of talent that converged to make this is unbelievable. Written by Marvin Gaye, who's also playing the drums, with Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter. The Funk Brothers just killing it.

+James Mack Yep, and I actually did dance in the streets in Washington DC to this song! Fantastic!
+Tom Lecakis Jimmy Mack you were my fav song .and what a great great band. sadly most of the Funk Bros are now deceased

james mack yeah, I was around. what a golden age.
When I was a kid listening to Martha and the Vandellas 'Dancing in the street'. I thought how cool that would be. Now it's a reality.
This is real music that will never die!!! It sounds so much better than today's music!! These musician's is for real!!!! Nobody can touch them!!!

Woke up with this song from the Lord this morning. We'll be celebrating the Lord's victory on Nov 5th!
He is already on the throne, and our church was dancing this morning!😇
Oh God she's so great. Every time I see her perform she brings tears to my eyes. Her charisma is top shelf, her smile, her sparkle. There's nobody like her and never will be. Wherever you are, Martha, I love you! (and I love you too Vandellas!)

The sad thing is in 20 years only us old souls who kept traditional music alive will remember this.
Hello Shirley, How are you doing?
I'm 67, white, I absolutely loooove this and always did! Thank you Motown!!!! 💯🎶🎵
Great song to dance to this evening!
Hallelujah ... we did it fellow Americans! Can't think of anything I'd rather do than dance in the street to this tune!
This song would be ranked #40 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of all Time and was added to the National Recording Registry. Now THAT'S a song!
Too bad almost none of today's songs would be given those honors.
Magical! What a classic! Perfection! These ladies delivered for the ages!💋🤭💕
I'll be 34 next month and I can't believe I remember this music. This is what my mom grew up on, but I remember her playing motown music. I'm a music junkie 😆 I love dancing, singing, watching and listening to music. I'm dancing now 😆 🤣

I was one of those white kids who didn't care (then or now) about the Beatles or the Stones. But give me Motown!

This Song greatly embodies the spirit of the mood of the 60's. Sadly, the mood did not last.
We could SO USE a National Dance Party right about now!! THIS SONG never quits!!

AMEN!
It surely did when I used to go to Bandstand.
That's what that song was all about. It was a wonderful time.
To bad black people were literally being chased by dogs and sprayed by water hoses on the outside of the building by whites.

And they're not dressed like hookers
Who's still listening to the original & always the best in November 10th 2024? Dancing In the Streets no remakes here.I was 4 when this came out.
Man! This is an awesome tune! I get goosebumps whenever i hear it! And yet it's a very simple, straightforward song but with an extremely catchy, feel good vibe to it. A real hymn to those amazing 60's. Thanks Motown for making our lives happier! :)

I think this above the Bowie/Jagger version is the one that sticks to me the most. I remember it being on Freemont Street overhead led light show down town sin. city and they played this to a light show. Either way just timeless. GOD WHY CANT SO MUCH OF TODAYS POP BE LIKE THIS?
Good music is timeless
forever!! My son, since the beginning, learned to enjoy "my" music - one of his memories (he tells me) is watching me dancing all over the house when doing housework with this kind of great forever music playing.
Damn right it doesn't.
My song for this moment, 7 Nov 2020. It surprised me, so many great songs to choose from, and so many great choices. One more time. Now.
Dancing in suits and hats... damn! LOVE THIS. My generation and THE BEST!!

So grateful for Motown Sound!
The era of back-combing and tons of hairspray! Motown is still the best!
This song is universal. So timeless & it still rocks. It doesn't who you are - from every corners of our Earth - it kinda makes you get up and dance :)
It was a great dancing song too....
all the best Janet C...steve m...

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals is Monday Night. Either Oilers fans or Panthers fans will be dancing in the street after that because on of those two teams will win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1993.
Martha & The Vandellas' music has me soaring through time - to my college years at the University of Maryland, College Park Campus. So upbeat and so happy; music to dance to! Those were happy years!

I will never get tired of this song!
I played sax for MARTH REEVES at BISCAYNE BABIES in Florida around 1985. Martha is very professional and above all.....A REAL SWEETHEART!!! What a great experience.

@@alainclement9244 I have a friend from my home town living in Paris.....his name is Bobby Bishop. He published a newspaper for French speaking Americans. He has a website...but I lost his email. He was in town a while back when his father passed. He ended up in France after leaving America because he didn't want to go to Viet nam.
Philadelphia PA! Baltimore and DC! And don’t forget the Motor City.. New York and LA...!!! 💜
Those are perfect lyrics since all those places decided this election. YAY!
Pittsburgh helped, too!
The perfect song for today 💙
Any place designated by blue on the election map by county. Fact: Palm Beach county in Florida, the home of Trump's Mar A Lago resort, it's one of them, too.
among the great songs of its era or ANY era......and I remember when it was first heard on the radio....thank you for sharing this....
What a great dancing song. Who the hell are those folks who give a thumbs down!!???
When You begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things that you lack.
one of the best songs ever, makes my heart feel good....
The wonderful Martha Reeves, and The Vandellas. What a voice Martha has. Great song. This and "Jimmy Mack" are two special favourites of mine, and I listen to them constantly.
"My Baby Loves Me" is also a classic.
Add Heat Wave for me.
Get it aunties. Nothin nearly your caliber around these days. Love you all
Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
Martha Reeves... what a sweetheart!! GREAT SONG!
