    Mary Wells was the first big female star at Motown, soon to be followed by Martha Reeves and then Diana Ross

    Guys, both "My Guy" and "My Girl" were written by Smokey Robinson.

    Another great singer from the Motown era in the 60's. Smokey Robinson wrote most of her songs. "My Guy" was Mary Well's biggest hit but she had a lot of great songs such as "Bye Bye Baby", "I Don't Want To Take A Chance", "The One Who Really Loves You", "You Beat Me To The Punch", "Two Lovers", "Laughing Boy", "Your Old Standby", "You Lost The Sweetest Boy", "What's Easy For Two Is So Hard For One", "Operator" etc. She did some duets with Marvin Gaye "Once Upon A Time" & "What's The Matter With You Baby".

      @maskedavenger2578 2 года назад

      Had her greatest hits in 1970 that had been reissued on a budget record label . Wore the groves out of the LP record ,I played it that much . Loved her singing that early Motown bossanova style soul . Always made you feel she was singing personally to you alone . Female singers back then had more class & elegance & didn’t need to appear half naked on stage to get attention .

  • @mamb70
    @mamb70 2 года назад +43

    Loved this back then, still do. Timeless great song! Shindig & Hullabaloo were great shows were current artists sung their current songs. TWO LOVERS & YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH r equally as good. Appreciate u reacting to one or both.

    My favorite songs coming out of the Motown sound, and they had a lot of chart toppers. But this particular song by Mary Wells has great memories and we used to sing to the lyrics… These are the great songs because we remember the words 65 years later

    The song My Guy by Mary Wells was released a year (1964) before the song My Girl (1965) by the Temptations.

    Smokey Robinson wrote “My Guy “for Mary Wells“ first, then did the sequel for the Temptations with “My Girl” and both of them were hits.

  • @bam55sgarage77
    @bam55sgarage77 2 года назад +15

    Just to let you know this song was written by Smokey Robinson who also wrote My Girl for The Temptations. He wrote a lot of Mary's songs and also for other Motown artist including himself with his group The Miracles.

    • @jackjules7552
      @jackjules7552 2 года назад

      I have to say that Mary's decision to leave Motown right after My Guy was a hit was a very unwise one.

    Ms Mary Wells has an incredible catalog! You Beat Me to the Punch, Two Lovers, The One Who Really Loves You, and Old Stand By! Love that your reactions are to the best music ever! Thank you for appreciating where it all came from!🥰🥰

    • @mamb70
      @mamb70 2 года назад +1

      Exactly I suggested Two Lovers & Punch. RUclipsrs almost always react to what others react to. Probably don't get blocked and don't want the hassle of reacting to a new song and get blocked. Also if a song is popular more likely to generate more likes meaning more money. Do u notice how most "like" every song. It can't be possible! Either new viewers won't click to watch or upset patreons who donate and won't donate. Im listening to music over 60 years, like thousands of song, dislike or hate,some songs.

  • @susanmosley6288

    Actually My Girl was written as an answer song to My Guy. After the release of My Girl the The Temptations with The Supremes released a song called "My Guy, My Girl" that was a combination of both songs. I loved both songs.

    "You Lost The Sweetest Boy " is one of Marys' 2 sided hits & features both the Supremes & Temptations on back ground vocal.Mary set the pace for all female soul singers after her. She was the FIRST in the modern era to also dress in high fashion. She was saying "Black is Beautiful" before the saying caught on.When she walked out on stage audiences went crazy. She was 16 when she wrote & recorded her first record/hit "Bye Bye Baby" I was in love with her since I was 11 in 1961.

    When my mum was a girl, she didn't have to look out for people who wanted to take her down. People are more self-serving at the expense of others now, the whole world of people has become more corrupt and we have to watch out for ourselves. It is so sad that we can't just be happy for each other anymore.

  • @jackjules7552
    @jackjules7552 2 года назад +1

    My Guy was first...and then the Temptations answered with My Girl. Unfortunately Mary Wells walked out on her Motown contract right after My Guy was a hit after she had had several hits with Motown. It was all about money. Unfortunately Mary was never able to duplicate the success she had had at Motown after leaving to go to other record companies.
