Alton Ellis - "You've Made Me So Very Happy" (Official Audio)

- Опубликовано: 8 май 2014
- Co-written and first recorded in 1967 by Brenda Holloway, ‘You've Made Me So Very Happy’ became the singer's third Top 40 pop single, when the single reached Number 39 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and 40 on the Billboard R&B singles chart.
Covered by 1969, Blood, Sweat & Tears in 1969, the song became one of the US pop group's biggest hits, reaching Number 2 on the American Billboard Hot 100 in April and 35 in the UK the following month.
Further versions of the song include interpretations by Holloway’s fellow Tamla performers, Edwin Starr & Blinky, Chris Clark, the Temptations, the Miracles, the Hearts of Stone and Diana Ross, while Bobbie Gentry, Cher, Lou Rawls, Sammy Davis Jr., Mina, Shirley Bassey, Gloria Estefan and Julian Ovenden have also covered the number.
By the time Alton Ellis recorded his soulful version at Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle studio in Bond Street, Kingston in 1970, the singer-songwriter was firmly established as one of the island’s most celebrated artists, having enjoyed numerous ska, rock steady and reggae hits over the preceding decade.
Alton also cut the song for Reid’s main rival, Clement ‘Coxson’ Dodd, but it is the Treasure Isle cut that remains his seminal interpretation of the composition.
YOU'VE MADE ME SO VERY HAPPY LYRICS
Written by Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, Frank Wilson and Berry Gordy
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo
I've lost at love, at love, at love before
Got mad and I closed and I closed and I closed the door
And you say try just once more
And you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You've always shown me that
Loving you is where it's at
You've made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
The others were untrue
But when it came to loving you, now
I'd spend my whole life with you, girl
'Cos you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You've always shown me that
Loving you is where it's at
You've made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo
I've lost at love, at love, at love before
Got mad and I closed and I closed and I closed the door
And you say try just once more
And you came and you took control
You touched my very soul
You've always shown me that
Loving you is where it's at
You've made me so very happy
I'm so glad you came into my life
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo
Wah-ooh-wah-ooh, woo-oo

It doesn't matter what color you are, how old you are, or what year it is, good music is good music . Good music knows no boundaries .
So much shit these days, how will young people ever make good music again?
@@cunobelinusX31 watch the old slaves that bring soul and blues till our hearts. Everybody has bad times, black people had and they create good music tho
Bowy yuh nah lie mi Genaral
That’s right my brother 👍
James, well said Sir, my sentiment always. I only knew the Blood Sweat & Tears version (which is very good). while the composition of this song is nothing compared to the Blood Sweat and tears release. I found original soul version, just so cool - good music is good music Sir x
I sing this to my husband and our baby... I cry everytime! I'm so thankful for this life
Hugs Queen 👑
GOD BLESS SISTER CHIN UP❤
"2:20"
My girlfriend and I spend our evenings listening to Alton Ellis when we make dinner.
Big up 🇯🇲
THATS LOVE!x
Saaaame
What a dream
The dream !!!!!
Alton Ellis is among the GREATEST Rocksteady vocalists of all time.
Straightforward, rustic, countryman, unfettered, crystal clear, grabbing, soul satisfying, miraculously bare and essential.
Wow! I love your description of Mr Altons singing x
Sunnyisland I most wholeheartedly agree!
Beautifully said🤗
Alton's singing capability is instantly noticeable, I've always admired his voice out of all the reggae singers I've ever heard. Justin Hinds also captured my imagination, I really like his voice too. Of course, Eric Donaldson with Cherry Oh Baby is just iconic. Funnily enough, the most famous reggae artist ever Bob Marley, was only average at singing.
Sir, I thought you were going to run out of superlatives but no lol. Great description.
The God Father himself Mr.Rock steady/Reggae Mr Alton Elis ..March 2020 had to hit replay .. please hit like if you’re loving this Bass- line..
GOD BLESS 🇯🇲
BEST MUSIC CREATED.REGGAE,SKA
FROM PUERTO RICO 🇵🇷
I would but this computer I'm listening on has no bass :(
The Bass in the mix is stunning for its age.
Someone knew what they were doing.
Aun escuchando esa canción desde México en el 2024, quien más???

🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
2020 who? 50 years!
Yuuumps
Yes I
Good tunes never age
BIG UP🔥
Yes
Found this man at 35 years old. Every song he has touches my soul. It’s like my heart was missing his music.
You really think so
Wow.
Found him at 21 I'm 58 now. I was really involved in the Reggae scene here in Boston.
I feeeeel you in this. Such a beautiful song and he is amazing. Gives me chills.
Me also
Ain't no music like classic crackling hits from JAMAICA!! 🇯🇲
Why we don’t have music like this anymore?
Because we don’t have people like this anymore 😔
It's not what the mainstream music industry wants to sell.
Money
Because they are no Americans writing and singing songs like this so could copy it
@@river4462 because this particular song as with others he did was originally done by an American
Holy shit, that voice. Had never heard Anton Ellis until today.
sharpie9dud Wow
Alton.
They say that once a tear has fallen, the willow cries eternally.
Igual q yo amigo, saludos
Mr. Ellis was the tear that fell, we are the willows who weep, but he has found the love he searched for, so let's be happy and be thankful that the LORD blessed us with his talents for a limited amount of time. RIP Alton (and Hortense too). ✌❤😊
Dem a use all the reggae song in movies and commercials but on dem award show dem nah give no award for reggae artists. One white man name magic get award for reggae. Man mi tell yuh the word is full of injustice.
Hermano la buena música no necesita un premio, la buena música solo necesito llegar a los oídos correctos y abrir conciencias.
Takes me back to growing up in Custom House, E16 I lived in a block of maisonettes and everyone would be blaring out their music all from different backgrounds it was amazing, my mum would be blasting out Country n Western, my Dad a bit of ska, two tone, little bit of 70's punk, downstairs we had the neighbours playing the likes of madness and ub40, but it was my next door neighbour Bev, who was a proud jamaican who always played the best tunes, lots old school reggae and it had the whole block dancing and coming together. Those were the days ❤
Community at its best!
No auto tune. Just reggae.
Fresh as the first day we heard it. ❤
I heard this song on a tv commercial and immediately hit Shazam not knowing it’s the great Alton Ellis… wowwwwwwww!!!

jasmine DL I love this song.
new generations, culture shift, different self conciousness or lack, corporation $ and selling ones soul and etc.....who knows. But thank God Jamaica changed the world forever by innovation and by massively talented creators....at least we have that to remember.
@@am5790 and it only get worse the more as the internet advances
@@melancholy5980 frighteningly so...authorship has been shift towards those who are less about making it by their artistic and soulful merit but the lure of shallow lifestyle. Yes, I has become joyless. Sometimes I wonder if it always has been so and I was blinded by my youthful energy. I don't know, I wonder sometimes.

Just wonderful
Such an iconic, classic reggae choon! I have this on 12", with a dubwise version excursion!!
About five or six years ago I was in Colombia at a club and they played this song, all the women wanted to dance this song. I was the only non-colombian at the club and the DJ played this song several times so the women could get a chance to dance this song with me. I FELT great that night.
Outstanding
Better than the original. Best. Dreamy. Beautiful. Love this man.
No its not
Original was by Brenda Holloway. It was her last single on Motown in 1967.
The best version ever
