If this song was to be released in 2024 it would still be a hit the beat is timeless ❤ Funny to think when she went on the road with the Hitsville clan her backup singers were the Temptations
The Funk Brothers the greatest backup musical group there was, They backed up so many artist in Motown their music was extraordinary they are the maestro of sound no one could perform the sounds of backup like the Funk Brothers. The greatest backup artist there ever were of music. Rest in peace Funk Brothers thank you for giving us such great music.
That's because it was the great Funk Brothers who were backing her up on the music the legendary Funk Brothers no one and I mean no one could top the Funk Brothers in music
Fascinating... the drummer was really in the pocket and added so much to the great sound of this Motown classic. This record just works, and you have once again demonstrated why.
When ever I hear some of Motown's early hit's from 1962 to '63 sung by Mary Wells. I ALWAYS think of my Aunt Ellery. We called her "punpkin"/pumpkin, she was a young 15yr old at the time and would baby sit me and my siblings and take us places etc.. Those were some good times.....To Motown, and Aunt Ellery,who is STILL with us and Mary Wells..RIP... thanks for the memories.
One of the many beautiful highlights I love with these great extended versions, is getting to hear those silky smooth harmonies & instrumentation backing phenomenal lead vocals - in this case, it's the captivating voice of Mary Wells whose unmistakable & sexy lure works every single time !
Just in case you didn't know, the owner of this channel, mosogotam, whose real name is John Perrone, sadly passed away April 5, 2020 from COVID-19. He was an absolute genius for this and all the other wonderful tracks he created. May he rest in peace.
I didn't know. I always thought he should have a Sirius channel featuring his extended productions as well as highlighting early rock and early R&B. Perhaps someone could do that now.
I love this extended edition much more than the radio edition. This song dazzles my brilliance. Also, Gene Chandler had a song that sounds similar to "You Beat Me to the Punch," which is called, "You Threw a Lucky Punch." This music has a touch of class. It has the best style.
This was the first record I ever bought, along with the Marvelettes, "Playboy," and Neal Sedaka's, "Breaking up is Hard To Do." I still recall the store on 14th Street where i bought them. I have never tired of this one !
this is the first song I ever heard that I fell in love with...I had heard music before but nothing grabbed at my heart like "YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH". from the first note to the last. and thank you for uploading this version. you are a very talented person. you would have a very valuable asset at Motown.
Musical tastes change but this song and Mary Wells generally illustrate the best of early 1960s R&B and rock music. And the Funk Brothers set the pace for studio musicians of the era, and perhaps any era. I read that the Funk Brothers loved to work with Mary Wells as she was an excellent musician and of course singer. They made her better, and she made them better
Have you read the book about her life? It would actually be quite a downer of a movie. Her biggest problem was she had terrible taste in men. But to me she had "that voice" and is a legend.
my very 1st vinyl single was by Mary wells my reason iit happened was that babe's sexy voice then, I saw this stunning beauty on stage this impressive lady had it all
And in response, Mary dedicated an entire album to Beatles' songs: Mary Wells "Love Songs To The Beatles" Full vinyl album -- right here on RUclips: ruclips.net/video/DnO3kdHiyvg/видео.html. Smart move, Mary. For an additional variation on the Beatles try (also on RUclips): The Beatles In Bossa Nova [FULL ALBUM] [1999] ruclips.net/video/ZLUgYlmNLB0/видео.html (a delightful find).
+Chuck Flowers Smokey wrote the lyrics, melody, and the music. The Funk Brothers played what Smokey directed them to play. Smokey wrote music and lyrics, not just lyrics.
+Jerry Johnson Smokey wrote the lyrics, melody, and the music. The Funk Brothers played what Smokey directed them to play. Smokey wrote music and lyrics, not just lyrics.
+hollidayevery Thank you for your reply...this is why I loved albums; the 'liner notes,' which gave you writers, lyrics and names of the musicians and the instruments they played on a song. Be well. Blessings
AHHHHH!!!!!! I was wondering when you would get to some of the "QUEEN" of Motown's hits.. and you picked a true classic to begin this journey with!!!!! as always the visuals make this track priceless!! Bravo,pisano...as always.....all the best from NYC///joey
Outstanding! The perfect way to reveal all the coolness in the backing tracks! Hope you'll do The One Who Really Loves You in this same form. Thanks for your work!
God! It would be awesome to have a whole cd of your remixes. Universal should hire you. Great stuff. What a great song btw. Don't know if your in NYC but there is going to be a Motown tribute at Carnegie Hall next Thursday the 9th of February.
She stood up to Barry Gordy being cheap..and she saved herself alot of grief. When you look at the scene deeper and with time it asks the question'what did Motown lose by losing her...she had maturity and polish and could have taken them light years beyond their given outcomes.
Read the book about her life. She did not save herself a lot of grief. Her greatest travails began after leaving Motown. She followed her husband's advice to leave Motown and it ended up being disastrous advice. That's not to say she never released anything good after Motown. I personally really like "Ain't it the Truth" , her best single on 20th Century Fox, "The Doctor" on Atco, and (sorta, kinda) "Gigolo" on Epic. But when she left Motown she left her greatest producer Smokey Robinson. No one ever produced her that well after she left Motown.
Edgar....I know. RUclips had me take down other Mary Wells songs that I extended. Makes me a little gun shy to put any others up. Sorry. Glad you like this one, though.
Is that The Temptations on male backgrounds? The rhythm section got a lot of mileage out of that 'cha-cha' beat here and in "The One Who Really Loves You." RIP Benny, James, Eddie, Popcorn, Brokes, and the rest...
Mary Wells with the Tempts backing her, the Funk Brothers laying down the rhythm...you get a masterpiece... and it's extended... what more could you ask for? Thank you!! ❤ @mosogotam
William Mason you are absolutely right. My Cooley High moment was in summer of 1975 when it came to the movie theaters. What a great cast of actors, not to mention the All Motown Soundtrack.
Kid Sanders I hear you brother. That is a classic film. Used to own a DvD copy and watch it, taking in the music. Laughing at Preach, Cochise and the crew lol
She was before the era of Cooley High. Most of her songs were put out in the late 1950s and 1960s, but no doubt a walk down memory lane. I was 5 years old when Cooley High came out, great movie, classic.
NOW THAT IS CLASSIC MOTOWN YES THATS WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC AND TO THINK IT WAS ANALOG TAPE YES ALL MISTAKES STAYED ON THE TAPE SO THEY HAD TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TAKE BERRY GORDY WAS ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET BACK IN THOSE EARL DAYS
they say Marvin gaye was a backup singer in some of her songs while standing around and smokey asked him to stand right there and gave him a mike and wow just what he needed you can hear the backup great
I do the same thing but have never been able to upload them. One of the guys was able to get permission to sell one of his remixes. The song is, "Tinsel Town In The Rain," by Blue Nile and he had so many requests to buy his "Max Mix.," that he finally got to put it up for sale on Itunes. I don't know what he did and he doesn't seem to be talking, but you might want to contact him, and see what he did for permission. Thanks for sharing this
It is surprising to find both. Berry Gordy talks about the "quality control" he put into his Motown productions, but he missed on this. This was one of the first big hits for Motown. I suspect Gordy didn't have his operation in high gear yet. Or it could be that Gordy really didn't want to groom Mary. Mary Wells' vocalizations and general treatment of this song is exceptional, but she could have done another take to eliminate this (minor) flaw.
Happy Birthday to Mary Wells REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
If this song was to be released in 2024 it would still be a hit the beat is timeless ❤ Funny to think when she went on the road with the Hitsville clan her backup singers were the Temptations
That early Motown Sound is unmistakable!!
A classic OLDSCHOOL song that brings back many memories from a distant time of pure dancing and talent.
The Funk Brothers the greatest backup musical group there was, They backed up so many artist in Motown their music was extraordinary they are the maestro of sound no one could perform the sounds of backup like the Funk Brothers. The greatest backup artist there ever were of music. Rest in peace Funk Brothers thank you for giving us such great music.
James Brown JB's.
Love at first sight 14 years old in 1962. Still my favorite.
Even at 10 years old a little white boy in Bakersfield California thought this was such a cool song. Still do!
I Love this Song Rip Mary Wells You Are gone But Never Forgotten I love The Extended Version Thank You For Sharing.
I dont ever remember hearing a clearer version of this. THANK YOU!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the signature drum beat and riffs on this song!
That's because it was the great Funk Brothers who were backing her up on the music the legendary Funk Brothers no one and I mean no one could top the Funk Brothers in music
Fascinating... the drummer was really in the pocket and added so much to the great sound of this Motown classic. This record just works, and you have once again demonstrated why.
Thanks a lot Steven!!!
The drummers were part of The Funk Brothers!
When music was music, beautiful era for music 60" ooldies are just eternal. it never gets old.
Great great great make me feel, happiness

All these extended versions are fabulous.
Examiner...thanks so much!!
my favorite mary well song. could listen to it forever,
Listening to extended long versions of motown oldies, great music takes you back to the day.
These extended editions of this great-old music revive me. Mosogotam pulled another one off.
I love this extended edition much more than the radio edition. This song dazzles my brilliance. Also, Gene Chandler had a song that sounds similar to "You Beat Me to the Punch," which is called, "You Threw a Lucky Punch." This music has a touch of class. It has the best style.
Mary was the Queen of Motown before she left. Imagine if she had stayed, the million sellers she would have sung!!
This absolutely kills! Excellent!
This was the first record I ever bought, along with the Marvelettes, "Playboy," and Neal Sedaka's, "Breaking up is Hard To Do." I still recall the store on 14th Street where i bought them. I have never tired of this one !
Watch-out Now! Here comes that "Playboy"!

This is one great song by a beautiful and extremely talented lady!! I love the extended version!! Thank you for the post!!
My favorite female singer
this is the first song I ever heard that I fell in love with...I had heard music before but nothing grabbed at my heart like "YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH". from the first note to the last. and thank you for uploading this version. you are a very talented person. you would have a very valuable asset at Motown.
Wow, this extended version is like having a clear road map to your destination !!! I understand it so clear !!!
Musical tastes change but this song and Mary Wells generally illustrate the best of early 1960s R&B and rock music. And the Funk Brothers set the pace for studio musicians of the era, and perhaps any era.
I read that the Funk Brothers loved to work with Mary Wells as she was an excellent musician and of course singer. They made her better, and she made them better
Well done! Love the song!
This was so very well done.
We need a movie about her life. I like the extended version.
Have you read the book about her life? It would actually be quite a downer of a movie. Her biggest problem was she had terrible taste in men. But to me she had "that voice" and is a legend.
Bongo brown creating some magic on those famous bongos.Nice one Mosogotam
Love it, listen closely and you'll hear the xylophone at the end of the song
my very 1st vinyl single was by Mary wells
my reason iit happened was that babe's sexy voice
then, I saw this stunning beauty on stage
this impressive lady had it all
I've always loved the drumming in this great song. Glad for all the work you did, Mosogotam. RIP.
Unbelievable playing,singing and this mix..whoa! I'm a guitar playing type and these mixes show y''all just what is going on...love!
everybody loved this girl EVEN THE BEATLES

My Guy And Beat You to The Punch were my first Mary Wells 45's that made me fall in love with her.
Brilliant!!! Thank you so much.
msvlines...thanks so much!

The reason I always loved her songs was because of the background vocals and it turns out it was the Temptations!
Great video
Waaaaaay back in 1962!!!!! Despite the hell our enemy was putting us through,we made beautiful music. Not much has changed sadly.
The First Lady of Motown 💖💕🥰😍😘

mackjay2 Thanks so much, MackJay!!!
+mosogotam You keep knockin' 'em out of the park!
Mary may be Queen and every teenage boys dream girl in 62..But the Funk brothers drummer in Motown set that dynamic sound!
God! It would be awesome to have a whole cd of your remixes. Universal should hire you. Great stuff. What a great song btw. Don't know if your in NYC but there is going to be a Motown tribute at Carnegie Hall next Thursday the 9th of February.

We love Mary wells
このナンバー好き。他、🎵「バッドボーイ」や「スイーテストボーイ」、「マイ・ガイ」とか、「ウィスパーユーラブミーボーイ」なんかも大好き。
Love tone in background
Also, the male background singers blend extra harmony, along with the musical instruments right into this song.
Those wonderful male background singers are The Temptations, I do believe.
@@salkurc6134 I wish these extended songs would have been recorded just like that at Motown over 60 years ago. Thank you for writing to me.
This one punches to the beat!
SUPER! SUPER!....AWESOME!...TUNE!
Talking about old schoolers flashback! 💥
just great what else can you say
You need to do more Mary Wells, homeboy. I believe this is the only Mary Wells song you've extended
Edgar....I know. RUclips had me take down other Mary Wells songs that I extended. Makes me a little gun shy to put any others up. Sorry. Glad you like this one, though.
I would've liked to hear His Extended Mix of "You Lost the Sweetest Boy". That one is like going to church!
By the way folks, the album she did with 20th Century Fox after she left Motown is now available on Cd. It is worth Checking out.
Leonard James Yes, "Dear Lover" has always been one of my favorites by her!!
@@horizontoday7874 Dear Lover was on Atco
@@giano56 I thought it was on Atlantic. "the Doctor" was on Atco.
didn't know they had a extended version 🤔 that's my Girl!
Good song
...and the Tempts on background vocals....
Doesn't get any better than this.
The Elgins I think.
@@iluvrachellef No dear the Temptations.
@@carolyngardner4999 The Love-Tones.
It was the Love-Tones on background.
" Little Miss Hit Maker " revamped and revised by the " Hit Remaker ". Beautiful touch to a beautiful song.
Dang. Amazing!
" SHE WAS THE GREATEST "
Is that The Temptations on male backgrounds? The rhythm section got a lot of mileage out of that 'cha-cha' beat here and in "The One Who Really Loves You." RIP Benny, James, Eddie, Popcorn, Brokes, and the rest...
King Bee Those are the Love-Tones.
Yes that's the great legendary Temptations
Nice
Mary Wells with the Tempts backing her, the Funk Brothers laying down the rhythm...you get a masterpiece... and it's extended... what more could you ask for? Thank you!! ❤ @mosogotam
So, you beat me to the punch, but that's OK baby; 'cause I beat you to the Guacamole dip!
Having a Cooley High moment!

Marvin Gaye played musical instruments on one or more of Mary Wells' songs. He was an excellent musician, and singer.
2:17
That is SO Mary Wells.
that oh-hoh-oh-oh! sends me too! totally Mary Wells Who I grew up on!
It's the Love Tones backing Mary, not the Tempts!
Love tone back ground
💘
Where are all these extended versions coming from and where can I buy them?
I create these extended versions as a hobby....I can't sell them due to copyright restrictions.
I do the same thing but have never been able to upload them. One of the guys was able to get permission to sell one of his remixes. The song is, "Tinsel Town In The Rain," by Blue Nile and he had so many requests to buy his "Max Mix.," that he finally got to put it up for sale on Itunes. I don't know what he did and he doesn't seem to be talking, but you might want to contact him, and see what he did for permission. Thanks for sharing this
No...I'm not really interested in selling them. I just enjoy creating them.
Cool.....wonderful stuff. and thanks again for sharing.
Leonard...thanks a lot...I appreciate it!
You can not touch Motown.
so she says "asked me" and "axed me" in the same song...okay...they weren't supposed to do that.
no problem for the original queen of motown; she can sing any lyric she desires. be blessed
It is surprising to find both. Berry Gordy talks about the "quality control" he put into his Motown productions, but he missed on this. This was one of the first big hits for Motown.

I need a copy of that song where to find it to buy
