you?
Martha ReevesGUEST
I was so thrilled that I was allowed to come in the door as I was going there because I was invited.
Martha ReevesGUEST
I had been performing after Tony Grant in Detroit, and William Stevenson, better known as Mickey, approached me and said, you have talent.
Martha ReevesGUEST
Come to Hitsville, USA.
Martha ReevesGUEST
Well, I went the next morning.
Martha ReevesGUEST
Anyway, when she came, we had a good time.
Martha ReevesGUEST
And she was happy that there was someone there in the A&R department to take the calls.
Martha ReevesGUEST
Maybe William Stevenson, better known as Mickey, was too busy to take care of our two handles.
Martha ReevesGUEST
Yeah.

This was a standalone single for the Motown record label.

It was written by William Mickey Stevenson and George Gordy.

And it didn't actually do anything.

The reason why we're talking about it is because of the fact that it did not do anything.
Jack RabidHOST
as was the action.
Jack RabidHOST
That's my favorite action song of all time, them covering the Marvelettes, the Mickey Stevenson and Ivy Jo Hunter song that only went to number 34 in the charts for the Marvelettes.
Jack RabidHOST
It wasn't like top of the charts like Please Mr. Postman or anything like that.
Jack RabidHOST
It should have.
Chris GoldenHOST
It takes two from 1967.
Chris GoldenHOST
It was written by Mickey Stevenson, who is actually Kim Weston's husband, and Sylvia Moye.
Chris GoldenHOST
And it was so popular it kind of eclipsed any of the duets that Marvin Gaye had been doing with Tammy Terrell.
Chris GoldenHOST
That will be followed by the Marvelettes who were the first Motown group to have a number one.
