Annotationen

Dieser Song mit dem harten Rimshot-Beat (plus Fussstampfen) und dem Call-And-Response-Gesangsstil zwischen Diana Ross und Florence Ballard bzw. Mary Wilson prägte den Motown-Sound der 60er-Jahre. Für die Supremes war es der lange ersehnte Durchbruch.
Die Supremes wurden die wichtigste amerikanische Konkurrenz der Beatles. Wie die englische Erfolgsgruppe nahmen auch sie eine deutsche Version ihres Top-Hits von 1964 auf, um in Zentraleuropa zu landen: Baby, Baby, wo ist unsere Liebe.
Besetzung
Die Funk Brothers, die Studioband, die für die Musik zuständig war, bestand aus James Jamerson (Bass), Richard 'Pistol' Allen (Drums), Eddie Willis und Robert White (Gitarren), Earl Van Dyke ( Piano), Andrew 'Mike' Terry (Baritone saxophone solo), Jack Ashford (Vibraphon) und Mike Valvano (stomping).

Lyrics

Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself. I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me and it hurts so bad. You came into my heart (baby, baby) so tenderly, With a burning love (baby, baby) That stings like a bee (baby, baby). Now that I surrender (baby, baby) so helplessly, You now want to leave (baby, baby). Ooh, you wanna leave me (baby, baby). Ooh (baby, baby). Baby, baby, where did our love go? Ooh, don't you want me? Don't you want me no more (baby, baby)? Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, where did our love go? And all your promises of a love forevermore! I've got this burning, burning, yearning feelin' inside me. Ooh, deep inside me, and it hurts so bad. Before you won my heart (baby, baby) You were a perfect guy. But now that you got me, You wanna leave me behind (baby, baby). Ooh, baby. Baby, baby, baby don't leave me. Ooh, please don't leave me all by myself (baby, baby). Ooh.
