Here is another in our song title series. This one should be obvious to those who approach GZ, it is out of sight but in a not too unusual spot. Bring a pen as there is no room for a writing tool. Some will find this a physical challenge, others will view it as a way to get up in the world…choice is yours.
Congratulations to GoBeach for FTF honors!!!!
Some interesting info from Songfacts:
In this song the narrator invites her man to be hers forever so that even after they die, their spirits will climb the ladder that leads to the roof of heaven. On January 14, 1970 Diana Ross made her farewell appearance with the Supremes at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. Ross was replaced by Jean Terrell, the sister of heavyweight boxer Ernie Terrell. Though Jean Terrell's vocals sounded similar to Tammi Terrell's, they weren't related. This was the first Supremes single to feature Jean Terrell in place of Diana Ross. It meant the only original Supreme was Mary Wilson. The plan was for Terrell and Mary Wilson to alternate lead vocal duties, with the newcomer taking the lead on this song. The song found immediate success, selling over 800,000 copies. It was the first Supremes single produced by Frank Wilson, an associate of Motown songwriter Norman Whitfield. Wilson also wrote the music for the song, with the words written by Vincent DiMirco, a Puerto Rican teenager.
Terrell, whose roots were in Gospel, possessed a much stronger and soulful voice than that of Ross. During the recording of the song, Wilson had to ask Terrell to cut down on the amount of vocal runs she was doing.
Strangely enough, all Supremes singles following Diana Ross's departure fared significantly better than they had with her for years... in the UK. (Their last UK top ten hit had been "Reflections", #5 in 1967. With the new line-up, the first five consecutive singles made top ten: "Up The Ladder To The Roof": #6, "Stoned Love": #3, "Nathan Jones": #5, "Floy Joy": #9, "Automatically Sunshine": #10. Compare to the seven preceding Ross & Supremes positions, chronologically: #13, #28, #34, #15, #14, #37, #13.)
