This is a timeless song, the lyrics are relevant after any breakup, regardless of the decade you're in

That Morse code staccato intro NAILS IT. Love every time it returns. Drummer KILLS IT.

Can you imagine what your life would be like without music from Motown. Because I can't, this song is fire. If you grooving, then you have great taste.

R.I.P Mary and Florence

Some songs are just perfect. This is one.

Most 60s & 70s Motown music ARE just perfect; lyrics, voices, orchestration. My generation really DID have the best music.

This song is perfect in every musical aspect... perfectly written and performed... IT WILL NEVER GET OLD!👍🏾💯💯

Loved the guitar intro. Absolute killer. Also RIP Mary and Florence.

The supremes are great singers and was back in 1966, and also year I was born 💙

One of the best Motown songs, listen to how hard that rhythm section hits. Drums and guitar are so aggressive. Jamerson funking around on bass as per usual.

The Supremes were just so stunning and phenomenal and when Diana, Mary and Flo go then you know they know how to inspire with their beautiful selves. RIP, Flo Ballard and Mary Wilson

It’s 1966. I’m seven years old. I’m in the back seat of my father’s old Pontiac. We are driving from Schenectady to Miami. This song hits the old AM radio. Oh my God! What is that? It was so exciting that I wanted the DJ to play it over and over. My!

The great trailblazer, Icon and Legend that is Diana Ross. Love this song.

From the very start this is supreme.

I just came here to pay my respect to Mary&Flo. Rest easy ladies 🕊⚘

RIP Mary Wilson. And only 1 remains. We love you Diana

I love the bassline in this song!!!

This song never lets up for 3 minutes and change. Motown sure knew how to produce hit after hit, and give America great groups, ladies and gents alike. The Supremes are tops for me. Can't beat them. And let's not forget the Four Tops and Levi's soulful hurting voice and David Ruffin with the Temps and solo. ALL these groups just give me chills, even 50 years later. Thank you Motown!

Real instruments, real voices, real music.

July 3rd 2022 and I’m awakened to this song in my head. I’m 30 years old. I had to go to UKposts and give a listen.

At 26, this song makes a whole lot of sense. 💯🔥🔥🔥 THIS IS SUPREME

It hasn't aged a day. Still as powerful as I imagine it must have been back then.

Holland-Dozier-Holland were songwriting geniuses. Their importance to Motown cannot be understated. The Supremes killed it on this track, just amazing.

The guitar, the bass line, the drums, the back up voices, the lead, the photos. WOW that's Pop music at its very finest right there!

Even more pleasurable to listen to through headphones. God bless Motown!

I love that Flo gets an actual solo line in one of their hits she was so happy when they released it this way!!

Classic motown fabulous tune.

Classic music from three beautiful ladies!

THE RINGING GUITAR LICK STAYS IN MY MIND. AND THE LEAD VOCALS CUT RIGHT THROUGH THE MICROPHONE. AWESOME. SONG.

I love this song. The lyrics, guitar, bass line, everything. Perfection.

There are great girl groups. Then there are The Supremes. This track catches them at the height of their stellar powers. Nobody has come even remotely close to matching their style of glamour and groove. Mary Wilson was a class act. RIP

Mary, we will miss you and your beautiful smile and personality! Those great memories and songs will live on forever!

How can anyone not like motown,full of soul as always

In the "HOOD" 1966, I remember Chicago teens playing this mega hit at "supervised" parties with parents hovering over them. I was quite young, around 9, at the time.

Mary Wilson will never be forgotten. RIP Mary.

RIP Lamont Dozier.

One of the most perfect 3 minutes in Popular Music. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female, what your ethnic origin is, whether you are rich or poor , gay or straight. There is something immediate and direct about this track. Beautifully sung and produced. I think it's awesome.

The supreme at their finest!! James Jameson killed that bass line!!

This must have been a revolutionary track back in mind 60's. So different from other songs. Thanks to the writers.

The whole cadence of this song is absolutely fantastic!

Motown forever

Another example of the brilliance of Motown!

RIP MARY WILSON Thanks for the beautiful songs. I'm from Sao Paulo/Brazil

I love this song so damn much. 2020 and forever Supreme!

greatest female group of all time.

Timeless lyrics...

A perfect song, indeed! Thank you Diana, Mary, Florence AND the session musicians who didn't get the credit that they deserved!!

Love The Supremes. One of my favorites is"my world is empty without you".

There is so much emotion in their voices. This could have just been another pop song, but you can feel the pain and heartbreak when they sing, I think it makes all the difference

a pure hard edge rock song delivered by the greatest girl group in history. just amazing.

This song was ahead of its time and timeless. Loved Kim Wilde’s version too in the 80s which is the first version I heard her version is really faithful to the original you can’t improve on perfection.

This were a hit song because sooo many females and males could relate to these three queens, the Supreme's words they were singing by their really beautiful spiritual heartfelt vocals.

For me they were black American Royalty. I loved them, they had talent, STYLE and grace... and they seemed to always sing about love, broken, lost, found celebrated or otherwise. Their sound was amazing.

All these sistas are talented and smokin gorgeous! I love the Supremes!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

One of the greatest songs of all time. And that's a fact.

Dude. The bassline in this song. FINE as hell, God DAMN.

My favorite song from my all time favorite girl group. The Supremes were my first favorite group along with the Four Seasons and The Temptations as a child in the 60's. Those unique voices come once in a lifetime.

I woke up this morning, with this song playing in my head. April 4, 2021, Easter Sunday.

The Suprêmes Perfection and Great Class for Motown I love it

God rest your soul Mary Davis 🙏♥️ she went on to reign in the '80s in the SOS band!! She made great music!!!

Yep. I went through twenty-three years of being kept "hangin' on" and finally found the door. Thanks for this lovely song, ladies!

Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson were sooooooo damn good lookin!!

Jameson, the genius, the master. RIP great man

Long Live Da beautiful Florence Ballard 🌹🕊️❤️🎶

These songs are so good that they should not ever be remade.

You three great women are much missed. Thanks for your great songs

Gorgeous, all of them. My son has just discovered Soul and R&B old school music. He said , “ mom I was born in the wrong era when it comes to music”. He said that he follows Smokey Robinson on social media. 🤦🏾‍♀️👏🏾

I heard this song in a restaurant today and they were blasting it LOUD. The system sounded amazing so I shared it on my fb page.

I'm a teenager and I love the supremes

This my brother's favorite Supremes song. One of my favorite by the legendary group.

This just rocks from beginning to end.

What a sound they put out in that little house Hitsville, USA. Detroit, Michigan!!!!

God I wish I could go back in time only to see all these great artists in concert. The 60's by them self where OK but the music was GREAT!

As soon as I hear that guitar ringing in the beginning it takes me back to my childhood instantly

RIP Mary Wilson. Another legend gone too soon.😭😭

LYRICS: Set me free why don't you babe Get out of my life why don't you babe 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on You don't really need me But you keep me hangin' on Why do you keep a comin' around Playing with my heart Why don't you get out of my life And let me make a new start Let me get over you The way you've gotten over me Set me free why don't you babe Let me be why don't you babe 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on Now you don't really want me You just keep me hangin' on You say although we broke up You still wanna be just friends How can we still be friends When seeing you only breaks my heart again (And there ain't nothing I can do about it) Whoa, whoa, whoa Set me free why don't you babe (whoa, whoa, whoa) Get out of my life why don't you babe You don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on You don't really need me But iou keep me hangin' on You claim you still care for me But your heart and soul needs to be free And now that you've got your freedom You wanna still hold on to me You don't want me for yourself So let me find somebody else Why don't you be a man about it And set me free No you don't care a thing about me You're just using me Go on, get out, get out of my life Let me sleep at night 'Cause you don't really love me You just keep me hangin' on You don't really need me So, let me be, set me free

That wall of sound this song the beat and speed its delivered is perfection!

My favorite version of one of the greatest songs of all time. Diana: "Haha! You crazy!" LOL

That guitar is madly great.

Still loving this in 2022!!💕💕💕💕

It’s 2019 lm 62 and this song makes me so happy good times, anyone else?

Great tune by The Supremes. I want to give a shout out to James Jamerson for playing that amazing bass line!

#TheSupremes, Love the guitar riffs in this song. #MotownRecords had great musicians and singers. This is one of my all time favorite Supremes songs 😀👍🎸🎸🪘🎷🎺🎻🎹💙💖💜

I loved the original Supreme. I only wish i had found the love you song about. Now im 71 years old, and on heart never found the love song about by the Angels, know as the Original Supreme. Know those whom have past away, rest in piece, with the world's love, you created

The finest hour of Motown: drum roll intro, pile driving beat & clipped vocals - the best, from a time when the music could make your spine tingle !

This song has been randomly playing in my head for day's and today I decided to play this song 🤗great song 🎤R.I.P. MaryWilson who recently passed away 🙏😇

Hard to top this value of song writing. We'll never see pop music written like this again

I always loved Diana voice...no one sounds like her.

Real music!

The music is timeless.

This song is fresher today than yesterday! Gets better in time.

This era of music is the best.

Nothing can ever compare to this original! Gorgeous ladies and they are all a true legend!!!

I wonder how many hours of my youth I spent singing along to Supremes albums in my room? A lot!

From rock verison to motown to 80s dance remake this song is timeless

One of my Motown favorite songs and there are so many great ones. Love the Funk Brothers who lay down an incredible sound that will sound great forever.

This song is timeless. True classic.

My great respect for Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson and my great admiration for the last diva Diana Ross. (from Italy). Beautiful the picture at 2:37.

Timeless and still quite the tear jerker! We have all been there 😢but "keep hanging on" ❤❤

#The guitar start 🎸 to this #TheSupremes song is the best i heard in a long time. It is so bad ass. That guy could really play. Listen. Its stands out above any other. And, Mrs. Diana, Mary and Florence are all sounding fabulous as usual 😀👍🎹🪘🥁🎺🎷🎸🎸🎸💖💙💜❤️
