I'd like to make a suggestion, when videos are posted up, please type above the video, name of band, name of song, that way, if the link becomes broken, the staff can re-attach the video. Without the description above, once the link is gone, it's just another irrelevant hole where something cool used to be.

I've been asking people do this since I first joined this site 8 years ago. The vast majority of the crowd back then just as now are too damn lazy to do so. It's not a problem to type in the name of the artist and/or song title in a search engine or on youtube, but for F's sake, it's WAAAAY too much trouble to do the same here on the site.

A few of us that used to be mods (that are no longer mods) would go around and clean up threads with old, busted, non-working video links and replace them with good ones. It's damn tough to do when you have no clue who or what the artist or song is.

A little back story to this:

Buffalo Springfield released their first album in December, 1966. Just before that album's release, the group went back into the studios and cut a new song as a single. That song, "For What It's Worth", became a national hit as well as an anti-war anthem. Subsequent pressings of the first album would now include that song as well as making it the lead track

But the original lead track was this

Buffalo Springfield-Go And Say Goodbye

The Supremes were the most successful girl group of all time with 12 #1 singles and god-knows how many Top 40 songs. Most of the success was with Diana Ross as lead vocal to the trio. But the first album/first song is an anomaly

1962's Meet The Supremes was a commercial failure. No top 40 singles.The album itself peaked at # 142. And for the only time in their recording history, the group was a quartet. Barbara Martin announced she would leave the group just as the recording sessions were finished due to her pregnancy. The visibility of her condition, as well as her decision, caused her to be left off the cover photo for the debut album

Here's the opening song. The Supreme's -You're Heart Belongs To Me, written by Smokey Robinson
