Martha Reeves - Higher and higher 1976

Aaaaaah, yeah

Your love, lifting me higher

Than I've ever been lifted before

So keep it up

Quench my desire

And I'll be at your side, forever more

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

You know (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

Now once I was down hearted

Disappointment was my closest friend

But then you came and it soon departed

Now you know he never

Showed his face again

That's why you know your love

(your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

You know (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

(Instrumental)

Higher

I'm so glad, I've finally found you

Yes, that one, in a million man

And now with my loving arms around you

Honey, I can stand up and face the world again

You know your love

(your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)

Higher (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

You know (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

You know (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

Yyour love keeps lifting me

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

Your love keeps lifting me

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

Your love keeps lifting me

Keep on (love keeps lifting me)

Lifting me (lifting me)

Higher and higher (higher)

She looks a lot like Helen Willis (Roxie Roker) from the Jeffersons, here.

If this video is any indication, her current placement (mix) and vibrato had apparently taken root as early as 76. By the time I saw her live in the nineties, both had taken on lives of their own.She looks great here.

yep, great performance on that SNL set (too much sternum for my taste...if she wore that same outfit, and gained 20lbs, and sang the same, she would be my dream-wife----no 2 ways about it). On the same box set, if ya got it, Desi A. doing Cuban Pete....(disc 5, I believe)....makes me cry a little inside when I (once in a while) see what they're up to on SNL nowadays! Cheers to you, bud!

Holy cow me too! I think the SNL version was a little better ( which was late 75 ) not to mention the dress she was wearing. YIKES!

Heard this before Joe Biden's speech and it reminded me of the first time I heard it on a 1975 episode of SNL, back when the show was good.

A time machine to hear her do the national anthem with the ridiculous vocal range required ala Whitney Houston. SEE her on Saturday Night Live from 1975 - show # 8. She looked very road weary, but just killed. This very song and Silver Bells. What got me is the pipes she had. Those high notes she is lip synching to here she wisely leaves out.

She Was As Statuesque As Diana And Dare I Say Even More (I Still Loves Me Some Diana Though! lol) And As Seen In This Video She Had Such Vocal Power That Its A Shame She Didn't Become As Big Or Bigger Than The Reigning Queen Of Motown Miss Ross Nontheless She Still A Legend And In My Book She Shares That Thrown And Crown With Miss Ross And To Me They Are Both The Queens Of Motown! Cheers 2 Good Freakin' Music! :)

I love the album this is from. Maybe some day it will get reissued on CD .... Anyway, I've never seen any clips of her performing songs from it, so this was a nice surprise. Thanks for posting it!
