"Come and Get These Memories" is an R&B song by Motown girl group Martha and the Vandellas. Their second single released under Motown's Gordy Records subsidiary, "Memories" became the group's first hit single, reaching number 29 on the ''Billboard'' Pop Singles Chart, and number-six on the Billboard R&B Singles Chart. The song speaks of heartbreak, as the narrator (lead singer Martha Reeves) goes through her things and gives back everything her now ex-boyfriend had given her, including teddy bears, records, and "lingering love". "Memories" is also notable as the first hit recording written and produced by the songwriting/production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland,〔 who would become the top creative team at Motown by the end of 1965. The single was the first of several hits the Vandellas scored with the team, before Holland-Dozier-Holland began to focus more heavily on hits for The Supremes and the Four Tops. However, Holland–Dozier–Holland would continue to collaborate with the Vandellas until the songwriting team's departure from Motown in 1967. ==Personnel== *Produced by Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier *Written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Edward Holland, Jr. *Lead vocals by Martha Reeves *Background vocals by Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard *Instrumentation by The Funk Brothers: * *Benny Benjamin: drums * *James Jamerson: Double bass * *Joe Hunter: piano * *Earl Van Dyke: electric piano * *Robert White: guitar * *Eddie Willis: guitar 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Come and Get These Memories」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
