Actually she didnt die poor, she had just received a 1-2 million settlement and had just moved into a new house. Some say Berry Gordy broke down and gave her the money that she deserved... it was never really revealed where the money came from, but she didnt die a pauper.
Adore this . Bought it the week it came out and fully expected it to be a UK No 1. Sadly did not even chart could not believe it . Wonderful Martha at her best!
I remember this song from the summer of 1967. Awsome year 18 years old and getting ready to go to Vietnam, I survived the Vietnam war thanks the lord and I did it for our greatest country USA
