THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
365-Diana Ross-I’m Still Waiting.
1971-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 0.45.I suppose the moral of the song is,if you are a five year old girl don’t fall for a ten year old boy who jilts you because it will mess the rest of your life up.
I’m Still Waiting was never going to be released as a single until BBC Radio 1 disc jockey Tony Blackburn told Motown records that if they released it as a single he would make it his record of the week and play it on his show every morning for five days.The song went on to spend four weeks at Number 1 and become Motown’s best selling UK single until The Commodore’s Three Times A Lady in 1978.
The song was written and produced by Deke Richards who in the 1960’s was one of the songwriters for Diana Ross and The Supremes(see also best songs 900-519 and 411,) co-writing their Billboard Number 1 ‘Love Child.’
‘I remember when I was five and you were ten boy,you knew that I was shy so you teased and made me cry.’
