1962 HITS ARCHIVE: The One Who Really Loves You - Mary Wells 

I’m 25 and it’s 2021 yet I am in love with this song!! And so much of Motown

I really love Mary Wells

One of my mother's favorite songs

R.I.P. Ms Mary.

I loved Mary Wells!

Yes walking and swaying along Vernor Hwy. , Detroit 1962. Sweet memories.

This was the first of Mary Wells's four Top Ten pop/R&B 1962-64 crossover hits written and produced by Smokey Robinson. He backed her with a Caribbean-esque rhythm that brought out a new soft and sultry sound for 18-year-old Mary Wells. And only Smokey could have come up with a line like, "Oh, oh, oh, silly Lily, you know she doesn't really (want you with a love that's true...)."

one of her best! 😁😁😁

Ole Bill Smokey Robinson hooked up dem Motown artist REAL GOOD! You know? PWG

I bought this record when it hit the top 40 in 1962.

Izzy loves cool R & B music 🎸 🎶 💘 Enjoy 1964.

Another classic record

I saw her sing this at Freedomland in The Bronx, many years ago. It was a show emceed by B Mitchell Reed.

Smokey Bill Robinson's 360-degree Motown venture: writing and producing - I think that the vocal group was later identified as The Love Tones
