"You Can't Hurry Love" The Supremes

 The song starts out very quietly with the tambourine playing in the background. Slowly they add more drums, and there is a very sudden note from the brass and they start singing. The recording I have has a slight echo like they are singing in a large room made out of a material that sound bounces off of. Most materials could be concrete, tile, or linoleum. I think wood tends to absorb sound. Anyways, We can hear a subtle piano and electric guitar. Unlike some newer songs, these instruments are not the main, but the secondary and is only used to add sound to back up the singers. Aside from the main singer, there are more backup singers echoing and adding one-worded accents. It reminds me of the old-timey productions where they stick the all the back-up singers in the back with one microphone to share, and the main is in the very front with their own mic, and they sing like that. Usually the back-ups put a little swing or dance into it to make it more entertaining or appealing.
