I Promise to Wait My Love
- I Promise to Wait My Love
"I Promise to Wait My Love" is a 1968 single recorded by girl group Martha and the Vandellas, released on the Gordy label. The third release from the group's "Ridin' High", it was another single given to them by producer Richard Morris with co-written credit to Sylvia Moy. Produced under a Memphis soul sound similar to soul singer Aretha Franklin, the song has the narrator (lead singer Martha Reeves) promising to wait for her love as he fights in Vietnam though the song doesn't blatantly reference the war disguising it as the war being another woman saying that she'll love him "even though (he does her) wrong". This song was the group's first single to miss the top 40 on the pop singles chart peaking at number sixty-two while it netted a top forty entry on the R&B singles chart peaking at number thirty-six on the chart.
