Album Notes & Community Reviews

An absolute masterclass in the Motown pop formula, crafted by the legendary Holland-Dozier-Holland team. Propelled by a famously bounding bassline and Levi Stubbs' urgent, slightly desperate lead vocal, the track epitomizes the dramatic, highly danceable sound of Detroit soul.
