Comments: Superb copy of this dynamite up-tempo Isley/Motown track on the B-side, a big hit in the UK, but overlooked in the USA. It has two features fairly uncommon for a Motown track, firstly a rather long slow intro that has little to do with what constitutes the body of the song, secondly a non ‘fade-out’ ending. The A-side is in my opinion a rather pedestrian effort, both as far as the Isleys and Motown goes, but has nevertheless caught on in the 60’s soul clubs over in UK of late. Another piece of trivia is it was never released as a 45 in UK.
Please also check my many other R&B and Soul 45’s listed this week.
