This song is so smooth. I listened to this song repeatedly when I got the
“Gettin’ Ready” album on CD. Very strong track. I didn’t know the Monitors
made the song until I ran into it a couple of years ago. Love this track!
Wow, loved this the first time I heard it; some band track as the Monitors’
version, yet as you point out nearly a totally different vibe. I continue
to be in awe of the Temptations; what a gift from Motown to music history.
Another fine post; thanks for sharing!
Really like these edits!
You and me both. I could play this until I’m 99 years old and never get
tired of it!
I like that line…”what a gift from Motown to music history.” How very
true! I have the Monitors’ take on this too and that will be coming up. I
always found it so interesting the differences between the Monitors and
Temptations feeling for the song. The Temptations are all about the darker
edges while with the Monitors, you get the feeling Richard Street already
knows the woman is practically his already and he’s setting up to make the
final move, lol.
Thanks my Brother of Soul!
