Some of the greatest groove ever made, and I'm a 58 year old white dude who grew up with this along with all the other greatest music created in history. There will never be another time in music like there was from the mid to late 60's up to around 1988 or so!! Not possible to happen again in history!! Every music genre back then was pure fire!!!

This song always cheers me up. Ray's smile melts me. The other singers bring their game. 50s w/arthritis and all kinds a physical problems, Do Not try to stop me from dancing to this song.. lol Lifts me up immediately. Have to play it at least 5 times. One of my favorite bands❤️❤️

Do yourself a favor and find an online looping site, then just plug in this youtube link, and you can listen to this for HOURS with it automatically repeats.... I DO, it's just one of the most beautiful of so many beautiful songs that I grew up with during the 70's... ❤

Maybe not an all time great, yet that music from the 70's and 80's is timeless. Motown deserves their own station and ALL of those bands from the 70's. EW &F, Kool & the Gang, Tavares, O'Jays, Spinners, Stylistics, Love, Unlimited Orchestra and so on, I'll take that all day over this garbage of today.
