My Dad (RIP) loved this duo. I just found out a few years ago from my sister's boyfriend that The Impressions originally did this song.

So many Impressions tunes were covered by reggae artists back in the day. Pat Kelly does a good cut of this, tho my fav is The Blues Busters, your father had great taste kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZjXgH2QfZqEmNk

Just found your doctor bird play list. You’ve got some tunes man! I was talking to Chris Peckings about them the other day.

[@aeon23]

IMHO this is on par with the original, Sadly The Blues Busters don't get the attention they deserve, what a group. Theres a heap more to add but haven't got round to it yet, Thanx for the support

[@iansimmons4080]

You’ve got more, can’t wait! It’s such a great cover, one of them sounds so like Jerry Butler, I keep finding myself thinking it’s him. Thank for all the great tunes.
