I once had an original copy on US Dore label which i sold for 1,300 notes when became ill and had to give up DJ'in. Always a top drawer floor filler, Classic Northern soul sound that i first heard at Wigan in the 70's.
It rips your heart out, shows it to you, and then slices it into a thousands pieces before your very eyes; and then you return for more. Such is the power of this song! That's all I can say! Black Toddy COOP
I remember the first time I ever heard this one. I stood there frozen, then a chill came down my back, I let go a shriek, lept into the air about twenty feet, and spun around like a top, and landed on the dance floor in a perfect split, got up, dusted meself off, and said to the dolly bird with the amazed look on her face, now what's all the fuss about then?
Great Song. A Classic. Best of all I know Rita. Sweet, sweet lady. Still knocking 'em dead at the local jazz club here in Atlanta GA USA. She's a very hard worker. Still sing wherever and whenever she can. It's nice to see she still gets the love and respect she deserves. Even after all these years in the business. WE LOVE YOU RITA. Your music just keeps getting better.

A Northern masterpiece. Dark and delicious. Heartbreakingly sad yet magnificently uplifting, all at once. A beautiful rush with no unwanted side effects.
@laionpessoa I say the full version because most often this song appears on CD compilations as an edit which runs at approx' 1.59. the version here has an extra verse or two from memory. One of my all time favourites.
Love it!

Why oh Why did they ever shorten this classic?
Does anyone know why?
surfinsouly 2 years ago
@surfinsouly God knows, mate.
Does anybody know if they ever lengthened it ?
About 2hrs:25mins:54secs would do for me.
Truly one major haunting tune.
