@17soulable Magic indeed from Detroits first Lady, many thanks for the comment, much appreciated

[pittster001]

one of the best records ever, unfortunatly so rare and expensive, what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hhrmurray]

Is this the same Johnny Mae Matthews who managed" Otis Williams and The Distants"; Who later became "The Temptations"?

[esmereldatitswallop]

@hhrmurray The very same! :O)

[betobig]

Lord have mercy this is a Beautiful song Thanks

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

As perfect a piece of Detroit soul as you could ever hope to hear and they couldn't even spell her name right.

An absolute knockout of a record and superb in every way.

[SoulsurferUK08]
