The Originals were not a Marvin Gaye formed group. They had experienced a couple of incarnations before Marvin Gaye had even come to Detroit. To be fair, he did produce some songs on the Originals, among them their biggest hit "Baby, I'm For Real' and "The Bells".That being said: I LOVE M OTOWN!
@aidenconnol I think that this was found on an acetate after Wigan, could be wrong though, but can't remember it being played there...but yet again i can't remember too much from those days, stuck in a world somewhere in space....wow!!!!
A demo acetate discovered in the early 80s. Was booted and slightly sped-up to appeal to the 'Northern Soul' scene of that era. Widely available in those days and much played.
This song would of been a massive hit had it been released at the time, only heard this about 6 months ago for the first time and it gets in your head alright , brilliant song.
That's an alterate take (not the best vocal nor the best mix). The best one was the one that was booted on a blank label along with other unreleased Motown cuts, in UK in the early '80s.
Almost didn't click on this one, lucky I did, this is beyond awesome.PURE BEAT, OMG where do all these people find all this wonderful music and I didn't know about it. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
There's about 4 different groups with this name, but didn't find this song on any of their discography. Must be deep northern hard to find.
Never officially released in the 1960's. Discovered on tapes from the Motown studios and brought to the UK by Dave Withers and Rod Shard in the early 1980's. Dave played it exclusively in his short DJ career at Stafford's Top of the World. The pair then produced a handful of acetates from the and sold to a few DJs and collectors.
@bucksheespins i was lucky enough to find this on a northern soul tape, an old one time acquaintance gave to me. i am so happy that he did. how did i ever live without it.
