[stillwaters722]

[mariposamaria]

@stillwaters722 Amen to that Brother. And it looks like everybody lives in same neighborhood these days too. So you really better leave those Jones's alone. Only one makin money is the undertaker! LOL

> Masterpiece > Priceless <

[bodacious2109]

I am Mr. Jones... so you need to get a Master Degree and two gigs like me. Then, make sure Mrs. Jones doesn't have access to NONE of the money or charge cards. And please do not leave her in your house either after leaving for work. She has got to have a career to be attending to daily also.

[flashkaput]

Still to this day a favorite album. Props to my parents for having a great record collection to grow up to.

[emmettk]

Listen to the harmonies, especially at the end - and check out Melvin singing bass in this.

[wesmotown]

my theme song no every pimps theme song

[theShowStopper321]

When I first saw this title I thought it was about Jonesin from drugs

[FingerboardCorners]

This should be the theme song for the Dave Ramsey radio talk show!

[MrSuedehead72]

norman whitfield was a geniuos!!!!!!

[MrGrange1000]

@MrSuedehead72 I agree 100% you said it best!

[ekocentric]

@MrSuedehead72 Don't forget the FUNK BROTHERS!

[muppetshowman1972]

@ekocentric absolutly!!!!

[loupremo]

it that the same hi-hat note from "runnaway child running wild?"

[afrosensuous]

@loupremo...the hi-hat line was pretty universalback then. The Funk Brothers broke off. The theme from Shaft has the same thing.

[theboyfromxtown]

Can you believe this song missed out as a 45 in the UK

Shame on UK Motown.....

One of the best intro's ever

[afrosensuous]

@theboyfromxtown...if you listen to the basline in the beginning, then check out "Hustlers Ambition" by 50-Cent, you'll see what I'm talking about. They can't get shit pass me (lol).

[redbonegal]

RIGHT ON!!! one of my favorite songs from the Temtations!!

[josiefogg1]

[terrybrinston]
