We in Chicago loved the blues tinged sound of the song but Berry G tended to salt it away to the SOUL lable along with Altry DeWalt (Jr. Walker) and other of that soul-blues inlk. Motown created NO dance records at the time. Meaning no original dances except "Shotgun and "Boomerang".
I never knew that THIS was the original version. The up-tempo covers of this just don't really cut it...

isn't it a shame that somebody stole this song too and it's WAY better than the stolen remade version.
