It got plenty of airplay in Washington DC......I remember WOL so well. I also have the same record but on the yellow label. The Funk Brothers got fined for doing this "moonglight" gig.
Yeah, I much prefer the instrumental. To me, the vocal interferes with the mighty CRUNNNNCHHH of the rhythm section. Although I'm sure there are people that would disagree with me, at the end of the day, it's a matter of taste.
Is that Marvin Gaye on drums? He was an excellent Motown drummer.

I had fun singing along & pretending I'm a white Edwin Starr! Thanks!
I used to listen to the Starr version at night on KOMA, 'til they ruined it by adding some "fun" lyrics to it. Dumb DJs.
But sadly, they were the only station I could receive that played it at all.

@ioxxd90 Yes, and Ric Tic's owner Eddie Wingate crashed the Motown Christmas party that year and paid them back double that fine....

This is The Funk Brothers' instumental track before Edwin Starr recorded the vocals . This was a bad ass song and deserved more airplay than it did !

@xwsftassell I agree with you, it is a matter of taste, I like both sides myself....A great showcase for the Funk Brothers either way!!
