WRITTEN by MIRACLES MEMBERS SMOKEY ROBINSON and BOBBY ROGERS. THE CONTOURS VERSION is THE ORIGINAL.(1965) The J Geils , Rod Stewart, and David Bromberg versions are covers. This is a MOTOWN song.

This song reached #12 on Billboard's R&B chart, making it a bona fide top 20 hit.

Ride on man ride, LOL!!!

[tishdad]

this song is timeless as a single man I'm still looking at the purse.

[srercrcr]

That's a bit of a stretch calling it a HIT.

These guy were some underrated singers. They kicked butts with their raw sound and fierce dance moves. Berry Gordy should've done more with this group. This tune and 'Can You Do It' will make you groove for sure.

@reddvelvet Same thing with Jr. Walker and the all Stars. Good groups, but don't seem to have got the recongition they deserved.

rite on!

Tip top.
