something about her voice what a song.great .

First of all, let me wish a gifted and stellar performer a happy birthday. I recently became curious about this lady a few days ago after hearing her on XM radio. I googled her name and came up with videos and info which has mesmerized me for 3 days. Her voice and range is second to no female singer. I was stationed with the USAF in upstate Michigan during the early 60s, when Motown was getting started. I just wish I could have met her and saw in person what an inspiring artist she still is toda

Happy Birthday, Ms Kim Weston. 72 years young today and one of my favorite singers of any genre.

For me, the best ever Motown recording, it encapsulates Motown, love it xx

What is she, about a size 2? All that voice coming from such a little woman. Great Talent!

Actually very good film quality. There seems to be more appreciation of this music now than even just a few years ago, even amongst teens and 20-somethings, which is very encouraging. If more youth could become involved in the formal study of music, we may have a chance to see a return to something that resembles Motown, old-school Soul and R&B. Peace & blessings to all the friends and fans of Kim Weston! ~Kim Weston Fan Page

Another gret motown talent that didn't get her just due! Kim could blow!

Absolutely brilliant , I defy ANYONE not to bop around the floor with this on full blast.

@jazypee Berry was not trying to market "Soul" He wanted to create music that would sell to a White crowd because in the 1960s that was where the money was. Whites in those days did not listen to soul and radio stations would not play it either. Songs made by black artists did not have their faces on the jacket cover for fear that whites would not buy the record. It was sad that Berry Gordy did not push her more but he had his own ideas. The Supremes were a great cross over group.

I love all versions but, this one takes the prize. No doubt.

In 1975 in the same year the Doobie's did it, Charity Brown recorded the song, and in my opinion it is the best version of the song ever !

Kim is a DJ in Detroit today!
She is phenomonon today as she was then!
Those tamborines and 88s in the background make this version real different from Eddie Holland's version.
The Isley Bros and Doobie Bros tried to redo this in the future, but I think version by -Kim Weston-is the BEST ONE.
Weston, the Best One-- hey it rhymes!
Awesome tune. I rate it 5++.
