The strings arrangement is fantastic!

100% with you there.

If you love string arrangements from Motown like me, please check out the strings on It Takes Two from Marvin and Kim.

THE GREATEST!!!!!!! An amazing backing track to an iconic Motown song.........the greatest Motown single of all-time, in my opinion. The Funk Brothers were stratospheric!!!!!!!!!!! Laying down that pounding, stomping, uplifting beat! Oh YES! THE BEST! Bierney45 X

Didn't expect to like this but - it's really cool to hear that side of the track for once, superb arrangement and performance all round.

Having listened for the first time to this particular version (i.e.not the Earl/piano instrumental track) on headphones tonight .....several times, I am quite amazed at the drum beat at around 0.14 and beyond sort of 3 strikes and then 1 tambourine & repeat.

what's that called then ?

I know it's been said (& part of me believes it too) that with the backing of The Funk Brothers, the artists doing the singing were pretty much a shoe-in if you will. But when I hear this incredible instrumental version of a song I remember instantly falling in love with,I can't help thinking how the magnificent Levi Stubbs with his soothing/soft raspy soulful voice was always a perfect match for this lovely,lovely melody of chord progressions. You will never be forgotten & will always be TOPS!
