This real Northern Soul Stomper was recorded in October 1966, but did not officially see the light of day until it was included in Volume 1 of Cellarful Of Motown in 2002.
Tapes of the Barnes, Richard Morris and Sylvia Moy composition had been circulating for a few years under the tile "Show Me The Way" with different lyrics and Martha Reeves and The Vandellas also cut "Show Me The Way" on their album "Ridin' High"

Step aside Marvin

@stevelane1956 My only question is - what the hell took 'em so long?
-
@drwhatson Same backing, and thanx to Motown for shelving this fantastic track or it would have been played out long ago. Its good we have many many unissued music to hear 40 odd years after it was born.
-
Will somebody please bootleg this ASAP. I need this on black vinyl.
-
I heard one song "Baby Please Come Back Hom" he sounds just like Marvin Gaye.
-
...and I've just noticed - isn't this the same backing track as Martha Reeves & The Vandellas "Show Me The Way"?? The melody is very similar too. Maybe that's why it wasn't released originally.
-
You can see why Motown sidelined J.J. though. He does sound almost EXACTLY like Marvin Gaye on this one!

It's one of the best and a disgrace it was not released at the time.
