Grooved to this in 1970/71 as a marine stationed in Quantico, Va., with my best friend Morris Williams from Tampa Fla. He's passed now, but everytime I hear this those times come flooding back. God those were good times and great music.Thanks Mosogotam

What the hell happened to all our beautiful music of the 60"70"80". it definitely a SHAME!

This generation today don't know real music. Ain't nothing like some good old school.

BROTHER, WE SOUL PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS LISTEN TO CLASS MUSIC.......

Gold. Born in 1962, grateful for the music of our youth. The music doesn’t age (like we do!), and the memories flood back. Where U were, who U were with, the power of hope, of the future. Life does administer lessons, set backs, challenges to all of us. Hang in there. Bless you all.

somebody please bring back music like this again Wil we ever hear music and artists like this again this is what real music sounds like.

Probably one of the 3 greatest Motown songs of all time-no question! Thanks Stevie. Another gem! Thanks GC for amazing vocals and thanks Spinners for amazing backing vocals. And those horns, that bass and sitar. Incredible! Hard to believe this is 53 years old. Can’t see any of todays rubbishy efforts being played in 53 years time-can you?

The greatest version of this song ever.

Every song is a memory which I call memories treasures that no one take from all of us.

This is the one for me! Hell to the naw. Cracked up at the opening and smiled and grooved in my chair for the duration of the songs. So glad that one of my all time favorite songs got the extended treatment. That guitar riff in this song makes it impossible not to move when you listen to it! Dude singing all the leads lol, had crazy range and vocal chops. Props to Stevie Wonder for writing this for The Spinners. Damn, wish I could buy this!!

I was 11 in 1970, this was one of the greatest songs that year. Pretty sure that is Dennis Coffey and Robert white on guitars. The electric sitar being the lead instrument. And of course, the incredible mr Jameson on bass. The mix is super and the vocals knock it out of the park.

I Agree!!!!

I'm still pretty pissed The Mighty, Mighty Spinners are not in the R&R Hall of Fame yet. This stone-cold jam might become my new "Walk-In" music. I was literally stunned by the Jaw-Dropping bass playing by none other than the legend, the one and only Mr. James Jamerson. His bass playing just jumps off the record and is so funky, you need to open a window and let some fresh air in. His thick, fat bass tone and virtuoso playing simply dares you to not get up and move your hips. Hear him play one time and you will immediately recognize his sound on other great Motown hits. How he did all this with one finger continues to boggle my mind to this day. RIP James Jamerson. (The GOAT🐐)

This song was made to be extended 🙌🏾

The first time i heard this song was in 1975, i was only 12 years old. I still listen to it all the time. In my opinion, this is the greatest song the Spinners ever did. I love this extended version ~ :)

This beautiful song is a masterpiece, and I love this extended version. The Spinner's definitely bring joy to your heart. To watch them perform, a real treat. The choreography is always precise. They are great talents, and old school icons, hopefully, the 2020 generations will show them love and support.

At my age things have started to hurt but when I hear this song the old days of club dancing come back in my mind and I am up and dancing again!!!👍

where to start? the harmony, background music, World class musicians, just simply one of the best groups and songs.

Still boppin' my head to this jam all these years!

Great voices, lyrics but also a great backing band.

Great song!!!I remember have heard it first time back in 1970...really a great song and great mix!!!

Love it. Takes me back to high school even more.

I luv the guitar beat at the beginning of this song. Its so simple and so smooth and catchy

Beautiful job! I've heard this song of course but never really listened until recently, when I became obsessed with hearing it over and over. My partner asked why I played it so much back to back and I said it was because I was following a different element each time - this song is the sum of so many glorious parts!
