Love that song including this song and grooving along as I’m writing this! 🙂
Good song, I liked this group.
Really loved this one back then, though now, 50 years later (can it really be fifty years?!?) I think it’s just OK.
My favorite version is The Temptations.
I like this one. i have the album ‘Rare Earth Live’.
