Wonderful rendition of a much-loved song from my younger days. A great songwriter has the longevity of any great writer of books. His hits peppered our collective soul from the 1960s to 70s. Thank you for this fine tribute to the talent of Barrett Strong.

God, what kind of musicians they are, it’s simply unbelievable! I love Marvin Gaye’s version, and I thought it can’t be matched, but these guys did it all, music never stops 🤘

There is a stunning live version by Marvin Gaye and Gladys Knight (and her Pips) which tears me to pieces every time.
