    Another hit written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970.

    This is off of Rare Earth's debut album, and every song is a well-oiled and well-harmonized mix of Detroit soul, Rythem, and Blues.
    Gil Bridges' saxophone solos are always the album's highlight, along with the soulful singing. They had a way of putting just a little
    extra flare to the cover songs they recorded. This debut album is by far their best effort. Great commentary and input
    on the vocals and musicianship, guys. No one can break down a song like Airplay Beats.

    Can anyone be better than the Temps doing their own song? No. But these guys made their own version--a bit of rock injected, retaining the soul and respect for the Temps' original. I loved this when I was a kid (which, BTW, you could hear on the same station back then sandwiched between Cream "Sunshine of Your Love" and Dylan "Like a Rolling Stone", for example--the golden age of FM radio!) and holds up now.

    I vaguely remember hearing about Rare Earth years ago but this is the first time actually hearing them unless I caught them on AM radio back then.
