One of the all time great soul songs every written and performed by anyone. At any time. It encapsulates an unselfish love. In an open, honest, and sincere spirit of goodwill. He hopes his woman might someday realize and understand that he was trying his best to be a good man to her. And that it was his way of loving her. Deeply.
I remember hearing this song in 1969 playing on the piped in speakers at a restaurant in Halifax with my grandmother. There was another young boy staring at me at the next table. He was eating a chocolate sundae. This song takes me back there and I am 51.
Yes... I am a somewhat "soul music historian," and this is definitely one of the finest SOUL songs ever... One-hit-wonder that it was. I had been looking for this for years... decades. I turned 13 the year this song was released. I thought for sure it was a group along the lines of those that evolved from the 1960s to the 1970s such as Olympics, the Mad Lads, the Manhattans, the Dells, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Intruders, the Originals, and all of them.... Surprise! ~ò,,ó~
this band knocked me out when i was playing in baby garage bands in 1969. later, i played in countless bands just like motherlode. back in the supper club and show band days. shag haircuts and finding ways to rev up the leslie. those were the days.
WOWWW!!!! A great live performance. I haven't heard this song in years. What a time machine. Come on South Florida radio. Play more of these type of songs on the oldies station. They really lack the dynamics of playing a wide selection of oldies in this market.
Some of Toronto's very best! I am bias, I have known Steve and Dom since In first saw them at the Bluenote at 16, I think they were and are our very best. Miss Beautiful Dianne.Brooks.
I stumbled upon this song while looking for something else on iTunes, and it brought back some excellent memories of some good times long ago. I now have added this beautiful song to my iTunes library. It's good to see this group still playing and sounding just as good as they did over 45 years ago.
I soad no idea they were Canadian! Wow...they sound like they did when I first heard this song in '69...I was 11! I still listen to it today. way to go guys!!
Love this song! These guys still sound great!!!!!

Certainly a classic that doesn’t receive the airplay it deserves on oldie format stations
Another great Canadian band!!! And I'm from the US.

Timeless classic, one of the best songs
One of the best songs ever done in the 60's! They still sound great! Thanks for the post!
Takes me back to the summer of '69. What a great song and fantastic Canadian group.
