    Another awesome song. The production level again, world class. I start to watch the HSCC releases but can only listen to 30 secs as is so obvious the drop in production levels. It obvious the love and respect between mother and daughter. Every week is a WINNER @Sing It Live

      @@stevehawkins8940 All entitled to our opinions :), I loved HSCC, but it just isn't as polished as it was.

    As a man in my 60's this was on regular rotation on our turntable at home growing up. The Supremes were my mom's favorite female group. This is one of the best renditions of this song I have ever heard! Excellent playing by all the musicians and Nikki's voice is just amazing. The Bassgoose is always just laying down the groove and this one was no different! Love it, fantastic job to all!
