    This live version is great, and the studio version is even better. This is probably the most perfect song ever recorded.

    Wow! What a super soul song. Thanks to ABC radio in Australia’s Rod Quinn and David Kilby for bringing this song to my attention in celebrating the passing of the great Jerry Fuller. It’s now at the top of my play list.
