I was 13 when this was released. I babysat for a couple down the street. They had a fantastic collection of Motown, R&B, Blues, LP’s. Loved going there because I was allowed to play any I wanted. Fell in love with this song IMMEDIATELY! My first introduction into soul music. 50+ years later I still get that rush of excitement the minute those opening notes start. ❤❤❤ Once a soulie always a soulie.
