I always liked this song; I even had the single when it came out.  If there were a hit song from this year that I hated it would be "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" or something like that.

This scares me greatly because there are plenty of 'popular' songs now and I really, really, don't want to say in 2053: "Oh, yeah, I used to hate Baby, but now I find myself pleasantly humming to it". {#Shifty}

Saw my 14 year old daughter dance with a boy at a wedding to this song.

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

Motown, the Kleenex of soul music. it was the brand name but hardly the only soul music out there.

The Spinners were on Motown earlier in their career but this song was after they made the move to Atlantic. It's pure Philly Soul.
The Delfonics were one of the pioneers of the Philly Soul.

Sitting here on a cold November night, but this song makes it a warm, summer day.  Love the Spinners, and this song holds a special place in my heart.  Thanks to whoever uploaded it, and of course, to Bill and Rebecca for playing it.  Happy now....... {#Bounce}

The majority of songs played here could be considered "commercial", and there are several Temptations tunes on the playlist as well.  Great song.

The Spinners actually recorded on the Motown label and then went to Atlantic.  I cannot imagine why anyone would split hairs over that but, whatever...

I haven't heard this song since I was a kid and I never appreciated it then, but even so I find I know most of the words. Now that I can appreciate all of the subtleties, it really is a great song.
