:DCommon I know it's a strech. But just listen to the chorus. I can hear the Temps backing David up. Come on now I went with you on Johhny Mattis as Otis replacement.LOL!LOL!

Hi Common: Quick Q: If the Temps were to have done that song, would the intro be different? I can't imagine the flute at the beginning in that case.

Hey Andy: Maybe. Of course, they would have to change to backup the arrangement a bit. It would interesting to hear the intro part without the flute. I take it you don't particularly care for the intro part?

Hi Common: To the contrary, I liked the intro. I just don't think it would have been fit for a group song; one single flute, one great singer. I think the flute complimented David well.

My mistake on the above. I think the flute contrasted well with David's voice. Best Regards AJA

Hey Andy: I gotcha! Now that you mentioned it, I don't think I could see the song having that type of intro if it was done by The Tempts. By that time, they were doing psychedelic(sp?) & funk music. It definitely wouldn't have fit into the Tempts hippie image.

Hey Molly! LOL! See, sometimes I can be easily persuaded or is it persuasive?! The song may not have worked since The Tempts were into a whole nother musical bag. So I do owe you for Johnny! ;D You know, I was thinking that the song was about your buddy. That occurred to me whenever I listened to the song. From what I read(I know here I go with the Motown books again! ;D ), that because the writers/producers were familiar with David's vocal style, they tried to write in way that would fit him. But I don't think they had to do all of that. David seem have the gift of taking a song & making it his.

Hello Ladies: The only way the Temps could have done that song was if DR sang it. I can't hear Eddie or Paul doing it, but Dennis is a possibility.But he would be too rough , not nearly as smooth as DR. Melvin is out, too. That leaves... am I forgetting someone?

Hey Andy: The producers tended to give David the "heavy" songs & while Eddie got the more "lighthearted" songs. So I agree that Eddie wouldn't of worked for this song. Paul was more blusey. He might've pulled it off but the key would have to dropped. Melvin, forget it. And.....hmmmmm, I seem to get amnesia myself, Andy. Who could you be talking about? ;D ;D
