Why this song did not reach number one ( it hit 8 ) is beyond me. Better than heatwave. This song has it all. Great vocals of course , a groovy rhythm and just an all around fun type of song that makes you feel good. It was just what people needed in November of 1963. An incredible wealth of music and talent came from the 60s and 70s. It would take me two decades to list it all ! When there were real musicians and singers. You knew talent as soon as you heard a song. Today , a lot of people with a computer and a few hundred dollars think they have talent . I am considering ear plugs to go with my mask . Yikes !

Not much to listen to in the late 1980's (except for Janet Jackson and Soul II Soul). Still a nice and sweet song in 1999, 2009, 2014.......and in 2019, 2029 and beyond. Thanks

It is common for artists, whatever the music genre, to follow-up a huge hit with a similar sound to capitalize on the initial success. Usually, the follow-ups are forgettable, and occasionally they are embarrassing. But, Ms. Reeves and the Vandellas, Holland-Dozierd-Holland and the Motown studio musicians could never be forgettable or embarrassing. Yes, it is similar to "Heatwave," but it is also a terrific recording.
