Anyone else think this 1972 single by The Emotions while on Stax sounds bit like Diana Ross' version of Ain't No Mountain High Enough?

LOVE I Could Never Be Happy by The Emotions.
OK. ok. In the era when George Harrison had to sweat the farm over a lawsuit by the songwriters/producers of The Chiffons' "My Sweet Lord" [[and btw, I never heard any kind of similarity in the two- only maybe a hint of a whiff of similarity) how in God's Green Earth did Motown NOT sue over this? I can hear it from 1 million miles away. This doesn't just sound a bit like ANMHE- this IS ANMHE, just written sideways. It's too bad it was two years later because it would have made for a pretty good follow up for Ms. Ross.
It sounds even more like Diana's Ain't No Mountain High Enough when they performed it live:
