I don't care who sang it first, that's his/her song!

Completely agree david. Not sure why Barbara's version is liked more than The Tops' original. I hate how the tempo is slower and less frantically upbeat! I fell in love with The Tops' version the first time I heard it and thought Barbara's was good but nowhere near as amazing as the original. And, yea, it is one of my favourite Four Tops and Motown songs!! Classic, pure Motown GOLD!

Hmmmm ... have to disagree ... personally I prefer the Barbara Randolph version, and seeing as she recorded it over a year after the version by The Four Tops I don't think it fits into this thread, which is about versions that are better than "the original".

Sorry for being a bit "picky" folks [[and I do like The Tops' version) but for any doubters about which came first please refer to the "Don't Forget The Motor City" website ....
