At least the spoken intro was retained on "I've Passed This Way Before".

That's because it worked there. The key to to a hit record is knowing what elements to add and what not to add. One has to have an ear for knowing what sounds like a hit. If you can hear it on the radio, it could be a hit.

Meth you touched my heart today! My neighbor was in 'Nam and sent me money to send them some records. At that time, WBOTBH was the #1 song and I sent that along many other records. I got so many letters out of that in fact, one guy had a portrait of me made in oil taken from one of the those 4 for a quarter pictures that I still have to this day! My neighbor eventually became a preacher and he told me in later years how those records really picked up their morale as they were only hearing a bunch of hillbilly music. So whenever I hear that song, I tear up.

Nosey - That's a wonderful story. Music is such a great marker of time and place and exactly what was going on in our lives where and when. That Jimmy Ruffin recording probably means so much to so many. And you've certainly got a terrific remembrance attached to it.
