That's the stereo mix that sometimes appears on soul compilations in the UK.

The mono single mix has a different first verse.

Try this.

It shares some melody and chord changes with “Mind, Body And Soul”. That track has some seriously bad French in it. 😊

One of my favourite Hot Wax recordings.

Here's the version with the long instrumental break.

I always like that song and some others by The Flaming Ember.

I like them too. I bought a comp on them not too long ago and was surprised how many of the tunes I remembered.

Are they the same group "Flaming Embers" who sang 'Hey Mama - What You Got Good for Daddy" which was on Ric-Tic which i believe is also a Detroit label?

This sounds like a question that Ralph could answer. :)

Definitely the same group with Jerry Plunk on lead vocals.

Now this was my favorite song by Flaming Ember. I think I was like in the 5th Grade or something LOL!
