While it is mostly based on the James Taylor cover, there is some Andantes mixed in to pay respect.

This came out around the time I was born, or at least a year after.


Listen with an open mind, and hey, it's a lot better than Kidz Bop, given the founding group member was the daughter of Carole King:

Give me your thoughts after listening. Good? Bad? Would this be a good introduction to the old Tamla 45 of the song or a CD of Motown hits so the kid would like Motown?

Don't need this kiddie stuff covers to get kids hooked on Motown. Just play the originals.

I don’t like the James Taylor boring version. This is at best, a one time listen. Doubtful it will have any positive significantly impact on the Motown legacy.
