The original here had a better rhythm to it.

Something I just learned today. The Four Tops singles almost always charted higher in Canada than in the U.S.! Interesting.
That's VERY interesting and pretty cool! Funny how some performers rate higher across the board in some countries than here in the U.S.Quote:

"Yeah? That's great! Let me know when it's done.
"Oh, by the way. Those backing vocals are absolutely tremendous. So sophisticated and multi-layered. But they're just too much for today's kids. Can you push them back in the mix a bit, please?"
