    The Bigger You Love

    i've recently heard a version of 'The Bigger You Love [[The Harder You Fall) by Paloma Faith and always thought this was a Motown song as there are versions by Bobby Taylor, Supremes & Four Tops and Jermaine Jackson. However, I have recently found a version of the song on Youtube by Sister Love released in 1970 on A&M records.
    Who recorded the first version of the song and how did it find its way into the Motown songbook.

    I really like Paloma Faith's version of the song but I have wondered how she came to like and record it? Not really a well known Motown song I'd say?

    Never knew Sisters Love recorded it though, interesting it was before Motown.
