Marvin is backed by Gladys Knight & The Pips. Recorded just after GRAPEVINE

Marvin's version does it for me...it's too cool!!!
I enjoy Marvin's version, but am also very fond of Rare Earth's.
I love Marvin's version, and just listened to Rare Earth's cover for the first time, and it’s great!!
I will check out Three Dog Night.

I never really appreciated the song until I heard Syreeta's version.
Syreeta makes anything sound good but my nod goes to Marvin. I never understood why this song didn't put him back into the top ten.
I think that is the Originals backing Marvin on this and on Chained.
Marvin of course by a country mile! Here's another version by Judy Tzuke. It was actually a single that peaked at #92 in the UK in 1984!
