This was probably my favourite track from his 'Feelin' Good' album.

I used to have the U.K STML 11139 edition. It's along time since I heard the vinyl version but I'm sure the song used to end with a solid note - as opposed to fade out. However, listening to the Hip-O 'Motown solo albums' version it fades out - as do the 2 versions on the COMS singles box set, which is surprising given the fact the alternate version is about a minute longer.

Did I imagine it or can someone verify that the U.K lp edition has a definite finish to the song. And if it does - how has this escaped all 3 cd editions so far?

It's a shame because the definite ending to the song was so much better. Or perhaps I just dreamed it all along!
