I also prefer the released album version of "Pledging My Love" to the alternate version above which leaves out my favorite part of the song. Side 2 has two tracks that I love -- "Just Say, Just Say," which is an Ashford & Simpson jewel which should have been released as a single instead of "Don't Knock My Love". And I love "My Mistake". Two songs that I could never stand, however, and still can't to this day, are "I'm Falling In Love With You" and "Include Me In Your Life" All of those incessant Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', / Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', Darlin', Darlin's cheapened it and ruined it for me. Overall, though, I love the "Diana & Marvin" LP release.
