A Holland-Dozier-Holland Motown song written for Junior Walker and the Allstars, which was a rarity. According to Wikipedia, in rehearsal Junior could only play his part in two keys, so the band recorded in one key for him to sing, then the tape was sped up when he played the sax track. There's a line that appears in the Temptations' "Cloud Nine" a couple of years later - see if you can spot it.
