One of the last hits for the great Jackie Wilson, with help from the moonlighting Funk Brothers and the Andantes, respectively the house band and female backing vocal group at Motown. He would have one more Top 40 record plus another Top 10 R&B tune, then collapsed on stage from a heart attack during a 1975 Dick Clark oldies tour and slipped into a coma. The crowd first thought it was part of the act, then sat in stunned silence. He recovered slightly then regressed; Jackie never regained consciousness and died in 1984. Truly a legendary music figure. Video is very well synched to a dance routine featuring Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth.
