Two powerful uptempo soul tracks show a group moving with the sound of the times... yet perhaps not fast enough, since this was their last single to hit the pop charts in the U.S. Be sure to check out the excellent ode to "Aretha" on the flip side, released just about the time Aretha Franklin was signed to Atlantic (was this a clue?). Both copies I've had of this record have EXish audio, and this is no exception, but it is a strong EX. (This scan is a representative image from our archives.) NOTE: The copy for sale has a drillhole.
