This single is one of the group's very best dance numbers, as well as one of the very best examples of uptempo Philly soul. No wonder it ranks in Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul! The A side is specially edited from a 6:24 album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Philadelphia Int'l Records factory sleeve. It has Mint labels and pristine sound.
