This single has your typical Percy Sledge deep soul ballad on the A side, which is quite wonderful and deserved to be a top 10 hit back in 1966. But hidden on the B side is a track that surely turns the Northern Soul dance clubs on fire when it's played. Just a wonderful beat, gorgeous melody, and great singing! What more could you want?
