The best Northern Soul track ever. The original version of this song is quite simply the most sought-after Motown and Northern Soul record of all time. The legendary Motown producer, Frank Wilson, made this solo record for Motown which was so rare, and so in demand, that someone paid £15,000 for a copy (there are only 2 copies, worldwide). The Motown single "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" became so huge that everyone wanted to see Frank perform it. For years he refused, but finally he gave in and did so at Fleetwood in 2000, in front of two and a half thousand people, the one and only time he said he would ever do this.
Funny enough, I personally prefer the Chris Clark version. She recorded it in 1965 on the Motown VIP label, and her version of this track is ultra-rare too. Chris was and still is to me the best expression of Blue-Eyed Soul, not only on Motown.
