The song was originally written by Barrett Strong and Norman Whitfield of The Temptations. The Stones version is excellent. Never could make up my mind which one I liked better. The Temptations The Stones version I guess I could comment a bit on why this song has meaning to me, although it is probably obvious in some regards. I grew up (often failing to do so) in a Blue Collar neighborhood on the Southwest side of Chicago. As a teenager, I was more into Motown than anything else because that was what I was used to listening to. Many years later (after two failed engagements (the crazy women kept saying that I was supposed to change)), I went out briefly with the ditz of the century. I am to be excused as she had a really nice rack. Anyway, when driving away from the ditz for the final time, the Stones version came on the radio. I still like that song. Great song, both versions. And I can relate, being a South Sider myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've got to say that the original by the Temptations is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard - the strings, the vocal harmonies, the tempo, everything - I never knew that the Stones made a version of this, but I made it half way through and shut if off, it just didn't do it for me - it's not a rock and roll song, sorry. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O.K. I'll give you that. Stones version vs. the original... no comparison. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiFlyer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 My recent post about a wedding gone sideways in "A Holiday Trip to Isan" got me to thinking about this song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiFlyer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 This song came up next on YouTube. It was the intro to "Big Little Lies". Love this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 You have to be in the right frame of mind for this one. But one of the best vocal tunes ever, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasseye Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I saw the Eagles live three times over the years. The second time was at Washington Park Racetrack, Homewood Illinois (a couple years after this show the place burned down). The show was with Linda Ronstadt. What a show ! This was the big hit at the time, and still one of my favorite Eagles songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
