ORIGINATION Tamla Motown: Big Hits & Hard To Find Classics, Vol. 2
RECORDED IN 1964
LAST LISTENED TO Sunday
RATING ★★★★★
It's strange that for a song as well-known as this, I only heard this version of it recently. For many years, I've known both the Small Faces and the Spencer Davis Group recordings of it but as is often the case, there is something in the original version that others just can't quite reach. Maybe it is in Ms. Holloway's smooth voice, the sweet strings or the earthy piano. Whatever it is, that near-inderfinable magic, it is enough to stand this version above all others. Tender and beautiful.
