I still remember hearing it for the first time on a Tom Moulton 1974 recorded mix, unfortunately, many years later, and being completely blown by it. The whole story around Mel Cheren and his primarly influential voice inside Scepter Records would be more than enough to make this pioneer instrumental single version a ground breaking one. Still, I always tend to believe that Norman Harris's seminal role as orchestral arranger, producer and composer is slightly underrated. With Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff, Vincent Montana (among other titans), Norman brings some of the greatest orchestrated grooves all time.

The very first vinyl record with an instrumental version on the B-side. This would be the beginning of a total new approach in vinyl world. Wand, a subdivision of Scepter Records were doubting to release this instrumental version, thinking buyers would have a cheap impression, feeling robbed for their buck, as this was really uncommon to think that strong "out of the circle" for a recordcompany. But the club Dj's were amazed with it. It was an instant hit, and would become the standard for many years to come, till this day. Disco Icon Mel Cheren (later West End Records) had a crucial role pushing the idea while he was working for Scepter Records at the time, and they finally agreed to try it. Mel would later on receive a Billboard Trendsetter Award for this. It provided the so important DJ's opportunities for more creative mixing. And we all know what followed from that day on... Different covers of this song also followed afterwards, and the one from South Shore Commision was probably always considered to be the best version by most people. But that's obviously just a matter of personal taste. This original one has a great groove and vocal, and of course it is a very important piece in music and vinyl history. A must have for both reasons!
