single, 1969
Written by Marshall Paul
I prefer this doo-wop version to the Moonglows' original version with its talking and lugubrious tempo. The arrangement is stately but lush, and the harmonies swoop and soar. It starts out with a hushed reverence, with some crystal-pure echoing backing vocals, then gets into a more intense, soul-singer pleading. By the end, Anthony is screaming like James Brown or a preacher, though the song fades out there so the effect is somewhat diminished.
