You know the original is by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, right?

Yes, but the song is by now associated with Thelma Houston, since she`s the one who had a huge hit with it.

FWIW, the original was a bigger hit in the UK.

you inspired me to watch a bunch of the old Tina-Ike stuff. So freaking AWESOME, they rocked so much harder than anyone that thinks they rock today. Beyonce just doesn't compare.

And I'd never realized how much Prince totally copped Ike's clean tone.

One of my favorite Ike & Tina songs is "Working together". Have you heard that one?

I've been looking but haven't yet found it. neutral Their version of Whole Lotta Love is pretty sweet though.
