When I think of this song it's always the J5 version that I here with TTD'S being second that comes to mind

I like The Tempts. version

I found an interesting cover by Brenda Holloway:

I had to turn off The Supremes' version


I love how they slightly changed the arrangement for The Jackson 5's version

That was hard to listen to, huh? Boy I'm so glad Diana's vocals slow down a notch or two.

Gotta give props to William "Smokey" Robinson for writing this joint.

Out of all of those versions, I'm the most used to TTD's.

En Vogue covered this, too in the intro to one of their songs.

The only reason I didn't post it because, of course, it goes into "Hold On". But I do love their short version.

Of course I'm familiar with Smokey's and Michaels' but, man, I'm diggin' the Brenda and the Tabulations's version!! Never heard this version but it's got that lowrider oldie but goodie flava to it. My new favorite version!! Thanks Timmy84!

Wow! Just heard the Temps version. Awesome! Very soulful with a faster tempo. The harmonies are to die for!

IMO, Sananda Maitreya's cover version is the best.

For me it's Michael's interpretation of the song that's just simply amazing. Also TTD did a good version of the song.

Wow,I didn't know that this song was done by so many different artists I'm only familiar with the Jackson 5 version,which I love.
