I heard a version of this gem on the radio this weekend and was bowled over by it...

I tried to track it down online. I found this version (which has a superior bass line), but it's not the version I seek. The version I'm trying to find has a somewhat more cascading rhythm guitar line (alongside the wah wah) and a composition very like Inner City Blues.

Conversation online suggests there are several versions of this cut floating around. Can someone school me on them?

Probably can find it on this deluxe cd set

I'll be sure to check the two versions on here.

A few months ago, I downloaded almost all of Marvin's commerically released catalogue. Somehow I missed this deluxe package.

You must be talking about this version:

You can find it on the deluxe 2-CD set of Let's Get It On, which I highly recommend for any Marvin fan (newbie or hardcore)!

I've heard this one as well, but I don't.... think.... so. Lemme check this out with some headphones, though.

It's Alternate 2. Thanks!

There were three different versions. The original video is short of about two minutes. The second was just a longer mix of the original and the third was different and he sung in tenor on that one.
