So ’s strange to thk what an uncerta history the Norman Whfield/Barrett Strong posn had, how was rejected twice s fancy, and how the first h versn of was eclipsed jt a year later by the Marv Gaye terpretatn we all know as a worldwi classic. Early the new year, Gaye rerd a new arrangement, but aga, stayed the Hsville vlts.

Other Motown acts cludg the Temptatns and Bobby Taylor also cut the tune, but Whfield was still termed to make a h for Gaye.
