The Jacksons version

A 1976 hit for The Jackson 5 now known as The Jacksons after their departure from Motown nearly two years prior. Though the move made it easy for the brothers to write and produce their own material, they spent a couple of years under the production and direction of fellow soul pioneers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff and under their own label, Philadelphia International. This was one of the songs that the producers backed the young men on and for lead singer Michael professionally, he had shown a lot of vocal growth. Marlon, However, had a back up part. As the song reached a bridge, Gamble & Huff had 18-year-old Michael hitting notes and bridges that he probably would've been restricted to sing in at Motown. Michael's breakdown possibly helped the song reach #6 R&B, #28 Pop and #1 UK. In fact, it was a milestone overseas for the Jacksons because it was the family unit's first #1 single in the UK. A year later, the Jacksons left Philadelphia International for Epic where their greatest success was near. Michael has said that this is one of his favorites during this period and that he was surprised that it wasn't a bigger hit.

Below is the Jackson's original version of this song and after that Ladae introduces a new style to this groove.
