yup. it was originally written for the undisputed truth in 1971 who had a minor hit with it. the temps were persuaded to record it -with much grumbling - for the album 'the temptations sing norman whitfield' and had a huge hit with possibly the best known intro to a song of all time?

possibly the best known intro to a song of all time?

I wouldn't dispute that. Either this song or Shaft.

The Undisputed Truth returned the favour by getting a hit with 'smiling faces sometimes'
originally recorded by the Temps....
