Love versions of this track from 72 and 73, and this one's no exception. Keith's piano is great, Jerry's playing with gusto, everyone's locked in.

Keith's gentle keys add SO much to this version - a very emotive rendition, just as it should be

A big showcase for Jerry's vocals - he's nice and aggressive here. Keith and Billy sound great as well backing him.

Hot, high-energy, uptempo version with some excellent drumming by Billy.

Plenty of emotion in this one. Jerry's vocal performance, particularly at the end, is awesome.

Funky is right. This is a great slice of uptempo Smokey Robinson-esque R&B. Great early version!

It’s this high because people like it. Nothing more complicated than that. Even though I wouldn’t put this version in my top 10, I find this one to be SUPER enjoyable throughout, hence my upvote. You don’t need any more reason to give it a thumbs-up. I’m sure most people here would say the same. That’s the thing about taste…it’s always subjective.

Wrong date. This was played on the 19th, not the 20th. There's a reason it's not listed here.

Again, this song wasn't played on this date. It's from the 19th, not the 20th. Filler on Dave's 35.

Because this song wasn't played on this date - it was played on the 19th, and included as filler on Dave's 35.
