Interesting video. This was always my favorite song by the group but I guess I was surprised by the composition of the members. I don't recall seeing many photos back in the day, but I guess I envisioned an actual "band" with maybe 6-8 members with no more than 1 or 2 ladies involved.

Yep ... a great version, though for me the version by The Temptations edges it slightly.

I see that the Undisputed Truth version of the song actually made the Dutch charts, peaking at #34 on the week commencing 15th September 1973.  Well that gives the group one more chart entry than they ever achieved in The UK so plaudits to the Dutch for their good taste.  :)

Great version by a group who deserved to be much more than just Whitfield's muse!
