history
The song mixes pop , soul , funk and R&B music styles . In contrast to its predecessor You Can't Hurry Love , this song contains call-and-response elements that are similar to gospel .
The song The Supremes was released on October 12, 1966 and was a number one hit in the US.
Cover version of Vanilla Fudge
The 1967 version of the American psychedelic rock band Vanilla Fudge reached number 6 on the US hit parade . In this case, the original was hardly recognizable. The track recorded in mono was extended to 6:47 minutes and slowed down to slow motion, as the original tempo was reduced by half. The psychedelic sound with a neoclassical organ score and sitar passages alienated the original beyond recognition.
Cover version by Kim Wilde
In 1986 Kim Wilde re-recorded the classic for her album Another Step . The instrumentation of this version is very different from the original and corresponds to the typical 1980s sound .
The cover was released worldwide on September 19, 1986 and was a number one hit in the US, Canada, Australia and Norway.
