1975 cover version

The composition scored a hit when it was released by Sharon Paige and Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes in 1975. Unlike most of the group's singles from this time period, Melvin handles most of the vocal duties, while Teddy Pendergrass appears for one line and the closing part of the song. Paige took on a more prominent role in the group after Pendergrass left the group for a solo career.

Chart performance

Released in 1975 from the album To Be True, it reached number one on the Hot Soul Singles chart in the summer of that year. It reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.^[1]
