She was more than just "My Guy" it seems. I prefer this actually.

This was a cover of The Whatnauts 1970 version. I think the cover is superior. Same producer George Kerr.


Jerry Butler and Smokey Robinson had a song with the same title but completely different lyrics and sound.

Many content Eddie Kendricks had the best male falsetto. Hard to disagree with that after listening to this beauty. So clean and crisp. Damn The Temptations had two of the very best soul voices ever in him and David Ruffin.

"Can I"

Ooh this is funky stuff. I've heard of the Jackson brothers but not the Jackson Sisters. This is from 1973.

"I Believe in Miracles"

"At night I can't sleep I toss and turn. Candlesticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned. Four walls just staring at a N1gga. I'm paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger." One of the greatest samples in hip hop history.
