    tammi's rendition is probably my favourite song of all time. romantic and tragic at the same time, dark and beautiful.

    The most amazing thing about this is that this was written by Stevie was he was sixteen. When I was sixteen, I was just a stupid kid while Stevie was writing songs that people would be listening to nearly 50 years into the future on some site called "TH-cam" and people will continue to listen to forever.(long after TH-cam is gone) What a genius.

    Rest in Peace Tammi Terrell. Heaven must have sent you from above. Thank you Steve for writing such a fantastic piece. Much respect to the collaborators, and of course the Funk Brothers, esp. those who've departed us. Thank you Mr. Gordy.

    Another classic gem straight from the vault. Tammi Terrell, god bless her soul, was a terrific and talented singer, gone before her time. She left us with this classic, which, I hate to say, sounds just as good, if not better than Stevie's version.
    Motown lives!

    What blows my mind that a teenage kid (Lil Stevie Wonder) wrote this....What kid has so much lyrical depth?

    • @arnborj
      @arnborj 9 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      +Rodney Davis Stevie Wonder is the greatest songwriter of our time and he lets you feel his song in its entirely when he sings it. Stevie would sometimes write songs for other artist e.g. "Until You Come Back To Me" for Aretha Franklin.
      I love this song more than yesterday. RIP Tammi..

      To be fair, he didn't provide the "lyrical depth." That was Clarence Paul & Morris Broadnax, his co-composers who, like fellow Motown songwriter Sylvia Moy, usually wrote the lyrics to his melodies. After 1970 the lyrics were written by Syreeta Wright. Stevie Wonder didn't start writing his own lyrics without assistance till 1972 with Music of Mind.

    It's no secret that I'm a big fan of Tammi Terrell and I love her voice. Knowing her story and hearing that sweet voice can bring tears to my eyes. She lives on in my heart and I would love to have seen her in concert. Stevie W, what a legend to write a song like that aged 16.

    Stevie Wonder was and still is a charismatic, ex child prodigy. He's truly blessed with multi-musical instrument playing and songwriting skills. And has musical prowess and talent. A genius from an early age. Something he's always in interviews shown to have a strong faith in. And at the time he wrote it, he'd worked hard with the excellent in-house song writing team(s) at Tamla Motown.

      Okay, Michael sounds pretty darn cute in the background. Never knew he was on the track, but now that you've shared that fact, it's undeniable. I love the contrast of his lighter, high tone with the much deeper O'Jays. A nice blend.
      And I agree with everyone else's general consensus regarding Tammi's version. It definitely has a hauntingly beautiful tone to it. I like the two drastically different interpretations of this song.

    i heard this version in a casino playing cards and since then it has had my ear since then. I really like Stevie wonders' version but i must say she brings so much more soul and realization to the lyrics and makes my think more about my past love with ex's. that's what i feel an artist should do for the listener, is evoke emotion, memories and feelings. After I read her bio her version takes me even more.

    Originally recorded by Tammi Terrell in 1966 though unreleased, this was shortly thereafter recorded by Brenda Holloway on March 24, 1966 and, again, put in the can. As everyone knows, this did not surface as a release until its author, Stevie Wonder (who was 16 when he wrote this with his mentor Clarence Paul and Morris Broadnax), recorded it himself on his "Hotter Than July" album in 1986. The Four Tops also recorded a version in 1981 - after they left Motown, on their "Tonight" album (more famous for the song "When She Was My Girl")! In my opinion, the best versions were the ones by Stevie and by Tammi Terrell.

    I hear this song first time on 1999, when I was living at NC, and ask several times if some body knows who sang this song, somebody told me That´s Kirk Whalum and Wendy Moten and I bought the cd so I hear the song but it was fine, but not the same voice.
    Many years later here in my country México, I hear this song again and I surprised my self when I know was sang by Tammi Terrell and was wrote by Stevie Wonder.

    This song has always touched a nerve, now I cry because it reminds me of Tammi Terrell.

    Yup. That''s an all star cast of singers there. Sure, it was a hit, but this song should've dominated the charts.
