The other day I posted Lenny Williams' version of this off his new album 'Chill' and now there's an Eric Kupper remix of the original, released in 2 versions the Eric Kupper Extended Vocal Mix (8:41) and Eric Kupper Classic Vocal Edit (4:41). Personally the 4:41 version is more than enough for me!
McFadden & Whitehead must have made a fortune from this track alone with various different mixes and cover versions over the years, never mind the hundreds of other songs they have written for other Philly artists such as O'Jays, Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes, Intruders, Billy Paul, MFSB, Peoples Choice, Trammps, Archie Bell & The Drells, Jean Carn, Bunny Sigler, Teddy Pendergrass as well as Melba Moore and The Jacksons before they even first recorded this.
They are both now deceased, Whitehead was shot dead in 2004 aged 55 and McFadden died of cancer in 2006 aged 56. They were both members of The Epsilons who released 2 singles on Stax in 1969 and Triple G in 1972 before they joined Philadelphia International as writers. This is a different group than the one that recorded on Shrine and HEM.
