A transitional Motown classic bursting with brassy soul, gospel-fueled optimism, and the iconic, sitar-laced groove of its legendary title track.
August 7, 1970 · Motown
A burst of bright brass and the buzzy twang of an electric sitar break through the speakers, carrying a voice that finally sounds entirely like itself. There is a loose, sweat-slicked joy to these tracks, where gospel-reared piano chords crash into driving tambourines. You can feel the heat of a crowded Detroit studio as the singer takes the reins, trading his child-star polish for a gritty, shouting optimism that leaps straight out of the groove.
