Original had Benny Benjamin, so I'm voting for that.

C'mon dude, a DJ playing the original version and cutting it up a little is the definitive version?

marvelettes by miles

C'mon dude, the Baltimore club remix of the song is the reason I love the song.

― some dude, Sunday, 15 November 2009 02:05 (sixteen years ago)

So your vote goes to the Marvelettes then, right?

― Jenny-Bea Englishman (Whitey on the Moon), Sunday, 15 November 2009 23:53 (sixteen years ago)

had never even heard of the Beatles or Carpenters versions and they seem like pretty pointlessly faithful covers, so yeah

another write-in for Juelz here

Marvelettes' version amazing, Beatles' version really good. Haven't heard The Carpenters' version, but I'm going to take a flyer and go with The Marvelettes.

― Ismael Klata, Monday, 16 November 2009 12:37 (sixteen years ago)

Carpenters = Marvelettes > Beatles

― caek, Monday, 16 November 2009 12:37 (sixteen years ago)

(for this song, at least.)

I like my favourite Vandellas songs better, but giants nonetheless. My favourite:

I'll Keep Holding On, My Baby Must Be a Magician and of course The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game all slay too

RIP, Gladys.

A great voice. Gone too soon. Too bad she had to fight legal battles with Motown (she and others on that label did).
