There are only a few cover songs that surpass the original. And in my opinion Otis Gayle's version of the Spinners classic is one of those. Hugely thanks to Jackie Mittoo's extraordinary solo.

So, yeah, it was time to do a Riddim mix.

Some of the versions I found, I couldn't really stand. That's why I ended up blending them with the original Studio One instrumental. And I love the result!
